Rest and relax

The north side of the island offers an idyllic respite, with palm trees and gentle waves at beaches like Mont Choisy and Trou-Aux-Biches, where you can relax in the shallows of the stunning, crystal clear sea.

On an all-inclusive holiday package to Mauritius’ west coast, you can explore the bustling capital, Port Louis, when you need a break from the swinging in your hammock at the beach. The lively central market and the Le Caudan Waterfront complex are superb places to shop for souvenirs and gifts.

Luxurious and glamorous hotels line the east coast. Spacious and glamorous, they appeal to travellers looking for the ultimate in relaxation.

Get active

Beyond lazing around on the beach and sandy barefoot walks, Mauritius offers a multitude of water-based activities to spice up your trip. Diving, kayaking, parasailing, snorkelling, stand-up paddling, underwater sea walking… the list goes on. Head to Grand Baie on the north side, the centre of the island’s water sports industry, for all the action and to book lessons.

The Black River Gorges National Park on the south side of the island is a vast stretch of pristine tropical rainforest. Trek through the park to Plaine Champagne for a panoramic view of dramatic cliffs and stunning gorges and, if you’re lucky, you may also see some rare native birds.

Food & drink

With an all-inclusive holiday deal in Mauritius, you can sample a full range of exotic dishes including Indian, African, European and Chinese cuisine. Must-try dishes include fish vindaye (curried fish with saffron, mustard and garlic), rougaille (tomato-based stew with meat or fish), and alouda (almond-flavoured milk drink).

Mauritius is also famous for its rum, so if you’re interested, why not visit a distillery?
