If you want a beach holiday that simply works, Mauritius is it. It's visa-free for Botswana, South African and Namibian passports, a manageable flight via Johannesburg, and built around resorts that do all-inclusive properly.

The island has distinct coasts — lively Grand Baie in the north, the dramatic Le Morne peninsula in the south-west — and we'll steer you to the side and the resort that match your trip, whether that's a honeymoon suite or a family room near a great kids' club.

Outside the resort there's more than enough: the Seven Coloured Earths, Black River Gorges, catamaran days to Île aux Cerfs, and Port Louis market. We pre-book the worthwhile bits and let you laze through the rest.

Highlights

  • All-inclusive resorts with honeymoon perks
  • Warm, swimmable lagoons most of the year
  • Île aux Cerfs catamaran days
  • Chamarel Seven Coloured Earths and Black River Gorges
