The 100’s of un-crowded beaches throughout the islands are considered some of the very best in the World, and many of our visitors return time and again as no other destination compares.

Lying in the heart of the Indian Ocean, this archipelago was a strategic location for Seafaring adventurers such as Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch, French and English. Our visitors today are captivated by the tales and remnants of wrecks, pirates and buried treasure.
