Overview

With the experience of family holidays at sister hotels in Mauritius and Tunisia, guests travelling with children can relax safe in the knowledge that they will be well looked after. An ideal holiday for those seeking a more ‘exotic’ location than other Indian Ocean destinations, perhaps with older children (due to non-direct flights and the islands malarial status).
