One lucky reader and partner will win a week’s holiday at Ambre resort worth R40 000.

Timing is everything – just when you thought winter was getting the better of you, along comes the competition of your dreams. F&HE together with World Leisure Holidays is thrilled to offer you and someone special a holiday in paradise. Enjoy sun-soaked days looking out across an azure ocean while reclining with your favourite cocktail.

The four-star Ambre resort is located at Palmar on the east coast of Mauritius. Situated in a sheltered bay with a pristine 700m beach, it offers island living at its best. The accommodation is sheltered by tropical plants and offers elegant living in a modern and peaceful environment. All rooms have flat-screen TVs with satellite programmes, Wi-Fi access, mini bars and tea and coffee-making facilities. Standard rooms as well as family units are available.

Whether you’re looking for Italian or beach dining or prefer to eat in the main restaurant, all tastes are catered for. There’s also room service, of course, and a number of bars provide great venues to meet up with new friends.

Leisure activities include everything from water sports such as kayaking, scuba diving and snorkelling to aqua gym, aerobics and water polo. A fitness centre also offers your gym away from home with its full range of cardio and toning equipment.

And for those who need even more pampering, the spa’s four treatment rooms, hammam, sauna, jacuzzi and beauty parlour provide ample options and blissful therapies.

The Sun Kids and Sun Generation Clubs have a wide range of supervised activities and events for both age groups, including hiking, swimming and tennis clinics, and their own selection of menus, buffets and braais at dinner time.
