Another Indian Ocean gem, Mauritius , also has its share of spotless sands and lush scenery while promising jaw dropping biodiversity , including endemic species, botanical gardens, mountainous hiking trails, and more.

MAURITIUS

The world’s third-largest ocean is stunning from every angle and is an extraordinary destination for adventure seekers , honeymooners , and anyone craving an island escape. It’s also the location for several popular movies. From 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story , which saw the Maldives’ stunning Laamu Atoll as a backdrop for planet Scarif, to the more recent Resort to Love (2021) , a romantic comedy enjoyed for its light-hearted plot, it was filmed entirely in Mauritius . And nothing will inspire you more than the luxury accommodation available. Whether you fancy an upmarket retreat at You & Me Maldives , a hidden-away stay with an infinity pool and underwater spa at Huvafen Fushi , Maldives, or a family getaway at Le Meridien Ile Maurice in Mauritius, where three pools and an abundance of mouth-watering restaurants await. Home to the Maldives, Mauritius, the Seychelles, and Sri Lanka, the Indian Ocean is undoubtedly a big trip, but with our Travel Specialists’ expert knowledge and experience, it needn’t be a big deal.
