This four-star family-friendly hotel is located right on the edge of the famous Flic en Flac beach on the west coast of Mauritius. You are just a short stroll from the white sandy beach which offers excellent snorkelling, not to mention the opportunity to retreat and enjoy the peace and tranquillity around you.

The hotel has no fewer than four pools, two of which are children’s pools, making it the perfect choice for a family holiday. A whole host of activities are on offer, including a kids’ club so there’s no need to get bored. Unless, of course, you choose to do just that….

The 150 rooms are well-appointed in bright, friendly colours. All rooms have their own balcony or terrace.

We reckon the “Burger Bar” restaurant will probably be a hit with the whole family, and there are also two other restaurants to choose from.

You are the master of your own time at Anelia. The hotel can help arrange excursions, and on one of the days, you should treat yourself to a visit to the beautiful day spa. After a lovely massage, you can relax in the outdoor jacuzzi, set in the scenic surroundings of the lush, well-kept garden.

5 km from the hotel is Casela Nature Park, a great place for children and adults alike where you can see giant turtles, zebras, tigers, lions, giraffes, monkeys, 1,500 birds as well as exotic flowers and plants. You can have a go at zip lining, canyon swing, Segway, walking on hanging bridges and much more besides.
