Anything happening in Mauritius this week?

The island of Mauritius would be considered most people’s idea of paradise with endless swathes of sandy beaches, luxurious resorts and stunning sunsets over the Indian Ocean.

What better setting then for the inaugural, tri-sanctioned AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, where the likes of Thomas Bjorn, George Coetzee and Thorbjorn Olesen will be battling it out for the title.

And on social media, the players have been doing their best to makes us all feel suitably jealous as to where they’ll be competing this week.

Swede Rikard Karlberg has been off sightseeing around the island judging by the pictures posted on his website and also posted on his Instagram.

Low amateur at the 2013 Open Championship at Muirfield, Matthew Fitzpatrick, proved that at 20, he’s very much living the dream…

While three-time European Tour winner Arjun Atwal is clearly enjoying the perks of having a players’ lounge down by the beach.

South African Thomas Aiken will be hoping the Villas Valriche resort pool is the only water he finds this week…

And Englishman Chris Paisley praised the course and resort which will host the players tomorrow.

Jealous yet? Because we are.
