An island swathed in sugar cane, from which its famed rum is made, Mauritius is a foodie hotspot with the added bonus of being a tropical paradise.

Right now, until January 31, five-star Sugar Beach Resort is offering a 6-night romantic couples escape package in its Garden Manor House (including return airport transfers, breakfast and dinners). And, while the offer lasts, the package is available from just $1,929.

Set among tropical gardens, the luxurious beachside resort opens up to white sandy beaches and sparkling waters – offering the perfect spot to sip Madagascan-vanilla-infused rum and coconut water and get to know the flavours of this fascinating nation.
