When was the last time you took a few hours to focus solely on yourself? 2014 is shaping up to be the year of the wellness holiday, so if you’re in need of a mind and body tune-up, it’s time to book yourself a date at one of the many luxury hotel spas on Mauritius.

Creating the perfect spa is all about striking the right balance between design, ambience, treatments and service – and it’s a skill we’ve mastered in Mauritius.  For a dose of inspiration, have a browse through some of our favourite sanctuaries, and see why we’re considered one of the top spa destinations in the world.
