Direct British Airways flights to tropical Indian Ocean island

A tropical island in the Indian Ocean, reminiscent of Jurassic Park, is now easier to reach with direct British Airways flights from Gatwick. The Hilton Mauritius Resort has recently undergone a £20 million upgrade, enhancing its facilities. Visitors can encounter wildlife like Big Daddy, a giant Seychelles tortoise at the Ile aux Aigrettes nature reserve. This area is home to many rare species and offers a glimpse into the island's unique history. Tourists can enjoy local cuisine at nearby restaurants, such as the Ferney Falaise Rouge, which features modern twists on traditional dishes. The refurbished Hilton Mauritius Resort has new rooms, four restaurants, beach bars, a gym, and a luxury spa. Guests can relax on the beautiful Flic-en-Flac beach, protected by a coral reef that makes it safe for children and perfect for snorkeling. Activities include sailing, enjoying cocktails, and participating in unique evening ceremonies. The resort also offers easy access to nearby attractions, including Tamarin Bay, famous for its dolphins, and the uninhabited Île aux Bénitiers for picnics and beach bars. Travel packages for seven nights at the Hilton Mauritius Resort start at £1,739 per person, including flights and airport baggage. Eco tours of Îles aux Aigrettes are available at affordable rates as well.
