Mauritius Holidays
No longer a secret, Mauritius is an ideal place to enjoy some sophisticated comfort at the end of an African safari and has also become a popular destination for a beach holiday in its own right.
African and Asian racial groups and religions blend easily in Mauritius, overlaid with a Creole influence left over from the island’s colonial era. You’re just as likely to stumble across Hindu temples as Christian churches.
Despite a wealth of things to do and see on Mauritius, most visitors find the sweet temptations of the major coastal resorts – the spas, the golf courses, the restaurants, the swimming pools – quite enough to fill their time. Hotels here first set the standards of luxury the rest of the world must follow, and continue to evolve to further refine the concept of tropical luxury. Expect excellent facilities, wonderful cuisine, and an attention to detail that means your every whim is satisfied.

Mauritius Holidays - A Personal View
I have to admit to being surprised by how much I enjoyed Mauritius. Usual African trips for me tend to include secluded bush camps, a bit of self driving or some remote walking safari. To be on a small island surrounded by luxurious hotels was a bit of a departure from the norm. However, I was stunned by the quality of the hotels I saw – the food and service is truly magnificent – and the beaches are breathtaking. I imagine it would be a great honeymoon spot, but it’s also somewhere I’d definitely revisit with my children, the facilities for kids of all ages are fantastic whether they want to sail, waterski, snorkel or play tennis, it’s all there and more.

Golf Mauritius is a great destination for golfers with several hotels having excellent courses.

Botanical Gardens Discover Pamplemousses Gardens, a wonderful example of an age old botanical garden, established by a French governor 300 years ago. The gardens contain an extensive collection of palm trees and water lilies, and amongst the most impressive sights is the peaceful pond concealed by the enormous floating leaves of the giant Amazon water lily. |
