INDIAN OCEAN MAURITIUS DESTINATIONS


this white-sand island has buckets of charm, and a gentle amble was rewarded with plenty of secluded spots. Clear turquoise water curves round a couple of small restaurants and craft shops selling dodo-themed goods. Here you can spot bright


parachutes mushrooming behind parasailers on the horizon, families dancing to plinking home-made


instruments, dusty red hammocks fluttering between pine trunks and people cooking freshly caught fish on smoky pyres. Whether you’re mellowing under a tree, enjoying a slow round of golf or snorkelling in search of ghost fish, this wonderful little island off an island has an awful lot going for it and rewards its visitors.
