An isle of beaches, forests and mountains

You will want to spend lots of time on – or in – the water during your Mauritius holidays. Plunge into the teal ocean to snorkel in safe distance of brilliant coral reefs and marine wildlife, or book an island cruise to glide by the sheltered lagoons of the east coast. 

On land, you can hike to the prominent basalt peak of Le Morne Brabant, or lounge on one of Mauritius’ many white sand beaches. To see more of the scenic island, hire a car with us and drink in idyllic views of tea fields and waterfalls. Like Brits, Mauritians also drive on the left, and the island is very navigable, even sharing the same road signs as the UK. 

The capital of Mauritius, Port Louis, offers a dash of culture. Follow the locals to the popular Central Market. For Mauritian glass souvenirs and other artwork, visit the Craft Market. If you seek shade, take refuge in the shade of banyan trees at Jardins de la Compagnie. Book your flights to Mauritius today and start exploring.

Mauritius holiday FAQs

Mauritius is blessed with a diverse range of ecosystems – all of them stunning. You will want to revel in the island’s natural beauty during your Mauritius holiday.

  1. Spend a day on the ocean in a catamaran.
  2. Hike to the top of Le Morne Brabant for fantastic views.
  3. Join a tea tour for a tasting, a trip to the tea fields and a visit to the Tea Museum.
  4. Shop for spices and souvenirs in the markets of Port Louis.
  5. Take a scenic helicopter tour to see the underwater waterfall.

Although the whole island of Mauritius can easily be explored by car, you will want to stay in a neighbourhood that resonates with you. Each island coast is distinct, and everyone has got a different opinion of which is 'best'.

  • To enjoy warmer weather, make your way to the west coast, which is protected from winds by the mountains. The clear and gentle waters also make this beach popular with families. Flic-en-Flac beach is the longest beach on the west coast, which caters to swimmers and snorkelers, too. On land, you can shop or dine in a local restaurant. Flic-en-Flac beach also offers a prime spot to watch a brilliant sunset.
  • For a touch of luxury and a bit more privacy, stay on the less-developed east coast. Spend a day on the ocean with an array of water sports on Beau Camp or simply kick back on the beautiful Belle Mare beach Soulliac and Mahebourg.
