Disabled Bed and Breakfast Beach Holidays in Indian Ocean with Wheelchair Ramps and Shower Chair

The Indian Ocean enjoys thousands of islands dotted throughout the warm, turquoise waters. Think coral and sand islands with palm trees swaying in the light breeze, gentle waves and endless blue sky.

Madagascar, a large island off Mozambique, the much smaller Zanzibar lying off the coast of Tanzania and, in the eastern Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka, on the tip of India, offer a wealth of exotic experiences and delights.

The tiny islands of the Seychelles and Mauritius are renowned for being romantic honeymoon destinations, while the atolls of the Maldives are right in the heart of the Indian Ocean.

If Indian spirituality, watching turtles hatching or staying in luxury villas on stilts extending right out into the ocean are your idea of holiday heaven, then make the islands of the Indian Ocean your next destination.

The best time to visit the Maldives is between January and April, while between April and October, the Seychelles and Mauritius are simply divine. Direct flights from the UK take around 12 hours, longer if there’s a stopover, usually in Dubai.
