Mauritius

Once a playground for pirates, the diverse island of Mauritius is best known today for its pristine white beaches and crystalline Indian Ocean waters.  With breath-taking sandy white beaches and sparkling turquoise shores, the island invites lazy days on the beach but there is so much more to explore on this lush, verdant island.

To start planning your tailormade holiday to Mauritius Enqiure here today!

Head out on a catamaran to enjoy the clear Indian Ocean waters, keeping an eye out for whales and dolphins along the way.  There are also some memorable dive sites and coral reefs for snorkelling if you prefer to experience the sea life from the water.

The island of Mauritius has a remarkably diverse cultural history.  The inhabitants are mainly descendants of European, African, Chinese and Indian immigrants, with each group leaving its identity on the island.  Not surprisingly this combines to create an interesting mix of Indian and Creole culture and cuisines.

From quaint fishing villages to colonial towns, pristine beaches to rugged mountains, there’s so much waiting to be discovered on this fascinating island.  From Hindu temples to grand sugar plantation houses, verdant rain forests to Creole villages, this is a tropical paradise island just waiting to be discovered.

The Chamarel Geopark is a must-see experience for curious minds.  The rainbow-coloured sand dunes are a surreal and unique geological spectacle, making them one of the most photographed sites on the island.

A holiday here can be whatever you make it. Relax with a book on the pristine white sands or make the most of the incredible choice of experiences available.  From Championship golf courses to award-winning spas, from water sports such as kitesurfing, kayaking and parasailing to treks in the mountain there’s truly something for everyone on this idyllic, peaceful island.
