Sunset paradise in Mauritius

Jennifer flies to Mauritius to see what's on off for holidaymakers keen to get away from it all.

The weather is always perfect and warm, the scenery is stunning and there's some great cheap shopping.

It's just right for families, backpackers or even extravagant romantics.

Even though she's travelling alone, Jennifer checks out a sailing boat available for hire, particularly for that romantic getaway in a place known for its sunsets.

The captain and a chef cater for all your needs on board, always assuring complete privacy for their guests.

Jennifer concludes it is absolutely one of the best ways to relax.

On shore there's a chance to learn the national dance, called Sayga, and listen to the water lapping on the beach as the sun sets melts away to mark the end of another day in paradise.
