MAURITIUS, DAY1&2
Mauritian cookery class. Arriving in Mauritius after another travel day, we checked into the Four Seasons, which lets be honest, needs no introduction. This place is on a different level. If you’re looking for a luxury experience combined with an authentic cooking class that Mauritius visitors rave about, this is the perfect setting.
ANOTHER AMAZING SUNSET
As far as I am concerned, only the Maldives can compete with the resorts of Mauritius, and this place has pretty much everything.
WHERE IS MAURITIUS?
SUNSET
The weather today was pretty average, which is expected in the middle of the Indian Ocean at this time of year, so the rest of the day was spent chilling, eating, and watching the most incredible sunset. No surprise there!
THE FOUR SEASONS
As the weather was too rough to go diving, we spent time checking out the facilities, which are like nothing I have ever seen. The resort is so big that you are given bikes at check-in to get around.
There is a choice of 4 restaurants offering everything from small snacks to Italian, French, and Asian food. There are also special events held where you can experience Mauritian food and a BBQ night. Each restaurant offers a unique dining experience, so whether you prefer to look out at the sea while you eat a steak or be poolside with a rack of ribs, you will not be short of options.
BEACHES
There are several choices when it comes to beaches. Have a family or fancy some watersports, then head to the beach at the boat house. Want a seat in peace and quiet? Walk 2 minutes to the beach, looking out at the mangroves. Or, if you prefer an exclusive beach, you have access to Ile Aux Cerfs across the bay.
FACILITIES
Other facilities include watersports and diving centre, a spa, golf course, tennis courts young adults centre, a cookery school, a kids school, shops, and more bars than you could wish to visit.
COOKERY SCHOOL
I have heard a lot about Mauritian cuisine, and that any opportunity to cook has to be taken! Mauritian food is a blend of Chinese, Indian, and European cuisines, not to mention the growing French influence. Now, if there was ever a perfect mix, then that would be it.
We all love our light curries, like Thai, so you could imagine how happy we were when the chef told us we would be cooking chicken and prawn curry, perfect! Taking part in one of the premium cooking classes in Mauritius is known for gives you far more than just a recipe.
BBQ Night
