Two dream island destinations, two very different holidays. Here's how to choose between them.
The Maldives is all about the resort. Each island is typically a single hotel, so you choose your home for the trip and rarely leave. Expect overwater villas, world-class house reefs and total seclusion — perfect for honeymoons and couples who want to disconnect completely.
Mauritius is a full island with towns, mountains, waterfalls and culture alongside its beaches. You can stay in one resort but venture out to markets, the seven-coloured earth at Chamarel, botanical gardens and Creole restaurants. It suits families and travellers who like variety and activities.
Choose the Maldives for romance and reef; choose Mauritius for a more rounded island holiday with things to see and do. Both are excellent value when planned from India in the right season — and we can quote both side by side.
