Mauritius Holidays

Lovingly dubbed The Star of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius has been enticing visitors for years with its breath-taking beauty, sparkling crystal waters and year-round warm temperatures. Whether you’re looking for a romantic retreat, fun with the family, or you’re just in need of a break from your everyday life, Mauritius is the perfect place to enjoy an island escape in the sun.

Beaches
Mauritius is blessed with 330km of shoreline, offering some of the best beaches in the world. In the north, you’ll find the lively Grand-Baie, picture-perfect Le Morne to the southwest, and the laid-back Belle Mare to the East.

Food & Drink
From the unofficial national dish Dholl Pori, an Indian-inspired flatbread served with curry, chutney and atchar, to the French-Creole Rougaille stew, Mauritian cuisine is a reflection of the diverse people who make up the island’s population. If you’re feeling a bit thirsty in the tropical heat, try a sip of locally produced Mauritian rum or a spot of the local Phoenix beer.

Culture
With influences from France, Africa, China, and India, the island of Mauritius boasts a rich and diverse population. A warm welcoming community, the Mauritian people always have a smile and a helping hand for friends and visitors alike.

Nightlife
Loved by all for over 20 years, the Banana Beach Club is the hottest place to spend a night on the island. If you’re looking for something a little bit more chilled out, check out the C Beach Club’s Chill bar, located right on the beachfront, for a selection of cocktails and weekend DJ sets.
