Weddings Abroad in the Indian Ocean

It can be difficult to entertain the scale of our planet’s oceans, and at over 68.5 million sq. miles, the gigantic expanse of the Indian Ocean is no exception. Covering 20% of the earth’s surface, it holds many treasures in some of the world’s most alluring island destinations dotted across its vastness.
In fact, many of these islands are frequently acknowledged in consumer polls as virtually flawless, utterly paradisiacal destinations that offer the ultimate in exotic tropical holidays. For example, most survey results you will encounter concerning the world’s most desirable islands will include heavenly Mauritius, and a Top 10 of the greatest diving destinations would always include the Maldives. When it comes to the finest beaches you could find, the otherworldly Anse Source d’Argent in the Seychelles will certainly figure prominently.

Mauritius truly is a stunningly beautiful place and thoroughly deserving of any plaudits sent its way. Long a favourite of the wealthy and successful, this gorgeous island is encircled by amazing beaches that are lapped by gentle, clear seas and edged with softly rustling palms. Mauritius is green, lush and presided over by strange, jagged peaks that add to the pervading atmosphere of romantic eastern mystique. It is an Indian Ocean island you should allow to lead you by the hand to naturally discover its many charms and delights.
That Seychelles beach we mentioned earlier is a classic – but entirely typical of the quality of beaches the Seychelles can offer its lucky visitors. Contributing 115 islands’ worth of beaches to the total of 66,500km+ of largely exquisite Indian Ocean coastline, the Seychelles is an archipelago of unfeasible beauty that acts as a magnet to visitors from all over the world. If you are looking for an overseas beach destination for your wedding or honeymoon that combines the exotic with tranquillity and natural beauty, look no further than the Seychelles.
White Sand Weddings also heartily recommends wonderful Sri Lanka for your wedding abroad. An ancient land that exudes an air of mystery, it is shaped like a dewdrop dripping off Southern India, and for any couples that have yet to visit an Asian country represents an extremely fine portal to the region. Sri Lanka is exotic, beautiful, tranquil and unreservedly romantic with many extraordinary wedding venues that will take your breath away!
If you wish to know anything whatsoever about any of our Indian Ocean weddings or honeymoons, all you need to do is get in touch: please call NOW on 0800 157 5710 or email us your enquiry. We look forward to hearing from you!

L’Harmonie brings international trends and flavours to your plate with theme nights from all over the world.

World's Best Hotels 2010

You’re lounging on a white sand beach, with nothing but turquoise water in front. Behind you lies the comforts of an 18th-century great house and luxurious yellow cottages with private patios, all set on a 30-acre, palm tree–filled plantation. Want to explore? A Vespa is at the ready. It’s just another day at the Nisbet Plantation Beach Club in Nevis.
It’s experiences like these that travelers crave. And it’s our mission at Travel + Leisure to help you make them happen. Which is why, every year for the past 15 years, we’ve asked our readers to vote on their absolute favorite hotels in the World’s Best Awards survey. (Nisbet came in at No. 6.)
This year, “the spirit of exploration prevailed,” says Travel + Leisure’s editor in chief, Nancy Novogrod. Out of the Top 100 hotels, 69 are located outside of the U.S. and Canada (there are eight in India, seven in South Africa, and six in Italy and France, respectively). TripAdvisor found similar results on a recent survey: 60 percent of travelers are planning to visit Europe in the next year.
A few top winners came from the most remote reaches of the globe. One example: the Fairmont Mara Safari Club in Nairobi, Kenya, which rose from No. 96 last year to No. 3 in 2010. We’re betting the high score is due to the presence of the evermore elusive Big 5 animals, which the resort’s expert trackers take guests to search for on twice-daily game drives. It’s clear that travelers are looking for “encounters with the natural world,” says Novogrod.
The Peninsula Bangkok also had a meteoric rise this year, from No. 66 in 2009 to No. 7 in 2010. We’re attributing this shift to our readers’ increased affection for Asia and Bangkok (newly anointed the 2010 World’s Best City), with its world-class hotels, shopping, restaurants, and happily, peace once again. [The survey ended before the upheaval.]
For those looking to stay close to home, this year’s list delivers plenty of ideas. Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago (No. 20) opened less than two years ago, but it has already wowed our readers with its minimalist design, stellar service, and indulgent brunch menu. Chicago also has three other hotels on the list, while perennial powerhouse New York City had only one: the Ritz-Carlton New York Central Park. Are second—and smaller—cities on the rise?
Perhaps so. The Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole skyrocketed to No. 41 in the Top 100 (its score was too low to be listed last year), which illustrates that less popular destinations do have their own appeal, and also that T+L readers are looking to connect more with the outdoors.
That same get-your-hands-dirty desire brings guests to the Inn at Palmetto Bluff (there’s horseback riding, boating, and fishing on the 40-acre riverfront grounds), though the South Carolina low-country hotel fell from No. 14 in 2009 to No. 41 this year (it’s tied with Jackson Hole), helping to make room at the top for No. 2 Triple Creek Ranch, Montana’s all-inclusive rustic lodge that ranked No. 4 in 2008 before failing to make the list at all last year.
