Mauritius-Mumbai-Maldives
All
Inclusive
14 Nights
Why
just settle for one paradise when you can visit two Indian Ocean paradises in
one holiday on one of our exclusive multi centre holiday deals featuring the thee
M’s of the Indian Ocean? Our unique offer brings together the exotic and remote
Indian Ocean islands of Mauritius and the Maldives, plus the added bonus of a
city break to Mumbai in between. These are also the perfect places to visit for
a honeymoon. With pristine tropical beaches, diverse cultures, rugged natural
beauty, and tranquil temples; cosmopolitan Mauritius has something for
everyone. Highlights include a visit to Tamarind Falls – a string of seven
waterfalls set in a breath-taking tropical valley, the Crocodile Park for its
namesake and a host of other local wildlife and Black River Gorges National
Park, where you can hike to the highest point of the Island.
Then it’s off to Mumbai to ratchet up the tempo on a three
night city break to explore the history and colonial architecture of India. Mumbai is built on what was once an archipelago of seven islands. Between 1661 and 1666 the islands were placed in
the possession of the English Empire. Over
the years of British rule the islands were merged via landfill to become the
area known today as Mumbai. India gained independence from Great Britain in 1947;
and in 1995 Bombay was returned to its original name of Mumbai named after
Goddess Mumba Devi.
Marine Drive is a C-shaped 3 km stretch of road lined with palm trees
overlooking the Arabian Sea. At night when the streetlights come on it
resembles a necklace and is often referred to the Queen’s Necklace. This is one
of the best places for a walk with refreshing breezes and numerous stalls and
restaurants. Perhaps visit the Rajabai Clock Tower which is an
85-metre-tall tower resembling London’s Big Ben, and Bombay High Court which is
one of the oldest High Courts in India, and it’s also a UNESCO world heritage
site.
Male is an island and the capital of the Maldives, in the Indian Ocean.
It lies on Male Atoll, about 400 miles (645 km) southwest of Sri Lanka. The
Maldives is a nation of islands in the Indian Ocean, that spans across the
equator. The country is comprised of 1192 islands that stretch along a length
of 871 kilometres. While the country covers an area of approximately 90,000
square kilometres, only 298 square kilometres of that is dry land. The islands
are grouped into a double chain of 26 atolls. The country’s unique geography
mesmerizes the visitor. Reefs that offer bands of colour, tiny jewel-like
islands rimmed with the whitest of soft sand surrounded by the clearest shallow
waters that one can imagine. Only 200 of the islands are inhabited, and a
select few on each of the atolls are resorts and some of the islands are used
for industry and agriculture.
