Jyoti Khaitan, fashion designer

nI have had the good fortune of travelling quite a bit all over the world, but there’s something about the beautiful island of Mauritius that will always have it at the very top of my list.

I went there about two years ago with my husband and our son, Devansh. Devansh had just completed 10, and so this was the first holiday that he was really old enough to enjoy and appreciate fully.

We were in Mauritius for a good 10 to 12 days and we stayed at a beautiful beach resort. Every night , the resort would host a cultural programme, complete with lively samba dancers and other performances. The festivities would continue till midnight.

During our stay in Mauritius, we even managed to explore the nearby islands. We indulged in watersports like jet-skiing and para-sailing. However, when it came to the underwater submarine trip, I was scared to try it. My husband and son did though.

Shopping in Mauritius was good too. Besides having a treasure trove of local mementos, the island has several big designer stores as well, like Ralph Lauren and Armani.

All in all, my holiday to Mauritius was one I’d definitely like to repeat.
