The Indian Ocean is the third-largest body of water in the world and nestled in its warm waters are a number of spectacular tropical island destinations. Each is unique, some with a distinct fusion of foreign and local influence, while others are decidedly African. All, however, are home to some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet.
