Due west of the southern tip of India is a group of tiny coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean like a string of pearls. The archipelago consists of over 1,000 islands, all surrounded by the finest white sand beaches and warm crystal blue waters offering an underwater utopia of unparalleled colour and marine life. This stunning destination is one of the top dive locations and is also perfect for a whole variety of watersports in the shallow, emerald lagoons ideal for the novice or expert.
We have chosen a small selection of islands which vary greatly in size, standards and facilities. Some are more sophisticated resorts offering swimming pools, entertainment and a wider choice of cuisine and accommodation. Others have retained the typical 'no news, no shoes' flavour with thatched roofs, ceiling fans and open air bathrooms. This secluded setting where temperatures average around 850F year round and peace and quiet are the order of the day really is the nearest thing to paradise.
