Mauritius is heaven for active families. This pocket-sized tropical paradise offers an incredible amount to do, from island-hopping and hikes in forested nature reserves to whale watching, electric-bike rides in the highlands and wildlife safaris in eco-parks. Overnight flights, and short travel distances, mean children can be snorkelling from a sun-soaked beach by mid-morning. Some island hotels have fabulous facilities for families, from family rooms to multi-bedroom pool villas, and perks of baby clubs, mini-buffets and the gamut of complimentary watersports.
Kids’ clubs keep children happy with crab hunts, creole lessons and cinema on the beach, while teenagers get kitesurfing, diving and golf lessons, bike tours and beach barbecues. They can even try flyboarding, the latest adrenalin-pumping craze. Perhaps best of all, family holidays here are affordable – Mauritius has some of the best-value deals in the region – especially in our summer. Here’s our pick of the best family-friendly hotels in Mauritius.
