Idyllic Beaches

You’ll love a beach holiday to Mauritius thanks to this island’s array of long stretches and pristine white sand. While boasting idyllic surroundings like many of the other destinations across the Indian Ocean, the sandy expanses here are often much more tranquil and less crowded, meaning you can well and truly relax and enjoy the ocean views while you soak up the scintillating sunshine. Holidaymakers can also look forward to al fresco beachfront dining, sunset cocktails and serene moments in a private beach cabana. Regarded as the best beaches in Mauritius, make sure you visit one of the following: Belle Mare Beach, a 10-kilometre stretch located close by numerous upmarket restaurants and bars; Le Morne Beach, situated on Mauritius’ southwestern peninsula and framed by the monument Le Morne Brabant mountain; or Trou aux Biches, consistently rated as one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and a great spot for families.

Exciting Activities

You’ll love the myriad of things to do in Mauritius, with lots of activities on hand to keep you thoroughly entertained throughout your stay. The Indian Ocean is an excellent spot for water sports fun. Explore vibrant coral reefs such as Belle Mare or Blue Bay Marine Park to encounter exotic marine life like the endemic Mauritian clownfish, green and Hawksbill turtles, rays and reef sharks. Paddleboarding and kayaking are also great ways to take in the sights of Mauritius’ turquoise lagoons. Experience luxury sailing with a catamaran cruise. This excursion is great for island hopping and expiration beyond Mauritius, as well as dolphin watching. For those who wish to stay dry, there’s plenty of hiking trails across Mauritius, as well as ATV and quad biking opportunities. Don’t miss out on a helicopter or seaplane ride to get a bird's eye view of the underwater waterfall.

Delicious Cuisine

Made from a blend of Indian, Chinese, African, French and Creole influences, you’ll love Mauritius cuisine and the diverse gastronomic experiences available in this luxury holiday destination. Sample iconic Mauritian dishes such as: dholl puri, a street food staple made up of flatbreads that are stuffed with a variety of savoury delights; rougaille, a creole tomato-based stew; or bol renversé, an “upside-down bowl” of stir fried vegetables, meat and a fired egg that are flipped onto a plate. Seafood, including prawns and lobster, also plays a big role in this cuisine, thanks to Mauritius’ location in the Indian Ocean. For the best food stalls and street fare, visit Port Louis’ central market. Mauritius also has a deep-rooted history in tea. Travel down the Tea Route and visit three historical estates: Domaine des Aubineaux, Bois Cheri, the oldest tea plantation on the island, and Saint Aubin.

Spellbinding Natural Beauty

There are more unmissable Mauritius attractions beyond its beaches and we’re sure you’ll love the spellbinding natural beauty this island oozes. Le Morne Brabant, a mountain on the southwestern tip, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with historical significance. Brimming with verdant foliage and jaw-dropping views of the underwater waterfall below, this spot also acted as a safe haven for escaped slaves. Head to the Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth Geopark to admire multicoloured sand dunes in hues of red, purple, orange and blue. There’s also a coffee plantation and a Tortoise Park, where the giant Aldabra tortoises reside. The Chamarel Waterfall is another hotspot you need to visit during your holiday to Mauritius. Standing at nearly 100 metres high, it’s the tallest single-drop waterfall on the island and is set amidst a divine tropical greenery. The Black River Gorges National Park is the largest protected forest in Mauritius, perfect for picnics, hikes and spotting endemic wildlife.
