Whispering fields of sugar cane sway behind the palm-fringed beach of the Outrigger Mauritius Beach Resort, in Bel Ombre, a stunning 5-star retreat on the peaceful south coast of Mauritius.

Saga guests on this Stay & Relax holiday enjoy colonial splendour in villa-style accommodation with rooms overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Swimming, snorkelling and sailing are the order of the day at this impressive resort which has four pools, a spa, tennis courts and an 18-hole championship golf course (extra charge).

Saga’s all-inclusive package features a free 12-hour bar, fruit and water in room on arrival and full-board buffet meals. Local and international dishes can be cooked to order in the Mercado restaurant and guests can also eat beachside and poolside or sample fruits de mer in the rum and crab shack.

At the Bar Bleu, evening musical entertainment includes jazz, creole, tropical, chill-out and traditional local music or guests can simply relax with a drink under the stars.

From Outrigger Mauritius it is easy to explore the unspoilt coastline, mountains and forest. Two tours to the south of the island are included in the price and there are several optional excursions including a catamaran adventure, sailing on sea breezes to Coconut Island to swim and snorkel in the shimmering, turquoise waters.

A Robinson Crusoe Island tour offers guests a day on desert island – the ultimate castaway fantasy without being marooned! The Ile des Deux Cocos is an islet in the midst of Blue Bay Maritime National Park, a little piece of paradise on the south east of the island.

A sunset cruise along the west coast is another option to enjoy views of the Rempart Mountains and the Black River Range.
