Luxury Holidays in Mauritius

A Lush Paradise with Endless Variety

Mauritius is a self-contained island nation nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean. It’s celebrated for having stunning natural beauty, a wide range of activities, diverse cultural heritage, and warm, welcoming people. This lush paradise offers a unique blend of relaxation and outdoor adventure, making it an ideal choice for those who like to do a little more than just relax.

Whether you’re lounging on white sandy beaches, exploring coral reefs with a range of underwater toys, or enjoying the local cuisine with your feet in the sand at an oceanside restaurant, Mauritius is never slow to surprise. 

Hike the trails of the Black River Gorges National Park to discover spectacular waterfalls and rare wildlife. Take a boat trip to nearby islets for a day of snorkelling and relaxation, or dive deeper to explore vibrant coral reefs and marine life. You may also like to visit the land of the seven-coloured earth in Chamarel, spoil yourself with a spa treatment, or take a local pottery class in the nearby village.

Dining in Mauritius reflects a blend of Indian, African, French, and Chinese influences, with flavoursome meals that are deeply satisfying. Sample dholl puri, a favourite street food, try the local rum or indulge in sophisticated seafood curry at an upscale Creole restaurant. 

Although Mauritius is a relatively small island, each region offers a distinctly different experience. You may like to spend your holiday in just one area and explore the island on a private day trip, or choose a combination of regions that deepen your overall experience with added variety.

Take a look at some of our top recommendations:

Grand Baie

The Adventure Hub

Grand Baie is the most developed of the touristy regions, so this northern gem is perfect for those who enjoy both relaxation and adventure. Explore the extensive underwater activities, visit the lively markets, learn a local craft, or soak up the bustling nightlife.

Flic en Flac

Colourful Underwater Worlds

Flic en Flac, located on the west coast, is renowned for its long white sandy beaches and excellent diving spots. Dolphins are frequently spotted playing in the waves. The area is also known for its spectacular sunsets, with a wide selection of high-end resorts to choose from.

Bel Ombre National Park

Untouched Natural Beauty

In the southern region of Bel Ombre, we find a rugged landscape with dramatic scenery. This rocky shoreline offers a more secluded getaway, with villa-style resorts nestled between lush sugar cane fields and the turquoise sea. Hike the impressive nature reserves, play a round of golf, and experience the local wildlife away from the main tourist routes.

West Coast of Mauritius

Wild and Windswept

The western coastline is a haven for those who are wild at heart. This side of the island catches the trade winds, bringing a balmy atmosphere with a windswept island feel. Set sail for a day of salty air. Set off for some deep-sea fishing in the vast open ocean, and sink your toes into miles and miles of soft, silky sand.
