The Indian Ocean is home to a few of the most beautiful tropical islands in the world – Seychelles, Mauritius and Maldives. The long distance from Europe and America means most tourists look elsewhere than the Indian Ocean when going on holiday. This is a plus if you want to avoid the crowds. If a beach holiday on the crowded coast of Alicante in Spain is not for you, then Maldives certainly will. Many resorts in Maldives own their own private islands, guaranteeing you peace and quiet. There are over 1000 islands within the archipelago, of which fewer than 200 are inhabited.
