The Veranda Palmar Beach in Mauritius has re-opened after an extensive period of re-design and refurbishment.

Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean, is known for its beaches, lagoons and reefs.

The mountainous interior includes Black River Gorges National Park, with rainforests, waterfalls, hiking trails and wildlife like the flying fox.

Capital Port Louis has sites such as the Champs de Mars horse track, Eureka plantation house and 18th-century Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Gardens.

The all-inclusive 3-star Veranda Palmar Beach hotel has 77 rooms that 'represent the Mauritian look and feel', with natural elements and a new rum bar on the edge of the Belle Mare lagoon.

There is the main restaurant, Regatta and Horizon, a beach restaurant.

The Veranda Palmar Beach also displays the work of local artisans and artists.

Mauritian artist, Daphné Doomun has decorated the rooms with vibrant, chatoyant motifs through exclusive cushion designs.
