Every resort in the Maldives sits on its own private island surrounded by palm trees and picture-perfect beaches.

The weather in the Maldives remains warm 365 days a year, with lows of around 24°C in November and highs of 31°C in April.
However, like most Indian Ocean locations, it is prone to a monsoon season which usually runs from May to November.
So, if you’re looking to stay dry (most of the time), whilst also enjoying the stunning weather in the archipelago, then you’ll be best visiting in the dry season from December to April.
Holidays to the Seychelles are famed for ultimate relaxation on paradise beaches and luxurious resorts surrounded by captivating tropical scenery. However, this magnificent island nation offers much more, with heritage and history aplenty, breath-taking sights both on land and at sea, and a whole host of thrilling activities and water sports. As well as being the perfect destination for romance, the Seychelles also have plenty to appeal to families, with new adventures to be shared and magical memories waiting to be made during the holiday of your dreams.
The Seychelles continue to top lists of the best Indian Ocean holidays due to the stunning weather it has all year around.
The average temperature of 27°C makes it a perfect beach destination, and the scenery? Well that speaks for itself.
The Seychelles do experience rainy spells from November to January, but these usually clear quickly for the sun to come out again. However, with May to September being the dry season, this sensational destination makes the perfect spot for a summer holiday. This being said, there isn’t a bad time to discover the Seychelles.
Magnificent beaches, fascinating ruins, stunning wildlife and tantalising cuisine; Sri Lanka has it all and much more. Whether you crave sun-soaked days on glorious golden beaches, or seek to quench your thirst for adventure, you can do both during a holiday to this phenomenal destination.

However you choose to spend your time in Sri Lanka and whoever you share it with – family, friends or a loved one - you’re sure to enjoy a phenomenal holiday experience that will live long in the memory.
Unlike most of the popular spots in the Indian Ocean which have the same climate throughout, Sri Lanka has all round beautiful weather... depending on what part of the country you visit.
There’re two monsoon seasons, one in the north and east, and another in the south and west, both at different times of the year.
In the south western part of the country, you’ll be looking at a dry season between December and March, with heavy rain between May and September.
Meanwhile, to the north east, heavy monsoon weather usually falls between October and January, with brighter skies and generally dry weather between May and September.
Apart from the two previously mentioned monsoon seasons, Sri Lanka generally enjoys a tropical climate 365 days a year, with set seasons.
Considered the ultimate tropical paradise, Mauritius delivers the finest luxuries and style in a captivating exotic setting awash with vibrancy and colour. From cultural exploration to complete relaxation on pristine beaches, holidays to Mauritius take your breath away, offering enchanting vistas and blissful days of pure indulgence. As well as being a much-loved location for dream weddings and a sensational honeymoon destination, Mauritius is also a fabulous choice for family holidays, with an array of fun outdoor adventures and activities to enjoy, as well as plenty of fresh local cuisine. With partying, magnificent sunsets, a taste of history and crafts all on offer, Mauritius is the perfect choice for your next holiday.
A big selling point to Mauritius is that it doesn’t tend to have a rainy season, allowing visitors to enjoy the glorious weather pretty much 24/7, 365 days a year.
The certified dry season is May to November, but most months will see less than 5 rainy days. This makes the likelihood of your luxury holiday being a washout extremely unlikely, something you can’t say for certain about many other nearby locations.
In the south western part of the country, you’ll be looking at a dry season between December and March, with heavy rain between May and September.
