Mauritius with George Cook
Mauritius: Barefoot Luxury, Island Soul & Ocean Days
Mauritius is the kind of place that slows your breathing the moment you arrive, where turquoise lagoons melt into powder-soft sands and every day feels gently sun-soaked and unhurried. It’s an island that doesn’t shout for attention, but quietly captivates with its dramatic natural beauty.
Think mornings that begin with warm sea swims and afternoons drifting between palm-fringed beaches and shaded loungers. Add coral reefs alive with colour, local flavours infused with Creole spice, and evenings that glow with golden-hour skies. This is island living at its most refined, and exactly the escape George Cook had been dreaming of.

George Cook’s Island Escape
George’s journey began with a visit to our Hays Travel Portsmouth branch, where she met with Sinead to talk through her ultimate holiday wish list. Following a brief few questions about her preferences, they decided that the perfect trip for George would be a trip to Mauritius! Staying at the adults-only 5* Paradise Cove Hotel & Spa, it’s the kind of place designed for slowing down, with hidden coves, infinity pools that mirror the sky, and uninterrupted views across the Indian Ocean.
For George, this trip is all about balance. Time to truly switch off, paired with moments of discovery, snorkelling over coral reefs, swimming in warm ocean waters, and soaking up the island’s culture beyond the resort. And with Mauritius as the backdrop, every moment promises to feel sun-drenched, soulful and effortlessly special, the kind of holiday that lingers long after the flight home.
