With an isolated location and a fascinating mix of international cultures, a holiday in Mauritius is the dream of many. The Indian Ocean island of just over one million people has been making gains with international tourism, and plans to make it a duty-free zone in the coming years should keep the momentum going.
Of the dozens of fabulous resorts in Mauritius, only one has overwater bungalows (water villas), and fortunately it's one of the finest of them all. Depending on your source you might be fooled into thinking that the Oberoi Hotel in Mauritius also has water villas, but those are just villas set in front of private pools, so they don't really count for us.
