Holland International adds Mauritius

Who says Mauritius, directly thinks of azure blue sea, white beaches, waving palm trees and luxurious hotels. The sunlit island in the Indian Ocean makes this image more than true and offers the traveler even more than that. From the summer of 2015, this dream destination comes, through Holland International, very close. The touroperator adds Mauritius to her distant destinations.

In collaboration with airline Emirates, Holland International offers ten-day vacations to Mauritius. The trips to Mauritius are bookable via Hollandinternational.nl and the travel agency from Wednesday 12 November. From this date, the Holland International travel brochure will also lay in the shelfs.

Surprisingly cheap

The touroperator brings the exotic strand paradise with sharp prices with easy reach for the Dutch traveler. In collaboration with airline Emirates, the traveler flies from Amsterdam, through Dubai, two times a week to Mauritius with the biggest airplane in the world, the A380. The traveler can also choose from a big amount of hotels, from atmospheric three-star appartments to luxurious five-star all-inclusive resorts, including the renowned RIU hotels. RIU opens three hotels on Mauritius: RIU Coral, RIU Creole and the adults only hotel RIU le Morne. All are situated directly on the beach and have the well-known, extensive all-inclusive-formula.

More than just a strand paradise

Mauritius is sure a strand paradise, but also offers more than that. The island in the Indian Ocean has a big supply for water activities, as well above as below the water. The island also has historic attractions, a green inland with among other waterfalls, sugarcane fields, botanical gardens, hiking possibilities, a delicious kitchen and a pleasant climate. It is always sunny and the whole year there are temperatures between the 25 and 33 degrees. Last but not least: the friendly locals are maybe the most important business card of this African pearl.
