Treasure island
Mauritius
Nobody would blame you if you returned from Mauritius with nothing more than a suntan, a smile and tales of cobalt-blue seas. Scratch below the surface, though, and you’ll uncover Creole estates, rousing séga beats and the odd pink pigeon.

Gaze back at Le Morne and the ‘clam’ rock from Île aux Bénitiers

‘Mauritius was made first and then heaven, heaven being copied after Mauritius’ wrote Mark Twain. Luckily, heaven is pretty accessible: the Oberoi, set in 20 acres of bay-view tropical gardens, is most divine. Romance is obligatory at palm-shaded spa stay Constance Le Prince Maurice and at secluded water’s edge charmer, 20 Degres Sud.

There’s no questioning the beauty of its beaches, but beyond the pristine shores, Mauritius is a rugged natural playground. Hike in the forests of Black River Gorges National Park and you might spot wild boar, macaques and rare parakeets.
Paradise doesn’t have off-days: Mauritius is an all-year stunner. The most popular months are from May until December when the weather is sunny and dry, with welcome sea breezes.
