When it comes to classic paradise getaways, Mauritius delivers on every level. Fringed by powdery soft golden sands and turquoise waters, this Indian Ocean island is increasingly drawing UK travellers seeking everything from world-class golf courses and family-friendly resorts to adventurous getaways.
While there are plenty of affordable options on the island, Mauritius does do luxury particularly well. There’s the resort with its own private island, the grand hotel with a lagoon surrounded by suites on stilts, and the string of villas stretching through 35 hectares of lush tropical gardens – to name just a few of the options for top-end accommodation on offer.
