Idyllic Mauritius stay at a luxury beach resort

• Infinity pool: The serene Anelia Resort & Spa is a dreamy retreat nestled on pristine Dolphin's Bay on the island's western coast. A series of rustic, wood-clad buildings blends in beautifully with the neatly landscaped surrounds, while swaying palm trees shade sun loungers dotted around a striking free-form infinity pool, where three separate tiers help to create a relaxing, double waterfall.

• Home from home: After a day of sun soaking and optional water sports, your chic and contemporary room awaits. Inspired by the island, rooms here are adorned with pale blue furnishings, wooden touches and plush patterned fabrics. And to top it off? Each room comes complete with a private balcony or terrace. Afterwards head to the main restaurant for delicious dishes overlooking the infinity pool, tuck into succulent seafood at the Esplanade Beach Grill, or grab a quick bite to eat at the Burger Bar. 

• Spectacular facilities: A host of facilities are on hand to keep you on your feet, like a fitness centre, games room and tennis court. The Garden Spa is perfect for a day of unwinding, with six treatment rooms on hand for personalised treatments and massages, as well as a Jacuzzi, hammam and sauna. Elsewhere, The Boat House provides a range of water sports amenities, including kayaks and pedal boats.
