O Mauritius!

Choosing the destination

So there I was, fleeting feverishly through a barrage of travel review websites trying to select a destination that could go with the time and money I had docked up. Planning a trip has never been one of my strong areas. It’s like I want to see everything in one go. Then there are places that you want to revisit again and again. You get to travel so not often and when you do, there’s just one place you can visit. Heavy with grief and yet excited, I put a lid on the histrionics and get down to finalising. What am I looking at? Affordability, comfort, a quiet time with the family and a healing treatment! What do I choose? Mauritius, a tropical island in the Indian Ocean that apparently revitalizes you completely!


The Mauritian holiday

Clear blue waters, white sandy beaches and a thriving flora and fauna are the highlights of Mauritius. No sooner you land here you find the joie de vivre that you had been missing so badly. Being a popular tourist destination, Mauritius can be crowded with visitors, especially during the peak season between September and January. As I was looking at some quiet time away from the crowd, I booked a villa in Mauritius. Villa Lear it’s called and comes with a fully equipped kitchen, fridge, washing machine, LCD TV, private pool and internet. We even had a maid to take care of the dishes and washing.


Explore more, learn more

It’s amazing what you get to learn the more you explore, and boy did we explore! In between boat excursions, snorkelling, swimming and simply walking around to soak in the flavour, we got to know that there are bungalows in Mauritius as staying options too. Offering almost the same facilities and comfort, these bungalows are a good option if it’s just you and your partner seeking for some time in the seclusion – and not requiring the spread of options in the form of more numbers of rooms as that of a villa.

Bungalow or a villa, whatever that you may deem fit, i would only suggest that you book in advance - or for an off-season trip – to enjoy the choicest lodging opportunity during your stay in Mauritius.
