4 good reasons to fly to Mauritius
It's winter and it's almost cold everywhere except on Mauritius, this paradisiac island where joy of life goes with white sandy beach and blue Ocean...
1 - The best place to relax
With its sweet climate from january to december and its heavenly landscapes, we bet that Mauritius was especially created for relaxation... Here, every luxurious hotel or resort features an amazing Spa, most of the time with an original concept and a design fitting in the nature. To discover, the Bubble Lodge with its lodges nestled at the heart of a luxurious vegetation, perfect to fall asleep under the stars. For the bohemian-chic style lovers, the Shangri La Le Touessrok innovates with its private huts on the white sand. Here, a private buttler is ready to help the clients at any time, bringing them some cocktails, fresh fruits and delicious dishes... A dream.
2 - A delicious gastronomy
On the island, every hotel offers an amazing gastronomic experience. For example, the Umami restaurant just opened its doors at the Dinarobin Hotel Golf & Spa. It offers a Japanese gastronomy with South American influences. If you want to try the Hawaii gastronomy, go straight to the Mercado, the restaurant at Mauritius Beach Resort. Finally, you have to try the Ocean One Beach Club & Restaurant, the new trendy place-to-be at the North-East of the Island. Here, you will find a sophisticated menu with seafood and Mauritius specialties as well as some theme buffets in a both chic and casual atmosphere.
3- The place-to-be for golfers
With 8 golf-courses of 18 holes and 3 golf-courses of 9 holes designed by some famous and prestigious golfers in some exotic landscapes, Mauritius is the "Golf Destination of the year" according to the IAGTO (association of golf tour operators). Wether you're a professional or not, there's a course for every level. From January 23rd to January 30th 2017, the 6th Edition of Double Champagne Henriot competition will take place on two prestigious courses, the Paradis Golf Club and the Heritage Golf Club with an housing at the Dinarobin Hotel Golf & Spa from the Beachcomber group.
4- A lot of sports and cultural activities
Mauritius is not only about snorkeling and farniente on the beach. From December 2nd to December 4th, Port-Louis hosted the PORLWI By Light festival with more than 150 artists, activities and performances. On December 3rd and 4th, horses lovers were thrilled to attend the International Jockey's week that was closing the race season on one of the most ancient field of the Southern part of the world.
On March 12th, get ready to celebrate the Island's Independence anniversary in Port-Louis, on the Champ de Mars. Then, from March 25th to April 2nd, join the Bernard Loiseau gastronomic festival to meet International prestigious Chefs, Michelin-starred ones and Chefs from Constance Hotels & Resorts, to taste Indian Ocean specialties.
