Mauritius + kids + World Leisure Holidays = family travel bliss

Affordable and hassle-free. Two terms every parent planning a family holiday wants to hear. World Leisure Holidays knows this, which is why it’s one of the leading specialists in travel packages to this family-friendly island. Here are a seven reasons why: 

1. Kids under 12 fly free

World Leisure Holidays' packages include return direct flights on Air Mauritius from Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. Not only will you avoid pesky connecting flights – you can fly with two kids between the ages of two and 11 for free (airfare surcharge applies from 22 June to 16 July 2018). 

Take two for free on the flight 

2. Kids under 12 stay and eat free

Kids stay and eat free when sharing with adults at the three family-friendly Mauritius properties sold by World Leisure Holidays: La Pirogue (four-star); Sugar Beach (five-star); Long Beach (five-star). There are plenty of water sports, daily excursions and entertainment options to keep the little guys busy.

There's (literally) no cost to their happiness when you book with World Leisure Holidays

3. Short travel times and R&R for you

Direct Air Mauritius flights slash your travel times. You can be there in six hours; less time than most road trips. Once at your resort, get the time off you need by taking full advantage of the kids' clubs. They love it, you get time off for golf, a massage or finally getting to read that book at the pool. It’s a win-win.

Seafood dinners are only a short flight away

4. Mauritius is heaven

After he visited remote Mauritius in 1896, Mark Twain quoted an islander as saying: “Mauritius was made first and then heaven; and heaven was copied after Mauritius.” We agree: you’d be hard pressed to find a more stunning beach destination, with mouth-watering curry and rice dishes, incredible natural sights and activities and a unique local culture.

Your idea of heaven?

5. Affordable luxury

World Leisure Holidays' seven-night luxury packages range from R14,350 to R17,530 per adult, depending on which resort you choose and whether you fly from Johannesburg, Cape Town or Durban. That includes return flights, hotel/airport transfers, breakfast and dinner daily and, with some packages, golf green fees. And did we mention kids under 12 stay and eat free? 

Four- and five-star luxury's within your reach

6. Free ‘Awaycations’

During the low season period, all guests staying at any of four Mauritian properties sold by World Leisure Holidays – Ambre, Long Beach, Sugar Beach or La Pirogue– can choose between two “Awaycations” from the resort: a chauffeur drive for the day to explore the island; or a catamaran cruise (maximum two adults). There’s no charge for this – it’s included in low-season packages for free, gratis, mahala.
