Port Louis - With school holidays almost upon us why not escape the winter chill for a sun soaked experience with the entire family in beautiful Mauritius.
From its aquamarine waters, to its bustling markets and culturally diverse inhabitants; the exciting island of Mauritius is a perfect paradise for families looking for a revitalising getaway.
Getting there is easy, thanks to the relaxed visa regulations for South Africans. Contrary to popular belief Mauritius offers the perfect balance of luxury and entertainment for the entire family, with total access to a playground of experiences.
“Mauritius is a mere four or five hour flight away and offers a melting pot of French, Asian and Creole cultures, minus the jetlag that accompanies long-haul destinations,” says marketing manager for Club Med Southern Africa, Lesego Matabane. “In addition, South African’s don’t require a visa to visit Mauritius’ white sandy shores.”
Created more than 8 million years ago by volcanic activity, Mauritius is the second biggest island belonging to the group of islands called the Mascarenes or 'Mascareignes' in French.[i]
