MAURITIUS
A sun, sea and sand sensation
When it comes to Indian Ocean islands, Mauritius has carved itself a well-deserved place in the safari sun, thanks to its amazing natural beauty, wonderful melting pot of people and cultures and simply stunning beaches.
The island is lapped by warm, turquoise waters and encircled by pristine coral reefs and a handful of wonderful little islands and islets. Its interior is dominated by dramatic peaks and calderas that give a glimpse into its violent geological past, born as it was from volcanic fire.
Lush, green and lusciously tropical, Mauritius has a fascinating history that makes it worthy of exploring, from its early days as a slave trading outpost to the advent of colonial occupation and the sugar trade that gave rise to countless plantations and still provides its major export.
If it's total relaxation you're after, and the suntan of a lifetime, then the countless luxurious beach resorts are the way to go, including everything you could wish for and leaving you the sole job of deciding which swimsuit to wear before finding a spot on the soft white sand with your name on it.
Try your hand at snorkelling, scuba diving or a round of golf. Or just lay back on a lounger with a brightly coloured cocktail in your hand and wonder at how impossibly blue the ocean is. It's a tough call, but if you're game we're happy to help you live it!
