As far as luxury destinations go, very few even compare to the paradise island that is Mauritius. Turquoise blue lagoons lapping onto golden sand beaches, some of the finest hotel resorts in the world and a warm sunny climate (all year round) all add to the charm and allure that is Mauritius. But don’t take our word for it – as Mark Twain himself suggested “Mauritius was made first – then heaven was copied from it”.

And do you know what, everyone who’s been knows exactly what he was talking about.

Mauritius is a large island situated along the tropical latitudes of the Indian ocean – it’s 2045 square km and enjoys a lovely 330km of coastline.

While Mauritius is perfectly suited to high budget travellers visiting plush resorts such as The Hilton, there are also several cheaper choices for the budget conscious traveller. Indeed, anyone can indulge in the tropical paradise that is Mauritius.
