Mauritius – Holidays Dream Island
By Tom Dahne
When looking for the perfect vacation in beautiful weather, you have to look no further than Mauritius holidays. Based in Mauritius Island, this island is an oasis of peace and tranquility. Do not get fooled though, because there is a plethora of activities and sites to see on the island of beauty, Mauritius.

There is a plethora of hotels in Mauritius that you can select from, including deluxe five star hotels down to affordable three star hotels. The easiest way to find a hotel that suits your needs is to research online. Many websites break down the hotels by region from north to south and east to west on the island. If there is a particular hotel you have heard good things about and would like to research up on it, you can simply enter the hotel’s name in the search bar.

Every site is different, but each should provide some sort of sample as to what the hotel looks like. You can also find the activities offered at the hotel itself such as pools, bars, and entertainment. Once you find the perfect Mauritius hotel, you can either call and make reservations or book your room online.

As far as the entertainment goes, the beautiful Mauritius weather allows for a number of different activities on the island. Because it is an island surrounded by gorgeous turquoise water, water activities are by far the most popular. You can lounge on the beach or take a dip in the water, or snorkel and see the fish that fill the sea.

Because of the number of fish that fill the surrounding sea, deep see fishing is a popular activity among tourists. Some of the species include blue and black marlin, a number of different sharks, yellow tuna and the barracuda. There are several world fishing records that the island holds, making every trip on boat a thrill.

If you are looking for some fun in the sun outside of the water, several hotels offer excellent golf courses. You can determine if your hotel offers a golf course by searching the activities offered by the hotel. Perhaps the most exquisite golf course is “The One&Only Le Touessrok Golf Course,” as it lies on its very own tropical island. It offers one of the most amazing golf settings in the world with white sands and a backdrop of the green mountains.

When booking a flight to Mauritius, the easiest way to find great deals at the time you want to vacation is through a travel agent. You can begin doing research of your own on the internet. Each website on Mauritius has travel information for you to compare airline prices and determine when the best time to travel is.

Mauritius offers a peaceful, yet adventurous vacation at the same time to tourists. The list of activities could go on forever with spas, honeymoon specials, and shopping to bring home those souvenirs. With booking flights and hotels being so easy, you can begin enjoying a vacation you will never forget at Mauritius holidays.

Discover Brighton – Britain’s Most Popular Seaside Destination
By Ian Traynor
Explore some of the key attractions of Brighton, UK and find out why it is so popular.

One of the famous seaside resorts in the United Kingdom is Brighton. It has got a range of attractions and facilities to suit everyone. A short visit to Brighton would give you the problem of what to visit and what to miss!

Brighton is located on the south coast of England, and was one of the first “seaside resorts” in England. The cream of English society started to frequent Brighton in the 18th century and today, whilst not receiving many such exhalted guests, it continues to be a very popular holiday destination.

About 8 million tourists visit Brighton every year.

Why Brighton is so popular?

Whilst its claim to fame is its distinguished and appealing seaside, the city also has a thriving nightlife scene and some tremendous history – so much so that it’s been given the nickname of “London on the Sea”.

It certainly offers one of the most accessible tourist beaches from London, thanks to extensive transport links between Brighton and London – and the rest of the United Kingdom.

So, even if you don’t want to actually stay in one of Brighton’s many excellent hotels and B&Bs, you can easily make a day trip to Brighton whilst staying in London!

Incidentally, if you need to find accommodation in Brighton or elsewhere in the UK, there’s an excellent search facility, with room rates discounted up to 70 per cent, on the City of Brighton website.

And Brighton is a good place to be in! According to a YouGov survey conducted in 2006 Brighton was voted as the one of the “Happiest Cities” in UK and “The UK’s Coolest City”.

Maybe that’s why it attracts so many “hen” and “stag” parties!

Major attractions of the city:

The Royal Pavilion

One of the “must-see” places of Brighton is the Royal Pavilion, a former Royal palace built as the home for the Prince Regent during the early 1800s and is notable for its Indian architecture and Oriental interior design. Dr Richard Russell of Lewes spent much of his leisure time in the town and constructed the exotic and expensive Royal Pavilion during the early part of his Regency.

Brighton Pier:

Brighton Pier is the second most visited leisure facility with over 4.5 million tourists per year.
The Pier has a family entertainment centre in the “Pleasure Dome” with the following facilities for the visitors:

* Restaurants
* Arcades
* Funfair
* Bars
* Side-Stalls

Pebble Beach

The wide variety of bars, restaurants,night clubs and amusement arcades attracts many visitors both in the day and the evening.

Preston Manor:

If you enjoyed the Brighton Royal Pavilion, it’s also worth popping into Preston Manor, which is a historical feature initially built around the 1600’s. There are over 20 rooms to explore in the tour. This delightful old Manor House evokes the atmosphere of an Edwardian Gentry house both upstairs and downstairs.

Sealife Centre:

Sealife is believed to be the World’s oldest aquarium and has an interesting architecture. It has over 150 marine species and 57 unique displays. A highly popular attraction is the “Submarine Adventure” which takes you through some of the most wonderful and even inhospitable creatures to be found along the seabed.

“The Lanes”

The Lanes is the oldest part of Brighton. It’s a narrow maze of winding paths crammed with interesting shops, cafes and boutiques. It’s also Brighton’s premium shopping district and is well worth a visit. It’s easy to find, located opposite the tourist information centre and barely a couple of minutes from the seafront on Kings Road.
