Three reasons why Mauritius is still a popular holiday destination

The first month of 2018 is nearly over and by now you probably feel that another vacation is needed.

Choosing a holiday destination to visit is tough. With so many options and places to explore around the world, you may feel bogged down when making a decision on where to visit.

However, if you are looking for a vacation where you can enjoy the sunshine, white-sand beaches, and exotic cuisine, then the island of Mauritius may just be an option for you and your family.

The Indian Ocean island is filled with plenty to do, so getting bored is definitely not something to be concerned about while visiting the island. With world class shopping, authentic cuisine, various cultures, and great entertainment, you’ll never want to return home.

Here are three reasons why Mauritius is popular amongst holiday-goers:

The warm temperatures

If you’re someone who hates the cold and loves soaking up some sun, Mauritius is the place to visit. Temperatures are great all-year round and the climate offers a refreshing breeze to keep you cool while you sip a delicious cocktail (or cooldrink) on a white-sand beach. The wet season occurs during January to March, but other than that, it’s a tourist’s dream for its warm weather.

Being child-friendly

Mauritius offers many family-friendly hotels which cater for the young and old. Apart from gaming, mountain biking, and horse-riding, the kids will never complain about being bored while mum and dad enjoy a day out shopping and exploring the island.

Watersports

It’s impossible to visit Mauritius and not explore the beautiful ocean. There are numerous water sports to keep both young and old entertained. Put on your goggles and explore the Indian Ocean like you’ve never seen it before. If you’re brave enough, there are options to dive and even snorkel in the crystal-clear ocean while you look for Nemo and his friends lurking beneath you.

It’s no wonder that the island of Mauritius is one of Pentravel’s most popular destinations annually amongst South Africans. It’s just a four-hour flight away and has a two-hour time difference, so adjusting won’t be difficult.
