Get set, go: to some of the most beautiful islands in the world

There's nothing quite as magical as that feeling when your feet first touch the sand of somewhere new - especially when that sand is part of a jaw-droppingly beautiful beach looking out over the Indian Ocean.

With so many teeny, tiny, yet totally idyllic islands to choose from, how do you know which is best suited to you? Memorable Maldives or wild Mauritius? Here's hoping you can decide which one is most up your street (or should that be beach...)

A tranquil escape in the middle of the gorgeous ocean, or an island adventure - what's calling your name?

The Indian Ocean is a dreamy stretch of turquoise that hugs the coasts of paradise destinations like the Maldives and Mauritius. Think swaying palms, soft sands, and epic sunsets!

The sweet spot is May to October—hello sunshine and goodbye monsoon! Dry, warm, and blissfully beachy, it's the perfect time to dive in (literally).

Jet off with the kids to Heritance Aarah (Maldives) or Radisson Blu Azuri Resort & Spa (Mauritius). Expect family-sized fun with kids’ clubs, water sports, and plenty of space to relax.

Visa rules vary by destination—but many Indian Ocean islands like the Maldives and Mauritius offer visa-free or visa-on-arrival access for UK travellers. Just pack your passport and double-check before you go!

It can be ultra-luxury, but Virgin Atlantic Holidays offers options for every budget. From boutique resorts to family-friendly getaways, there’s a slice of paradise with your name on it—without blowing the budget.
