THE MAGIC OF MAURITIUS
The tropical island of Mauritius, hidden away in the southern Indian Ocean, is a heavenly combination of glittering blue lagoons, velvet, white sand beaches, and sprawling rainforests. Although most are drawn here by the lure of idyllic palm-fringed shores, look a little further and you’ll find this tiny island holds the key to exotic explorations and an abundance of marine adventures too.
A holiday to Mauritius will certainly deliver when it comes to picture-perfect beaches, in fact, it's fair to say you’ll find some of the best white sand beaches in the world here. For the ultimate fly and flop escape, try one of the fabulously luxurious resorts along the west coast and if you can tear yourself away from your sun lounger you’ll find some excellent snorkelling, diving, and plenty of water sports on offer too. If you prefer your animal encounters above water level, head to Tamarin Bay for a spot of dolphin watching, or if you are travelling with children stop by La Cuvette beach in the north which is perfect for families to swim.

A DREAM GETAWAY
Against a backdrop of mountains draped in stunning shades of green, dramatic volcanic peaks and enchanting waterfalls, this lush and vibrant island is home to many beautiful parks where you’ll find giant tortoises meandering amongst exotic flora and fauna and rare, native plants. There are some fantastic walking trails to be navigated and for something a little different, jump onto a horse-drawn carriage at Domaine des Pailles where you’ll be lead through the spice garden, sugar houses, and rum distillery.
Should you choose to stay near the island’s vibrant capital of Port Louis, you’ll discover some excellent restaurants, influenced by a mix of European, African, Indian, and Chinese descendants that have made their mark on the island and its cuisine over time. Whilst you’re here, take the chance to indulge in a little retail therapy and for a splash of culture in between all that sunbathing, take the time to explore some of the magnificent sculptures and beautiful Hindu temples that can be found here.
Mauritius is a magnet for honeymooners or those looking for a romantic escape, but it’s also equally as popular for its excellent family-friendly facilities, award-winning golf courses, and sumptuous spas and wellness retreats. Whatever it is your looking for in an escape to Mauritius, our experienced Travel Consultants are here to make sure your holiday is as unique as you are.
AMBRE ★★★★
Backing a stretch of coral beach, this relaxed, adult-only, all-inclusive resort is known for its welcoming service.
From the moment you see the perfectly framed view as you arrive into the lobby you can appreciate the fantastic beachfront setting and chilled-out and friendly atmosphere of this east-coast resort. The focal point is the large infinity pool which is just steps away from the sands of the sweeping beach; the walk along the beach towards Belle Mare is an enjoyable way to while away a couple of hours. A trip here wouldn’t be complete without a spa treatment to the sound of the waves in the oceanfront palapa, or a trip out onto the lagoon on a kayak or Laser dingy if you're looking for a romantic interlude.
