You’ll be met on arrival by a private chauffeur, who’ll see you to one of the city’s most luxurious properties – the One&Only Cape Town. Perched among the fashionable boutiques of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, it offers a private spa island, world-class dining and a stunning infinity pool. Views are also taken in by the private balcony of your marble-accented room. You’ll then have three full days to explore at your leisure. Perhaps to summit the iconic Table Mountain by cable car, wander the incredible Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden or take in the notorious heritage of Robben Island, where Mandela was imprisoned. Aside from some white-sands relaxation, just beyond the city limits there’s also the infamous Winelands and the penguin colony at Boulders Beach.

After a private airport transfer you’ll fly to Mauritius, where you’ll again be met by a private transfer for the journey to your state-of-the-art accommodation – one of the island’s finest. Here, you’ll settle in to your marbled room to enjoy private-balcony lagoon views and indulgent half-board dining, from prime steak grills and sushi specialities to seafood barbecues, mouth-watering Mauritian curries and artisanal baked goodies. Set on its own private peninsula, the resort also offers much more than exclusive beach access. The spa is superb, the pools sublime and the water-sports range from scuba diving and snorkelling to fishing and paddle-boarding. Then, back on land, yoga classes, bike rides and the tennis courts are perfect for staying active.
