Among the thousand sand spits and uninhabited islets of the Mauritius, about two hundred lush but tiny islands are home to human life.

Many of these are the private reserve of single hotel . Each Maldivian gem sits in its own shallow lagoon, formed by encircling coral reefs that hold back the Indian Ocean ...a necessary blessing, for none among them rises more than seven feet above sea level.

Visitors beguiled by the breathtaking colours of hundred shades of blue, will crisscross the ocean on catamarans to capture, on camera and memory, the simplicity of it all.
