Why go to Mauritius?
Check weather /Air Mauritius/hotels at www.maurinet.com or www.ercoli.com
- Fascinating island - scenically varied and beautiful with a real mix of cultures - big French influence.
- Lots to do and see: feels exotic with white sand beaches, clear, warm Indian Ocean.
- Great Creole cuisine.
- Very high quality hotels with plenty of facilities for children yet no compromise on adult appeal.
- No charter flights: there's a definite emphasis on quality tourism.
- Time difference is +GMT - which minimises jet lag
Think about:
- Flight time: around 12 hours, although flights are at night which helps. Book a skycot if you can.
- High quality tourism means most things are relatively expensive.
- Fewer free night/child free deals than Caribbean.
