It's name alone conjures up images of azur blue seas, white sandy beaches and tropical luxury. In recent years, Mauritius has become synonymous with excptional spa resorts and first class golf courses.

Most people say that its single biggest asset is the relaxed charm of its warm and welcoming people. We agree, but there are many further ingedients that make Mauritius so special. Particularly, some of the world's best spa hotels and some outstanding golf courses too. Plus, in this tough economic climate, there are lots of excellent deals on offer for much of the year - please ask us!

In recent years, Mauritius has become synonymous with sunshine, luxury and excptional spa resorts. Golf, it seems, is now part of this mix - as one half of many couples prefers the greens to a full day in the spa. The island is also loaded with historic sights, cultural diversity, geographic variation and numerous activities to wrench you or your other half away from the onerous daily exertions of beach and pool.

We've played most of the courses, visited all the best spas and hotels, and would be very happy to share our knowledge with you to create the perfect holiday for you. Mauritius is not just a romantic hideaway, it's also perfect for family holidays too. And, being almost due south of Europe, is on pretty much the same time zone. So, little or no jet lag.
