Holidays to the Indian Ocean typically means a trip to one or more of the following four countries: Maldives, Sri Lanka, Seychelles, and Mauritius. All of which offer plenty of golden sands, hideaway islands, picture-perfect beaches, world-class hotels and lush dramatic landscapes. You can soak up the charm and culture of the Indian Ocean region by staying in a traditional fishing village. Alternatively, you could opt for a pristine beach resort or a luxury hotel.
