BAZAARS & BEACHES – ISTANBUL & MAURITIUS TWIN CENTRE FROM £2,339
Two worlds. One trip. A journey that starts with the buzz of a city straddling continents and ends on an island where time seems to stretch and soften. Think colour, history and movement, followed by space, stillness and sea air. It is all about contrast, and it works beautifully.
We begin in Istanbul, diving straight into the energy of a city that never stays still for long. Three nights at The Marmara Taksim put us right in the mix, with sights, sounds and stories unfolding at every turn. This is a place shaped by empires, once Ottoman, once Byzantine, and forever fascinating. Mosques brush shoulders with churches, bazaars hum with life and history feels close enough to touch. Wander, taste, get lost. That is very much the point.
Then, almost overnight, the pace shifts. We fly on to Mauritius, where the air is warmer, the views feel bigger and everything slows into a gentler rhythm. Our home here is the 5 star Constance Le Chaland, tucked back from an unspoilt sweep of powder white sand on the island’s quieter south east coast. It has that deliciously remote feeling that makes you exhale the moment you arrive. The Blue Bay Marine Park glimmers nearby, and suddenly doing very little feels exactly right.
Breakfasts linger at Horizon. Evenings drift into sunset dinners with the sound of the sea close by. When you fancy something extra, Sea. Fire. Salt is ready and waiting. Half Board comes as standard, with an all inclusive option for anyone keen to switch off completely and stay firmly in holiday mode.
With a generous 30% saving included on your stay in Mauritius, this is one of those trips that invites a confident yes. Big culture, beautiful beaches and the kind of contrast that makes a holiday really land.
