7 Nights in Mauritius for R9835<\/h1>\n

We\u2019re halfway through 2011 and you can be forgiven for feeling a little frazzled.

Travelstart\u2019s latest special comes at just the right time offering an incredible holiday package to Mauritius<\/strong>. Before I get into the nitty gritty of this special offer; a little about the relief that awaits you in this tropical jewel of the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n

Named after the legendary young couple immortalised in the novel Paul & Virginie<\/em> by Bernardin de St Pierre, this Mauritius hotel<\/strong> is an invitation to a relaxing and romantic break<\/a> from the usual routine. The d\u00e9cor of colonial inspiration sets the scene with a subtle combination of wood, stone and thatch roofs revealing a peaceful haven for couples seeking an unforgettable getaway to this island paradise.<\/p>\n

The hotel is located in the fishing village of Grand Gaube<\/strong> on the North Coast of Mauritius and has direct access to an unspoiled beach 10km away from the relaxed hum of Grand Baie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Paul & Virginie<\/strong> boasts 2 restaurants & bars. Cocktail lovers \u2013 ask your barman to make your personal poison with Green Island Rum<\/strong> (provided it\u2019s a rum based cocktail). Green Island is Mauritius\u2019 locally produced white rum and goes hand in hand with the views from the infinity pool at the Paul & Virginie Hotel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Convinced? Book this Mauritius holiday package<\/a> now.<\/p>\n

Mauritius for South Africans<\/h2>\n

The Indian Ocean Islands are a great destination for South Africans. Mauritius is close enough to home that you won\u2019t be curled up in bed recovering from jet lag<\/a> when you arrive enabling you to enjoy the full extent of your stay. Its charming French Creole culture also makes you feel far enough away that you\u2019ll return with new stories and feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.<\/p>\n

Mauritius is another destination that South Africans don\u2019t need a Visa for<\/a> making your travel to the island considerably less expensive and complicated.<\/p>\n

Grand Baie<\/h3>\n

10km away from your hotel is Grand Baie. I\u2019ve stayed in Grand Baie and it sums up those idyllic impressions of Mauritius you already have \u2013 white sandy beaches, turquoise sea, and boats moored in small bays. Besides the scenery there\u2019s a lot to do in Grand Baie<\/strong> \u2013 it\u2019s slightly more commercialized then what it once was so there\u2019s plenty of shopping and dining out (if you wish to stray from the hotels delectable buffet) by night. Hire a \u2018Mini Moke\u2019 and tour the island on your own or stay at the beach and enjoy a variety of watersports like sailing, diving and snorkeling. If you feel like a break from the sun then I\u2019ve listed some \u2018must sees\u2019 below:<\/p>\n
