Our specialists say:
This topical island retreat offers serenity and jaw-dropping beauty for all the family
From sparkling turquoise waters and white sandy beaches to rugged mountain peaks and incredible natural wonders. Experience the genuine hospitality of its people as Mauritius inspires you to slow down and simply go with the island flow.
Summer holidays with an eight- and ten-year-old is quite literally an island breeze with this itinerary, made for a family seeking romance, relaxation and a touch of adventure.
With seven nights at The Residence, on Belle Mare beachfront of East Coast Mauritius, you can explore stunning coves, sparkling lagoons and spectacular dive sites with the kids, if you can drag them away from the Planters Kids Club. The glass-bottom boat trip and snorkelling with your young ones will give you memories that’ll last forever.
