Wellness in Mauritius

Seven Days in a Private Villa

You'll arrive in Flic-en-Flac, on the west coast of Mauritius in a delightfully luxurious hotel. All of the villas have a small private swimming pool. Our chosen villa is in a traditional style and is buried amongst tropical plants. The decor is elegant throughout the bedroom, living room and shady terrace. Enjoy beautiful sunsets over the ocean at dusk and settle into the slower pace of island life. The only difficulty you'll face is deciding where to go for a lovely dinner, whether it's Mediterranean cuisine, modern Indian cuisine, teppanyaki or traditional Creole, the chefs and their teams demonstrate exceptional skill. Or maybe it's the spa that will please the most. The facilities are lovely, and the treatments available will help you totally relax. Ayurvedic and Western techniques combine to restore a physical and mental balance.

Included in the itinerary

Firstly, we have included a one-and-a-half-hour treatment in the itinerary. Feel your tension melt away as you enjoy this relaxing and healing massage. A picnic is also planned. Beyond your traditional picnic in the park, this gourmet feast will be enjoyed on the sandy shores of the Indian Ocean

Mauritius West Coast

Le Morne Brabant, a large, natural and historic Mauritian site, is visible from the sea. From your nautical base, it's easy to sail to by canoe, light catamaran, windsurf, and even by pedalo. During diving or snorkelling trips on the coral reefs, lionfish, angelfish, groupers, carangues, squirrelfish, and barracudas pass in front of your masks, and corals display their stunning colours. On land, you'll discover the Black River Gorges National Park. Visitors are able to hike along about 40 miles of trails. The island's famous dodo disappeared a long time ago, but the local avifauna is still rich and the white-tailed tropicbird, pink pigeon, and Mauritius bulbul make for beautiful encounters. Chamarel's volcanic ash dunes, which range from dark brown to pink, are a rare, geological curiosity. In the same area, the salty waters of the Saint-Denis and Viande rivers fall from a height of 330ft; if you combine this with the vegetation it makes for a splendid tropical painting. Nature here is dotted with lovely surprises, colonial houses and rum bars. In the capital Port Louis, the diversity of the Mauritian people and the island's history is reflected in the colours, sounds, flavours, and attitudes. Read more
