Last but not least, staying in a Mauritius villa will make your trip complete. After an exciting day out exploring the island, you can retreat to the cosy home that’s private to your family alone. Watch the kids splashing water in the pool while you lounge on a sunbed, sipping away a refreshing cocktail. You don’t have to worry about queuing at a restaurant, as dinner is being prepared in the kitchen. After dinner, soak in the opulent bathtub to soothe your tired feet and sore muscles. As you retire to a peaceful slumber, you know that you can sleep in tomorrow, as there is no rush to meet breakfast hour. Isn’t this what luxury all about?
