In June, Destinations of the World News brings you the annual Indian Ocean issue. For travellers seeking some remote island escapism, we visit Desroches Island in the Seychelles, the idyllic resorts of Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru and Angsana Velavaru in the Maldives and Benguerra Island in the remote Quirimbas Archipelago in Mozambique, which has emerged from its troubled past to become one of the Indian Ocean’s most desirable destinations. We also dine our way through the emerging contemporary Creole culinary scene in Mauritius, explore the edgy boutiques, sophisticated hotels and the rich, colonial past of hip Sri Lankan capital, Colombo. Elsewhere in the magazine, actress Meghan Markles talks travel and a life growing up on set, we review the cuisine at La Palme d’Or in Cannes, stay a night at La Bamba de Areco in Argentina and take the 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS 500 for a spin. Enjoy the issue.
