Mauritius Winter Sun Holidays

Mauritius is the classic island getaway, and while its beaches generally need no introduction, we wanted to ensure that reclining on the soft sun-kissed sand is in your Mauritius winter sun agenda. Belle Mare’s fine sands regularly top charts for the best Mauritian beach, with its tropical gardens, turquoise lagoon and thatch-roofed villas, giving it old-island charm. The beach at the foot of Morne Brabant is as beautiful as it is infinite, with the sea of palm trees shaded by the looming rockface of the mountain. Although the beaches are beautiful, the sea may be even more stunning and is brimming with things to do and see. Hop aboard a boat tour of Blue Bay Marine Park, one of the most striking scuba diving spots around the island, and don your snorkel and mask before plunging into the silent underwater coral kingdom. Take in L’ile aux Aigrettes, a nature reserve home to many endemic species, followed by a trip to the Grande Riviere Sud Est with its seemingly endless white-water cascades. Evenings spent in the warm dusk, with a fresh drink in hand as the sunset turns everything a soft shade of mauve, are the best way to round up a Mauritius winter sun holiday.
