For those who have visited her shores, the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius is the ultimate beach destination thanks to its white sands, crystal clear lagoons, lush tropical forests and a culture and climate uniquely its own.

 

Super popular for a honeymoon, the island has also made itself attractive to families with its abundance of watersports and winter sun appeal. There are also golf resorts aplenty offering fairways with a reef view and expansive spas where island-grown ingredients are used in the therapies.

 

Head inland and Mauritius’ bounty is plentiful. Don’t miss the Black River Gorges National Park, UNESCO World Heritage-listed Le Morne Mountain, the seven-coloured earth at Chamarel and the giant water lily ponds of Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens.

 

Explore the beaches which offer something different on each side of the island and incredible underwater worlds which are a huge draw for divers. Catch a traditional Sega dance and taste the island’s rum and melting pot of delicious national dishes.

 

Team this backdrop with our Been & Seen Mauritius hotels and resorts on the island and you have the recipe for the perfect tropical beach holiday.
