With its turquoise seas and blue lagoons, its endless beaches of soft, white sand fringed with palm trees, and wonderful sunshine, the enchanting island of Mauritius provides that perfect dream island location for a winter getaway. From the variety of top shops and excellent nightlife of Grand Bay, to the peace and tranquillity of The Labourdonnais Orchards, Mauritius suits all tastes and holiday moods.
There are colourful outdoor markets, such as Flacq Market, where you can buy delicious fresh fruit and vegetables, see amazing locally caught fish, and bright local textiles such as clothing, baskets and hats.
Mauritius offers an impressive variety of water sports, from gentle rides in pedal boats and kayaks, to the more adventurous windsurfing, water skiing, and utterly thrilling speedboat rides. There is even a Waterpark Leisure Village where you can ride down giant water chutes. If you are a fan of fishing, then you can try out some of the deep sea fishing that Mauritius has to offer.
If you go snorkelling, scuba diving, or go on a sea trip in one of the many glass bottom boats, you will see the most spectacular sea life, such as the fascinating coral beds, sparkling fish all colours of the rainbow, moray eels, and turtles swimming along who may well be older than any of the people gazing at them.
An essential part of any holiday is good food, and the delicious cuisine of Mauritius combines Chinese, European and Indian influences. If you enjoy a drop of rum then you will find some good ones to sample here, as sugarcane was introduced to the island by the Dutch, and rum is one of the traditional drinks produced on the island.
So if you are looking for glorious weather and a beautiful island retreat when northern Europe is in the grips of winter, Mauritius is the place to head for.
