The soothing energy of Mauritius
Nestled between Madagascar and Rodrigues, Mauritius truly lives up to its nickname as the island of a thousand colors. The striking blue lagoon meets the lush green mountains, while serene beaches are lined with charming villages. Everything is calm, yet vibrantly alive.
The ultimate getaway
Blue Lagoon
On the east coast, Belle Mare beach is one of the longest on the island. In the early morning, the light is magical and the lagoon is clear. A few casuarina trees provide shade. The soft white sand is beneath your feet, and the endless ocean stretches ahead.
A view from above
What if you explored Mauritius from the sky? From a seaplane, Le Morne Brabant, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, emerges as if set upon a palette of blues and greens. Your gaze will be drawn to the colorful lands of Chamarel and the shaded pathways of the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden. Prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking views!
By the sea
In the north of the island, Grand Baie's terraces offer stunning views of the lagoon. Amid elegant restaurants and hidden gems, savor Mauritian specialties such as dholl puri, a thin split-pea flatbread served with curry and chutneys. This fragrant cuisine is inspired by the fresh market produce and the day's catch.
First light
On the shores of the island's largest bay, Mahébourg moves with the tides. At dawn, colorful pirogues glide out to sea, while the market comes to life. In November, the Festival of the Sea transforms the waterfront with music, local delicacies, and the blessing of the boats.
