Drift Away to the Tropics
WITH PRESKIL ISLAND RESORT
Dreaming about a tropical island paradise?
How about a holiday in Mauritius?
With its dazzling alabaster beaches and transparent turquoise
lagoons, Mauritius is fast becoming a popular alternative to
the Seychelles. To the east of Madagascar in the midst of the
Indian Ocean, this volcanic island nation is utterly brimming with
authenticity and a delightfully laid-back spirit.
Preskil Island Resort lies on the south-east of the island within the
small fisherman’s village of Pointe-Jérôme.
This luxurious four-star resort is as equally accommodating for
couples as it is for families, and you’ll always find tranquillity here,
especially with an idyllic day soaking up the sun on the wide white
sands or hanging around the infinity pool.
Right from the private sparkling beach you’ll find a
calm shallow shore. This opens out into a treasure
chest of coral gardens that you can discover while
snorkelling or with other resort watersports.
Recently refurbished, Preskil Island Resort is chic yet understated,
with a style that reflects its traditional roots, from the Creole-inspired
architecture of thatched roofs to the delightfully tropical gardens.
All the rooms are decorated with cool tones of white, teak, and
marble. You can select from a garden view room or a sea view room
that looks out across the lagoon and over neighbouring islands. Or
you may opt for the authentically Mauritian styled Junior Suites.
Choose to go half-board or all-inclusive - either way you can feast
on a range of culinary treats that showcase international dishes
with their daily changing menus.
You’ll find laid-back vibes at the beach bar and buffet restaurant,
Rendez-vous, delicious Mediterranean cuisine, meze and Arabianspiced
tagines at Mosaic, or fusion Mauritian flavours and
speciality seafood at the a la carte restaurant, 1810.
If you’re seeking an intimate holiday then you
can experience a sunset cruise on a catamaran
or escape to the serene Banyan Spa for a
couple's signature massage, hammam, or holistic
gemology treatment, before cherishing a romantic
private dinner under the stars.
Bringing children? They will be happy with the resort’s extensive
Tikoulou kids’ club, which boasts a range of cultural and waterbased
activities for all ages. Plus, you can all stay in the perfectlyappointed
two-bedroom suites that accommodate up to three
children under 18.
You choose if you want your evening to be low-key or lively, as each
night there’s live entertainment, cultural shows, and dancing to
enjoy.
Despite feeling like a perfect bubble paradise that’s miles from
anywhere, Preskil Island Resort is located a 20-minute drive from
the international airport and close to the culturally-rich and historic
village of Mahébourg. It’s also perfectly positioned to see many of
Mauritius’s top attractions, such as Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth
Geopark or a boat trip to witness the famous Crystal Rock, should
you wish to explore further.
A 10 night holiday in Mauritius, staying at Preskil Island Resort, starts from £1,769 per person.
