Mauritian Beaches Apr 22

Agreed - Mauritian beaches are all breathtaking but there are a few beaches with unique characteristics that will leave you stunned!

Pérébeyre - North of the island - my favorite beach for a velvet sensation of the sand, truly warm sunshine and cool waters. A swim in the lagoon creates the best experience of being on holidays in my opinion! So not to be missed under no excuse if you want to experience the best of all!

Gris Gris - South of the island - breath taking views of the sea crashing against the reefs will certainly leave a stamp on your mind! While you walk down the beach, think of the famous legend of the french guy who lost his dog on this same beach and thus the place was named after the lost dog gris-gris!  And make sure you take some great pics! Ideal for the ones who want something different to blue and calm lagoons!

Choisy - If you want to experience local mauritian culture, try the Choisy beach. Long extent of beach, packed over weekends mainly, will give you an insight of the mauritian cultural vibes with families and friends by the beach. The place is filled with laughter and music, flavours of mauritian cuisine and colours of the mauritian culture! Experience Mauritian culture by the beach!

Horseracing Apr 04

HorseracingEnjoy of the best horse racing experiences in Mauritius at the Champs de Mars horse race track! The horseracing season started today Saturday 4th April and will carry on till Sunday 6th December 2009, so make sure you add a day at the races when you plan your holidays!

Many of the well known Australian jockeys have had a stint in Mauritius. Betting is now based on the Australian betting systems.

No need to be wild on your budget to have great holidays in Mauritius! Apr 02

You may believe that taking a holiday in a faraway place such as Mauritius must cost a small fortune; or, at the very least, that anything affordable would not be up to very good standards. If you have put off planning a trip because of these beliefs, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that not only can a Mauritius vacation fit into your budget, but also that everything you need in order to make your visit the most perfect vacation you have ever had can be the very best without being accompanied by an extreme cost.

For example, depending on your personal needs for accomodations, there are a number of hotels which will provide beautiful suites and all of the amenities that you would expect to only find in a high-priced hotel. Being lower in cost does not mean that they offer anything less than the finest services. You can find hotels which offer such features as a fitness room, sauna, tennis, lovely restaurants with specialty meals, and many other features that you would love to have but may have been afraid that you could not afford.

You can lower the overall cost of your Mauritius vacation considerably if you select a travel package which includes both your flight and your hotel accomodations. When you have taken this first step, you will be pleasantly surprised at exactly how affordable the vacation of your dreams can really be!

When you check into these packages, you will also find that such important “extras” as car rental and numerous activities can all be nicely achieved within your budget. Instead of spending a small fortune on your hotel accomodations and other such necessities, you can have them at a much more reasonable price, which will leave you and your family with more spending money for your entertainment and souvenir-shopping.

There are virtually no negative concerns– unless you count having too many wonderful things to do and exciting things to experience than will fit into your time schedule! The costs, and the standards of the accomodations, however, are very reasonable.

There is a Mauritius vacation travel package available to fit nearly every budget. If you already know all of the experiences and adventures that are waiting for you on the island, you do not need to simply dream about all of the good times you could have on your vacation, you can easily find vacation packages that are much lower than you may have thought, without having to sacrifice the great service and fine quality that you and your family deserve. You can save money and have a wonderful vacation on Mauritius at the same time.
