6-Night Island Vacation on Mauritius with 4-Star Hotel

A small tropical-island country in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is often overshadowed by its neighbor, Madagascar. But its uncrowded white-sand beaches and laid-back attitude make it a hidden gem. With this stay, you can spend your days on the hotel’s beach while enjoying local cuisine, traditional dances, and an outdoor movie theater—all without leaving the soft sand. This vacation includes:

• Round-trip airfare from New York City (JFK)
• 6 nights of standard accommodations in a superior sea-view room with two twin beds at the 4-star Hotel Zilwa Attitude in Mauritius
• Daily breakfast
• Daily dinner
• Round-trip airport transfers
• Taxes and fuel surcharges

Mauritius

Located about 700 miles east of Madagascar, this island is guided by the adage, “No problem in Mauritius.” If its beaches don’t prove the saying for you, try kayaking, windsurfing, and snorkeling through its surrounding clear waters, which hover around 78 degrees. Your home base, the 4-star Hotel Zilwa Attitude, offers all of these activities and more from its sandy outpost on the northern coast.

The entire country is only about half the size of Rhode Island, so you’re not far from any attraction. The Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Gardens showcases colorful birds, royal palms, and giant Victoria amazonica water lilies. A short walk from here is the L’Aventure du Sucre Museum, housed inside a former sugar factory. Tour the museum to learn about Mauritius’s sugar industry and rum trade before sampling 15 varieties of unrefined sugar.

There are plenty of other things to do, even if you never leave the hotel’s property. Its offerings include:

• Try dholl puris, traditional pancakes filled with curry or chutney, served at the on-beach Lor Disab restaurant. The hotel’s five other restaurants serve Creole, Indian, European, and Asian cuisines.
• Stay active: Go stand-up paddleboarding, play beach volleyball, and sail the seas in a glass-bottom boat, just a few of the many free activities offered.
• Go for a swim in one of four pools, including an infinity pool and a kid-friendly pool.
• Seaside bungalows Guest rooms come with thatched roofs and either a balcony or terrace, where you can enjoy views of the Indian Sea. 
• In-room amenities: Amid your room’s driftwood mirrors, coconut-fiber carpets, and screens made by local artisans, you’ll find complimentary flip flops for exploring the island in style.
• Watch a movie on the beach while kicking back in a lounge chair at the casual outdoor theater.
• See a local dance performance: Performed here around a fire on the beach, the Sega is performed to folk music to express joy and transcend hardships.
• Get a massage on a private island: The resort has access to a private island, where you can get a massage amid volcanic rocks and quiet shores.
