When many people think of luxury, they think of the Maldives and French Polynesia as the islands are accompanied by white sandy beaches, palm trees and a wide range of marine life. But! Also in the Indian Ocean is the island of Mauritius. Cheaper, Bigger, but just as luxurious. 

Mauritius is mountainous towards the centre, with incredible views of the gorges and green peaks of the island's mountains. Mauritius is just over 2000 square kilometres with a population of around 1.26 million people, with around a direct 12-hour flight time. Mauritius is a great alternative to places such as the Maldives or Thailand.

Hi, I’m Owen and I am the creator of this Travel Blog. Together with my girlfriend (Ellie), we try to travel the world whilst working a full-time job, exploring countries on week-long holidays or weekend city breaks. Like many we have a bucket list of places to go and experiences to enjoy, from budget-friendly holidays, saving with air miles and Avios to saving for fancy hotels, or just exploring what there is to do around us, we thought we would share our travel tips, places we stay and where we think you should go. There is a lot to do around the world and we’re here to talk about them.
