When you think of charming boutique hotels, you may not immediately think family-friendly. So it’s a pleasure to discover Veranda Resorts in Mauritius where they’ve been challenging that misconception for over 40 years now.
Cool boutique hotel vibes work beautifully for kids
Veranda Resorts’ collection of boutique hotels launched in 1982 with Veranda Grand Baie, previously known as Veranda Bungalow Village. This authentic property, featuring wooden, Creole-style bungalows with thatched roofs, introduced a different concept to Mauritius: easy family holidays which looked after guests as individuals.
