Indian Ocean

Travel to the islands of the Indian Ocean and you may find it difficult to choose between land and sea. On sand-fringed idylls, swaying palm trees hide luxurious hotels that offer an unsurpassable level of service and comfort. But step out into the glass-clear waters and you’re met by an underwater world almost psychedelic in colour. If only all your decisions were this hard?

Enjoy whale watching off the beautiful coast of Sri Lanka. Visit the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, the island’s major conservation project and visit Colombo, Sri Lanka’s commercial hub, which offers a fantastic shopping experience. 

You may not automatically associate this with Mauritius but it is a golfing heaven with a selection of 9 and 18-hole golf courses around the island. Visit the Black Gorges National Park in the most picturesque part of the island and Grand Baie in the north is ideal for a day’s shopping, and at night is alive with local restaurants and bars.

Stay in a villa on stilts above the water for ultimate privacy in a truly spectacular setting, none other The Maldives. Perfect for your honeymoon from Belfast or Dublin or a Beach holiday from Belfast or Dublin. Dive into the turquoise waters where snorkelling is a must with a dazzling variety of reefs. Experience night-time scuba diving and submarine photography and visit a local island to sample life of the Maldivians. All available on one of our many holidays from Belfast and Dublin.
