As with all clichés, it’s partly true but the reality is far more interesting – and much more accessible. You’ll probably also think it’s tropically, uncomfortably hot, being only 20 degrees south of the Equator in the Indian Ocean.

It covers an area of about 2,244 square kilometres (866 sq mi) and is home to several natural warm water springs, as well as a wide variety of flora and fauna.
