In the reserve of Bel Ombre on the southern shores of Mauritius, the Outrigger Mauritius Beach Resort combines relaxation, with family-run, romance and the charm of an early 18th-century Mauritian sugar cane plantation.
We recently visited this beautiful property in paradise, and here are some of the things we loved most about the resort:
The newly built Anantara IKO Mauritius is the latest hotel to enter the Mauritius luxury tourism scene. But this is one hotel that’s doing things a little differently.
Although the hotel boasts the same exquisite scenery, beautiful beaches, and turquoise pools you would expect to see at any good Mauritius hotel, it also has a range of activities on offer (many of which are complimentary) that make it stand out from the crowd.
In an ever-changing world, we all have to adapt. This is especially true of the tourism industry, which has had to fight and struggle to survive. And while challenging as the last few years have been, out from the ashes have come some innovative ideas, unique offerings, and resilient brands.
The Four Seasons Mauritius at Anahita is one of the island’s most luxurious and sought after properties, and with good reason. The island attracts travellers looking for the best of the best, and this it delivers in spades.
We were recently privileged enough to spend a few days exploring this exquisite property as a family, and here are some of the things we loved most about our holiday:

Recently, we decided to get away for a few days at the beautiful Fancourt golf and lifestyle resort in George on South Africa’s Garden Route. While we don’t play golf, we chose Fancourt for the myriad of activities and offerings that it held for our young family.
We were recently lucky enough to spend a few nights exploring the beautiful Muratie Wine Estate just outside of Stellenbosch in the stunning Cape Winelands.
Recently we had the privilege of spending a few nights at Simbavati’s Fynbos on Sea. A new addition to the Simbavati Lodge collection and their only coastal property, Fynbos on Sea, is perched high on the hill above the quiet town of Sedgefield along the Garden Route of South Africa.
The tiny seaside resort of Brenton on Sea is known for its endless stretch of beautiful beach, fabulous sunsets, and the endangered Brenton blue butterfly that can be found nowhere else in the world. It’s a quiet part of the Garden Route that attracts families looking for a relaxing seaside vacation away from the worries of everyday life. more “Views for days at Brenton on Sea”
With the easing of South Africa’s COVID restrictions, we have seen a resurgence of festivals and gatherings, particularly as the weather is warm and we can all enjoy being in the great outdoors. The month of February in particular saw the return of the Constantia Fresh wine festival.
After a tough lockdown in 2020, we were feeling a need to escape and so it came to be that we discovered Treedom Villas & Vardos in Wilderness in August last year. At that stage, the Vardos part of the name was still just a pipe dream, but owners Debbie and Marc had spent a good few years slaving away to create a unique treehouse villa on their natural plot of land in the Garden Route.
