Mauritius is a great place to spend the Christmas break. Those looking to escape the cold British weather will be glad to hear that December average temperatures are around 25 °C. December is also one of the best months for scuba diving on the island because the water is at its warmest and calmest.

Heritage Le Telfair is perfect for large family get-togethers at Christmas time. Senior suites are available with adjoining rooms for parents and children, and there are many varied activities for families to enjoy together, or for youngsters to explore themselves, leaving the adults with a bit of Christmas peace.

• A Christmas Eve dinner at Chateau de Bel Ombre with delicious local ingredients
• A casual festive buffet at the C Beach Club with Sega and Fire Camp
• Meet Santa Claus at the kids Christmas fair at Chateau de Bel Ombre
