Thailand has long been one of Asia’s most popular holiday destinations — and for good reason. Think beautiful beaches, warm tropical waters, exotic food, spectacular scenery, lively markets, fascinating culture and a remarkable choice of resorts.

When planning a holiday to Mauritius, many travellers ask the same question: "Which resort offers the best combination of luxury, space and value for money?" While there's no single answer that suits everyone, Victoria Beachcomber Resort & Spa is one of the first resorts I recommend to families, couples and groups looking for a relaxed beachfront escape without paying the premium prices of Mauritius' ultra-luxury properties.

Canonnier Beachcomber is situated on a private peninsula on the north-west coast, the resort enjoys panoramic ocean views, three sheltered beaches and beautifully landscaped gardens filled with mature banyan trees and palms.

Beachcomber Mauritius resorts have become famous for delivering one of the most complete holiday experiences anywhere in the Indian Ocean. From complimentary water skiing and sailing to championship golf, tennis, paddle boarding, snorkelling and diving — Beachcomber has perfected the balance between relaxation and activity.

Mauritius continues to be one of the most rewarding island holiday destinations for South African families — and in 2026, it may offer even better value than many travellers expect.

A Historic Peninsula Escape That Delivers Exceptional Value for Discerning Travellers When it comes to choosing the perfect Mauritius holiday, the challenge isn’t finding a beautiful resort—it’s narrowing down the options.

There are few travel experiences that truly feel complete. But combining an African safari with an Indian Ocean island escape comes very close. One moment you’re watching elephants cross the savannah at sunset — the next, you’re barefoot on a white-sand beach with the ocean stretching endlessly ahead. This is the Africa most travellers dream of.

The Bazaruto Archipelago is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful island destinations in the Indian Ocean. Located just off the coast of Mozambique, this protected marine paradise offers powder-white beaches, warm turquoise water, vibrant coral reefs and some of the most exclusive Mozambique island resorts.

With powder-white beaches, warm turquoise water, world-class diving and small boutique resorts, the Mozambique Islands beach resorts offer a more exclusive and authentic alternative to more commercial destinations.

With over a thousand coral islands scattered across the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, this tropical paradise has become the ultimate dream destination for travellers seeking pristine beaches, overwater villas, turquoise lagoons, and world-class hospitality.

When travellers search for “best beach resorts in Zanzibar with no tide” or “Zanzibar resorts with swimmable beaches all day”, they are almost always pointed toward the island’s spectacular north west coast — particularly Kendwa and Nungwi. Unlike the east coast of Zanzibar, where dramatic tidal shifts can leave the ocean hundreds of metres away for hours at a time, the north west coast offers consistently swimmable beaches, calm turquoise water, and those postcard-perfect w

A direct flight from South Africa straight to Nosy Be makes planning beach holidays, romantic escapes, and nature trips much simpler.

If you’re looking for an exotic island holiday that still feels authentic, unspoilt, and refreshingly good value, Nosy Be in Madagascar should be at the very top of your travel list. Often called “The Perfume Island” thanks to its fragrant ylang-ylang plantations, Nosy Be is a tropical paradise offering turquoise lagoons, lush rainforest landscapes, rare wildlife, and some of the most breath taking beaches in the Indian Ocean.
