Broaden your child’s horizons with an idyllic Indian Ocean family holiday and enjoy close encounters of the natural kind in the warm waters of the Maldives, Seychelles, or Mauritius. Hours of fun on the white sands and memorable cultural experiences await.
The weather in many of the Indian Ocean’s archipelagos can be magnificent all year round, but we believe the best time is between November and March. While the ‘monsoon season’ spreads through the summer months, it usually only ever rains for about an hour at a time and low-season means more value for summer holidays! Snorkelling and diving are especially enjoyable in April and October, when the water temperatures are around 28°c.
Whether your destination of choice is the Maldives or Mauritius, you’ll find plenty to do with your family. White sand beaches, turquoise ocean and luscious palm forests are abundant wherever you stay. But you don’t just have to be on the coast to have fun. With hikes, nature trails, climbing and cycling, you can explore every inch of paradise.
