A Luxury Escape to Mauritius

With white powdery sand beaches met by so many shades of blue from the glimmering ocean waters, lined by palms that reach for the skies, it’s no wonder that most people consider the island of Mauritius a slice of heaven on earth. When you’re planning a luxurious stay in Mauritius, you’re going to be spoilt for choice (pun intended). From accommodation to dining to activities, a holiday in Mauritius can truly be unique.

For a place of stay, you could either choose some of the luxurious brands associated with five-star facilities, or you could choose based on specific facilities offered by the resorts. For example, a stay in overwater villas will leave you whispering sweet nothings into the ocean that surrounds you from (nearly) all sides. Or for a relaxing day outdoors, you could opt for a resort that chauffeurs you in a magnificent Rolls Royce for a picnic on the beach with champagne.  Or maybe you just want a room with panoramic French windows on with mesmerizing views of the ocean. There’s always enough to choose from, in Mauritius.

But if you’re looking for opulence in more than just the place of stay, here are a few things you could do to drizzle some luxury over your travel to Mauritius:

  1. Private yacht cruise

If you’ve dreamed of being at sea in your own boat, then a private motor yacht will probably appeal to you. Rent a yacht all for yourself and your partner either for a few hours to catch a beautiful sunset, or stay on board overnight to experience the calm waters of the Indian Ocean at night.

  1. Betting on a race horse

Nothing says aristocracy more than wagering on horse racing. Home to the world’s second oldest racecourse, Mauritius is perfect for a bit of betting at the Champ de Mars. Don your best attire (ladies, don’t forget the elaborate hats!) and head to the arena for your dose of adrenaline as handsome horses race to the end.

  1. Private snorkeling excursions

Don’t you hate it when you’re all geared up for snorkeling but have to wait in a queue for your turn? Those beautiful reefs and the fantastic life underwater should be seen at a leisurely pace without worrying about the next person waiting for their turn. Pamper yourself with a private snorkeling experience and you won’t regret it.

  1. Helicopter Tour

When you go on a helicopter ride in Mauritius, prepare to soak in the aerial views of the breath-taking blonde beaches, the serene ocean waters, thick forest greens, rugged mountain peaks and even some of the country’s volcanic craters.

 

Some of the world’s best golf courses, the most fascinating wellness spas and gourmet dining can all be added to the list of luxurious activities on this island. So, you see, there simply is no dearth to the kind of grandeur that you could add to a Mauritius holiday. Pick the one that best suits your pocket and pamper your partner (or yourself) to the best that this island gem can offer.
