The Residence Mauritius

Overview

This mega-luxurious hotel is located right on the beachfront (already a winner) and has a whole load of unique activities for the whole family. We're talking cooking classes, horse riding, water sports and the old reliable game of volleyball down on the beach. And if you'd rather just sit back, relax and soak it all in, there's a lagoon-style pool area and a Spa for that, too.
