Get set, go: to some of the most beautiful islands in the world

There's nothing quite as magical as that feeling when your feet first touch the sand of somewhere new - especially when that sand is part of a jaw-droppingly beautiful beach looking out over the Indian Ocean.

With so many teeny, tiny, yet totally idyllic islands to choose from, how do you know which is best suited to you? Memorable Maldives or wild Mauritius? Here's hoping you can decide which one is most up your street (or should that be beach...)

A tranquil escape in the middle of the gorgeous ocean, or an island adventure - what's calling your name?
