Experience Mauritius
Envision Mauritius, an exquisitely beautiful island oasis nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean, just 2,000 kilometres off Africa’s East Coast. Known as the crown jewel of the Mascarene Islands, Mauritius boasts a stunning 330-kilometre coastline of sandy beaches, protected by one of the world’s largest continuous coral reefs, teeming with over a thousand unique species of fish.
Ready to explore?
As you traverse inland, the landscape ascends to a sprawling central plateau dotted with majestic mountains that peak at over 800 metres. These towering volcanic formations stand sentinel over the clear, natural lagoons created by the encircling coral barriers.
Experience aquatic adventures like parasailing, water-skiing, and fishing or explore the underwater wonders that abound. On land, indulge in team sports or embark on solo pursuits, using award-winning facilities to maximise your enjoyment. Relish the rejuvenating offerings of world-class wellness centres to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
Immerse yourself
Savour a culinary voyage that blends Creole, Chinese, French, British, and Indian influences, creating a symphony of uniquely Mauritius flavours. From the intoxicating allure of Eastern spices to the divine simplicity of local cuisine, every meal on this island paradise is an Epicurean delight.
Enjoy the vibrant tapestry of culture and tradition. Marvel at the botanical wonders of the Jardin Botanique de Pamplemousses, the awe-inspiring Coloured Earths of Chamarel, the avian sanctuary of the Bird Garden of Casella, and the bustling markets of Grand Baie.
