Mauritius is a Paradise only 4 hours away with swaying palm trees, tropical blue waters and soft white sand, who wouldn’t want to experience such a magnificent island. I was privileged enough to travel to Mauritius where I visited few resorts from 3 Star basic resorts to 5 Star luxury across the North, South, West and East of the Island, each resort offering its own personal touch and taste.
