This wonderful Mauritius...

Inspired cuisine, sandy beaches, watersports, golf and tennis – and lovely friendly people. For Select Collection customers Mauritius also means luxurious accommodation and VIP treatment.

I have enjoyed all this and more at Dinarobin and Le Paradis the last few days. Here are a few glimpses of this wonderful life…

Great watersports!

 

Waterskiing at Le Paradis went very well for
me on Friday, although I haven't done it for
years... I will practice a bit more before
publishing any more pix :)

 

Great tennis...

 

...great tennis every day for me
in spectacular surroundings

 

 

Great accommodation! Lots of news in this area as Mauritius is investing more in top luxury accommodation…

Great seafood...

 

 

And great people...

 

One of the reasons we confidently recommend Mauritius for holidays is that we also have such special people looking after you at our hotels. And not only that –  we have Mautourco…

Mautourco are our people on the ground in Mauritius, who arrange all the transfers, VIP welcomes, and extra tours if you wish. They also help you if you have any problems. I always meet  with our vital contacts when I travel…with these wonderful people on Mauritius it is only a pleasure...

Loving Laamu…

 

In this paradise at Laamu we get the best of both worlds. On the sunrise side of the pier, we get glorious sunny mornings to lure me out of bed to do yoga on the terrace. But we also see the sunset from the roof of our ocean water villa, which lies at the end of a long pier over the lagoon.

The long jetties threading over turquoise water invite walks of dazzling beauty. We love cycling on the jetties and round the small island, especially in the evening after a glass of wine. This island is only 750 metres long  and 200 wide, with some nice paths.

Biking is lots of fun especially
after a glass of wine



Being active is part of the sensational experience of Six Senses Laamu. Snorkling, diving, water skiing, kite surfing and even surfing the big wave off a distant reef. Jonathan, the Life Manager keeps everyone busy with sporty things to do as well as excursions and romantic sand bank dinners.

Jonathan knows how to keep
us active and happy

 

Perfect place to take a PADI license...at Laamu
you can get your certificate in only 3-5 days
depending on your skills

 

And in the afterglow of exercise, the laid back feel of this island is all the more alluring.

Beauty is found in unexpected places – because it is everywhere at Six Senses Laamu...




The Ladies room at Laamu is a pleasure to visit
