While living on the island of Mauritius (and eating far too many baguettes a l’Ancienne with delicious French cheese), I decided to start yoga to to stay fit and healthy, and to relieve the stress that comes with running a busy media business. The Wellness Festival Mauritius came up soon after, and offered me a truly transformative experience.

Debbie Hathway returns from the 12th CIEL Ferney Trail in Mauritius fired up to be more active next year. And after the 2018 CIEL Ferney Trail, she was determined to enter this year. Extra motivation was the organisers’ introduction of a fun 8km option for those who simply wanted to enjoy a little exercise around one of the most magnificent natural attractions on the southeast coast of Mauritius. The annual event is held in September in the Ferney Valley, a privately owned domain where 200ha is dedicated to the protection and rejuvenation of endangered flora and fauna in some of the last remaining endemic forest on the island. The proceeds are split between La Vallée de Ferney Conservation Trust and Inclusion Mauritius, a group of 12 NGOs working for people with intellectual and physical disabilities.

What a blast from the past! We hadn’t sailed a Hobie Cat in many years, so ofcourse we jumped at the chance to do so. And boy were we spoilt! Flying along on crystal blue waters, in warm, tropical winds with the mountains of the north of the island as a backdrop – it was a truly memorable experience. And the best part for people used to sailing in icy waters? No wetsuits required – just a bathing suit, a harness and a lifejacket. Now that’s my kind of sailing!

It’s summer, its the end of the year and its time to reflect. If you’re lucky enough to be holidaying on an island like Mauritius you could probably do with a long day at a beautiful spa being pampered and spoilt. But if that’s not an option, seek out Isle des Deux Cocos and you will feel like you have had a full day of spa treatments.
