| It's not often that we hear of a genuinely new destination but that is what the Lakshadweep Islands are. Formerly closed to tourism, this archipelago north of the Maldives is now ready to do business with divers. Of 36 coral atolls scattered across the Arabian Sea, only one, Bagram, welcomes visitors, but they are restricted to 60 at one time. The virgin white beaches await your footprints. We can't tell you what the diving is like but the 290-year-old wreck of the Princess Royal, sunk in battle by the French, awaits your inspection. Prices start from£1480. |
