The Art of Enjoying a Smart Vacation in Mauritius

Mauritius: One island, many wonders

The island nation of Mauritius rakes in popularity for a number of reasons. Different strokes for different folks for obvious reasons, but the bottom-line remains the same. Some want to dive in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean while some feel pumped up skiing on its waters at great speed. For every adrenaline junkie that wants to sky-dive over the blue expanse, there are those that long to de-stress and detoxify with relaxing spa treatments. That escalated quite easily, but I’m sure you can see a pattern here. Conferred with several awards, Mauritius is an extremely popular destination for all sorts of travellers.

Throw your feet and holiday in complete peace

Of course vacations are meant to be relaxing and a chance to unwind from the usual grind that life deals us. But vacations can also turn sour if you encounter unpleasant and undesirable situations, if you know what I mean. That noisy fellow tourist’s son, the overcrowded pool, the slurring drunk at the bar…just the stuff that can ruin a perfect holiday. I don’t even want to think of being in the shoes of the person facing such odds. And in Mauritius, of all places! So here’s what you should do if you really want to have the perfect holiday in absolute peace – book a beach villa in Mauritius.


Why a villa: The argument

Here’s why luxury villas in Mauritius score higher on my cards than those charming hotels. I always travel with my family, and being someone who likes to spend quality time with them in peace, the exclusiveness of an entire property works for me. The kids get to play freely without me having to look out for them and I can lounge at my own private pool with an amazing view of the ocean up front. Don’t think anything can top that, especially if you’re travelling with your family.

Mauritius makes for the Perfect holiday destination!

Why holiday in the island of Mauritius?

The sun, the sand and the surf – the three ‘S’ that can make your stay in Mauritius one of the best vacations you've ever had. Now you’d say a lot of beach holiday destinations can offer the same experience. Well, not the kind you can have in Mauritius though! Because in Mauritius you can have your own private beach holiday far from the hustle and bustle that a commercial destination brings along. For here in this surreally beautiful tropical island nation, gorgeous private beach villas are as much popular as its cultural diversity, amazing landscape and aquatic sports.


Beach villas: Luxury, comfort, fun et al

Here’s what makes a private beach villa in Mauritius such a popular choice among travelers. First of all they are private and exclusive, which means you can enjoy your holiday peacefully far from noise and crowd. Secondly you have the whole beach to you. So it’s like fun and frolic in wild abandonment for your family. Or if you want a slightly bigger gang, bring your friend’s family along too, for these villas are big enough for more than one family. Let’s not forget the luxurious treatment while we’re about it. All of these villas have fully equipped kitchens, fridge, microwave, washing machine, TV, internet/WiFi, private pool, private parking, etc. What’s more?  They even offer maids, babysitters and gardeners. Now is that luxury or is that luxury?


Villas to look for in Mauritius

Although most of the luxury villas in Mauritius are located on the beaches on the East Coast, the North Coast and the South-East Coast have their fair share of villas as well. Villa Lear is a popular resort in the East Coast while Villa Harmonie of North Coast has quite a few rave reviews from visitors. But whatever the differences in the settings, fun is common among all as you can snorkel, kite-surf, swim or even bike on the beach in complete freedom.
