Best spots to go snorkelling

Comprised of 1,192 coral islands, The Maldives form an archipelago unlike anywhere else on Earth. One of the key attractions of this fabulous destination is its staggering array of marine life, with over 240 varieties of coral providing a home to more than 1,000 species of fish. From sharks and rays to turtles and tropical fish, it’s a fantastic place to snorkel, and the Kani and Finolhu Villas resorts are perfectly situated right beside the sea for an easy stroll from your bedroom to the shallows.

Mauritius is perfect for snorkelling, as the whole island is enclosed by a coral reef. Blue Bay Marine Park is probably the best place to start, as the shallow depth and perfect visibility makes it ideal for beginners (great for kids who want to spot Nemo too, as the Clownfish population here is soaring). Pointe aux Piments, near La Pointe aux Canonniers, is the place to snorkel with sea turtles and Flic en Flac [close to La Plantation d’Albion gets the most parrotfish, but it’s Ile aux Cerfs, just off the East Coast, that offers something for everyone – truly one of the world’s greatest dive spots.

The first thing you notice about The Seychelles is the colour. With blues, greens and golds unlike anything you’ve seen before, the tiny Indian Ocean paradise looks slightly unreal. And then you swim beneath the water… Finding a good snorkelling spot in the Seychelles is as easy as stepping off the nearest beach – with neon blue water, vivid reefs and rare wildlife surrounding each island, offering some of the most memorable underwater experiences in the world.

Right where the West Indies meets the North Atlantic, the waters of the Turks and Caicos offer a unique ecosystem in calm, crystal clear seas. The Turkoise resort is a great place to explore the exquisite Caicos Barrier Reef in Grace Bay, with smaller reefs for kids to snorkel, Malcolm’s Road Beach, close to the deep wall drop-off, for experienced divers, and the Bright Reef coral gardens of full of turtles and rays for everyone in between.

The exclusive resorts around Nusa Dua, in Bali, have a good reputation for a reason. One of the best and most beautiful areas for swimming in the world, the south-eastern tip of the island is cupped by a spectacular reef that’s broad enough to hold back the currents of the Indian Ocean, and diverse enough to house tropical marine habitats that are unlike anywhere else in the region. Menjangan Island in the North, Nusa Lembongan further south, and Pandangbai in the east are all great alternatives too. Discover Club Med in Bali
