| Pamplemousses Botanical
Garden, Mauritius |
Mauritius is the island for sun worshippers. White sand
beaches that seem to stretch for miles, friendly smiles wherever you go
and a climate that, virtually year round, is almost unbeatable. In some
hotels the rooms are so large they feel like suites. The watersports on
offer are many and varied.
Please ask if the property you require is not
featured. Mauritius and Réunion
two–centre holidays are a speciality of ours. |
