Trou Aux Biches Hotel Is Mauritius's New Luxury Resort

by Dipika Patel

If you've been dreaming about jetting off to a paradise island then you might be interested to hear that a new hotel has opened in Mauritius.

A holiday on the island means mornings lying on palm-fringed beaches, afternoons bathing in the sea and evenings having candlelit dinners in secluded restaurants and if you're looking for all of these things then the isle's new Trou Aux Biches Hotel & Spa could be the place to stay.

Located in the north-west of the island, it is near to the traditional Mauritian village of Grand Baie - a perfect place to pick up the local atmosphere and immerse yourself in the culture of the island.

But if you want a chance to escape from it all, then at Trou Aux Biches you'll be able to stay in private wooden chalets or opt for large two and three-bedroom villas. As the rooms are located directly on the beach, you are never too far away from silky soft sands.

Indeed, this is a great destination for loved-up couples to go for long romantic walks on the beach holding hands and sitting under palm trees gazing into each other's eyes, which is why Mauritius has grown in popularity among brides and grooms and newlyweds.

Here, they get to take a break from the normal stresses of wedding preparation and simply enjoy being alone with one another. They can relax on the island's quiet beaches or go for a splash in the sea with its vast marine life.

If you want to see more of Mauritius's wildlife, there are a number of snorkelling and scuba diving trips available, where you can swim with moray eels and giant turtles, as well as a whole selection of multicoloured fish. There are even night diving and honeymoon diving excursions for those who want a new experience when submerging themselves within its crystal clear waters.

Alternatively, you could opt for a submarine safari, which will most likely be a trip you've not done before. Or you could try some of the other water sports activities, such as jet skiing and water skiing.

If you are keen on keeping active when on holiday in Mauritius, you might want to explore the tropical gardens that surround Trou Aux Biches. Or, for those looking for something further afield, you could walk around the island's luscious forests filled with fruit trees and brightly-coloured flowers.

Labourdonnais Orchards is a popular destination and visitors can go on hikes or try mountain biking around the area to have a closer look at Mauritian vegetation. Or, you could journey further inland to see its varying landscape. Here, you can look at extinct volcanoes, natural lakes, as well as national parks.

In the evening, you can enjoy pampering yourself with special fine dining experiences when you head out to one of the hotel's six restaurants - Blue Ginger, La Caravelle, L'Oasis, Il Corallo, Le Deck and Mahiya. Couples can have quiet romantic meals eating dishes from all around the world, such as the Mediterranean and Asia. Or, if you want to try Mauritian food, you could sample some of the island's traditional cuisine.

There is plenty to do in Mauritius for families as well and Trou Aux Biches provides well for children and groups of more than two people. You might want to stay in some of its larger villas - which come with their own pools - and enjoy the use of its kids and teens clubs.

At Trou Aux Biches, there is something for everyone to enjoy, whether you're planning to propose, you've just got married or you want to bring your children to enjoy this stunning paradise island.
