tanding on the edge of the speedboat, I wait, anticipating the timing of my jump. The next thing I know, I am trying to keep up
with the pod of wild spinner dolphins who are surrounding us. We swim together in the open waters of the Indian Ocean, and
I can't stop beaming. Mauritius, it seems, really is a place where dreams can come true.
Mark Twain, the brilliant adventurer and American author (The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer), once wrote: "Mauritius was made first
and then Heaven, and that Heaven being copied after Mauritius." Evidently he was right. An island 600 miles off the coast of
Madagascar, Mauritius is famed for being a honeymoon destination with its idyllic beaches and luxury hotels, yet there's much more
to it than that. A melting pot of cultures and religions due to its colonial past, you will find mosques next to Hindu temples next to
churches emblazoned with neon signs. It's this laid-back, tolerant approach that emanates through everyone I encounter.
My stay takes place at the Paradis Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa, a holiday retreat with an unparalleled location in the lush,
unspoilt south-western tip. The vista is exceptional; set against the backdrop of the iconic Le Morne Brabant mountain - a UNESCO
