Footprints In The Sand

14 NIGHTS, MAURITIUS & RÉUNION ISLAND

The best family holidays leave everyone with a different favourite memory. For some, it’ll be galloping along a deserted beach at sunrise. For others, it’s soaring above volcanic landscapes by helicopter or watching the sun dip below Le Morne with a glass of Champagne in hand. This is an island-hopping getaway that’s filled with moments you’ll be reliving.

Begin at LUX* Belle Mare, where modern suites and villas invite you to unpack. Start your morning with a horseback ride along the shoreline and a barefoot breakfast on the sand. Then it’s on to LUX* Saint Gilles in Réunion, where days are filled with outdoor adventures. Soar above the island’s dramatic volcanoes and emerald cirques by helicopter before returning to the resort’s lagoon and tropical gardens, giving everyone space to recharge between explorations.

Back in Mauritius, The St. Regis Le Morne Resort provides a spectacular ending beneath the island’s iconic mountain. Beachfront suites, tropical gardens and the twinkling ocean set an appropriately laid-back scene. Younger guests can enjoy dedicated activities while adults unwind, before everyone comes together for the resort’s signature sunset sabrage. Champagne, Sega dancers and stories of Mauritian heritage round off an incredible tour of this Indian Ocean gem.
