Invited to attend the World Travel Awards Africa & Indian Ocean Gala Ceremony in Mauritius, French actors and producers Bruno Solo, Pascal Elbé, Michel Boujenah, Pierre Rochefort and actress Nicole Garcia were welcomed to Maradiva Villas Resort & Spa.

While resident at the one-of-a-kind property, the French celebrities whole-heartedly participated in a tree planting ceremony.

As part of the Maradiva conservation programme, endemic plants to Mauritius, including Cassine Orientalis and Diospyros Tessellaria (also known as Bois d’olive and Bois d’ebene noir respectively) were added to the resort’s lust vegetation.
