Over my career I've been lucky enough to visit the Indian ocean several times.  Stayed at a few hotels on Mauritius and conducted site inspections of lots more. Mauritius does stylish resort exceptionally well. The Seychelles Islands is such a different concept, a collection of islands that I have to say  are beautiful.  Finally we move onto the Maldives, islands to be visitedsooner rather than later. Individual, relaxing, quiet and calming.
