Trou aux Biches is one of the most romantic spots on the island of Mauritius. It is also one of the best dive bases on the entire north coast – take the plunge and you’ll find yourself in crystal waters surrounded by a multitude of bizarrely-shaped and rainbow-coloured sea creatures. Snorkel across the surface, or even take a trip in a glass-bottomed boat, and the undersea world will be revealed.

But life beneath the sea isn’t the only reason for choosing Trou aux Biches on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Mauritius. The hotel itself is a high point of style and beachside luxury. Its villas have their own pools. The beach is flawless and lined with whispering palm trees. The food is impeccable, the spa irresistible, the amenities world class.
