Imagine it… crystal clear, sparkling blue water, inviting you to the shores edge and tempting enough for one not to be able to resist taking that long awaited dip in the cool. At your disposal, loungers, waiting for you to unwrap the sarong that keeps your untanned skin hidden, as it yearns for the heat of the sun to be on it. And when you do lie down on that lounger, all worries and concerns suddenly seem a thing of the past. With not a worry in the world, you sip loving on that sweet and tangy cocktail delivered to your side. Sunglasses on, you look into the distance of that sparkling water and lying back, you relax.
Sound like paradise? Well, that’s because Mauritius looks like paradise – it is a perfectly formed Indian Ocean gem. You have just experienced walking across its pristine white beaches. You are gazing into the stunningly picturesque turquoise waters. If you’re not careful, you’ll float away in them. Take every opportunity to laze under the lush coconut palms, relish the shade they have to offer and take in the beauty of each one. Looking around you, you’ll see the bougainvillea in beautiful bright bloom, just try take your eyes from these beautiful flowers! The coral reefs make for perfect snorkelling, or take a walk through the cool green forests. But perhaps the best to be would lying on the lounger and watching the shimmering horizons whilst sipping a sundowner – there is no better picture for a holiday.
But not only does Mauritius look like paradise – it feels like paradise! If you think that lazing about is all you have to do on this island, think again because you are seriously mistaken. Sure you can laze about on the beach all day if you so choose, but there are plenty other activities. Explore the underwater wonderlands, and wonderlands they are! Keen to get a view above land? Take in a parasailing trip. Fancy a bit of an adrenalin rush? Go for a water-skiing experience of a lifetime! If you’re in a group of friends, take part in some land sports – or you can enjoy these on your own. And if you’re not into the action part of things, but you really don’t want to just spend your time lazing on the beach, treat yourself to world-class health and beauty facilities. Rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit, so you really can just lie back and relax.
By now, you surely have a great appetite worked up? Want to taste paradise? Try some of the cosmopolitan dishes, sprinkled with Creole, Chinese, French, British and Indian flavours. Get that appetite worked up by indulging in exotic Eastern spices. Don’t fool yourself with the gastronomic European masterpieces – by no manner or means an illusion. Alternatively, taste mouth-watering local cuisine.
If this all sounds like paradise, then you really need to take in the sounds of paradise. The rich melting-pot of voices and traditions is an experience all of it’s own you don’t want to miss! The Jardin Botanique de Pamplemousses, the Coloured Earths of Chamarel, the Bird Garden of Casela and Ile aux Cerfs, and some of the many attractions visitors should simply not pass up the opportunity of visiting. If you would like to visit markets to get presents for loved ones back home, then try shop in Grand Baie, or go market-style or fashionista-style… all available for you to choose from!
If by now you’re thinking this all sounds far too close to paradise for me to give up this opportunity, then you’re right. If Mauritius looks, feels, tastes, and sounds like paradise, it’s more than likely because this island is pure paradise. There are also a huge selection of hotels and resorts you can choose from, but book early as this paradise island is everything and more you have ever dreamed of!!!
