Azure waters, stunning white sand beaches and plenty of opportunity for adventure make Mauritius a hot spot for honeymooners, families and adventurers alike (the diving and golf are world-class).
It took longer than some island getaways to recover from lockdowns, having stayed closed to tourists until late 2021 — but now, being both comparatively affordable to tropical island favourites such as the Maldives, and with a rich culture to recommend it, it’s firmly back on the long-haul map of dream destinations. You can also fly direct to Port Louis from London to this sub-tropical paradise, situated off the south-eastern coast of Africa.
