Why You Should Visit Mauritius

With white-sand beaches, lush forests, sweeping sugar cane fields and sparkling lagoons, it’s no wonder so many people travel to Mauritius year after year. Better yet, this spectacular island is extremely family-friendly – offering the best landscapes for enjoying the sun, sea and sand, as well as fantastic child-friendly restaurants, and hotels that know how to bring in the fun. Still not convinced? Here’s our reasons why Mauritius is such a hit with families.

If you’re looking for gorgeous sunshine and warm temperatures for your family beach holiday, you’ll have come to the right place. The weather in Mauritius is great all year round, offering pleasant 30 degree sunshine and a nice breeze to keep young children cool. There’s little variation in weather over the months either, apart from a short wet season from January to March – so the island is perfect for summer and Christmas holidays.

As mum and dad soak up the sun and relax with a cocktail, the children will love the hotel’s exciting kid’s clubs. There are plenty of family-friendly hotels in Mauritius that cater for little ones and teenagers, including the gorgeous Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort with its Timomo & Friends club, entertaining  2-11 year olds with fun cultural activities like crab searching, Mauritian games, and creating traditional musical instruments. As for the teens, they won’t complain about horse-riding, mountain biking and the hip beach parties whilst staying here, as well as the Cool Teens Club with game consoles and WiFi – their Facebook status needs to be updated with photos of their exciting activities, duh.

Zilwa Attitude’s kid’s club will get ultimate cool points from the children too, with alluring treasure hunts and fun games on board a beached boat, as well as fascinating glass bottom boat tours and the occasional show. Kids can even eat their meals at the restaurant with one of the club’s Family Members, so you and your partner can enjoy a romantic dinner under the stars in peace.
