MAURITIUS

If you want a relaxing vacation with a dose of culture, Mauritius could be the place for you. This idyllic Indian Ocean island has idyllic beaches, a handful of things to see and some of the friendliest people on the planet.

Its food is to die for and the hotels in which I stayed were of a very high standard.
