The best way to avoid the old ‘Will it? Won’t it?’ UK rain debate is to jet off on your jollies for a couple of weeks and experience some tropical sunshine.

One of our favourites is the Asara Villa and Suite Hotel, which boasts a five star rating and a convenient location. Boasting an exclusive private beach, it’s the perfect place for relaxing and taking a break from modern life.
Mauritius, Indian Ocean
Located around 1,100km off the coast of Madagascar, Mauritius is an island paradise that enjoys warm to hot temperatures throughout the year. Due to its mountainous terrain, Mauritius has a natural beauty that’s unrivalled by any other island in the Indian Ocean, and the island’s mountain ranges slope to white sands into the sea.
The island’s turquoise lagoons are protected from the ocean by the world’s third largest coral reef, which surrounds Mauritius. They’re perfect for snorkelling and discovering some colourful sea creatures, as well as partaking in a wide variety of watersports for the brave! The beaches themselves are perfect for topping up your tan, and the sugar white sand with palm fringed seas make for some amazing photo opportunities – no filter required.
One of our favourite 5 star hotels in Mauritius has to be the incredible Outrigger Mauritius Resort. This stunning hotel is perfect for the whole family, and features some of the best restaurants on the island, catering to a wide range of tastes and specialities. Each room features a private balcony or garden among other luxury amenities for you to enjoy.
