Mauritius
What you need to know before you go
Mauritius, a tropical island paradise nestled in the Indian Ocean, is renowned for its palm-fringed sandy beaches, sparkling blue waters and beautiful coral reefs. Mauritius is just made for the laid-back and cosy holiday you’ve always dreamt of. Plunge into the salty seawater, take a romantic sunset stroll along the beach or read a good book in the shade of the palm trees while sipping a refreshing drink. The beaches are not just for unwinding though. They offer a wealth of opportunities for water sports enthusiasts. Discover the underwater world of the coral reefs by snorkelling or diving at Blue Bay or riding the waves at Tamarin Beach.
Mauritius has a lot more to offer than just its beaches. Its natural and cultural richness is equally captivating. Your visit wouldn’t be complete without exploring the unspoiled wilderness of Black River Gorges National Park, a haven of rainforests, waterfalls, hiking trails and home to several indigenous species. The dramatic landscapes of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Le Morne Brabant are also a top attraction due to the biodiversity and cultural history of the area. To truly understand the beauty of the island, you must witness it first-hand.
