Discover Mauritius

Mauritius

From white-sand beaches and turquoise lagoons to volcanic mountains, colourful towns and lush tropical landscapes, Mauritius offers far more than a beautiful coastline.

Welcome to Mauritius

More Than an Island Escape

Mauritius is the kind of destination that works just as well for complete relaxation as it does for exploring. Its beaches are beautiful, but beyond the coast you will find waterfalls, mountain scenery, botanical gardens, local markets and a fascinating mix of cultures.


Whether you are planning a romantic escape, a luxury honeymoon, a family holiday or a tropical break with plenty to see and do, Mauritius gives you the freedom to make the trip as relaxed or adventurous as you want it to be.

Top Tips for Travellers

A little planning can help you experience more of Mauritius. From exploring inland to choosing the right coast, these simple tips will help you make the most of your time on the island.

Explore Beyond the Beach

Lisbon and Porto are fantastic, but smaller towns such as Sintra, Évora, Coimbra and Óbidos can add a completely different dimension to your holiday.

Choose Your Coast Carefully

Portugal's Atlantic coastline is one of its biggest attractions. Even if you are staying in a city, it is worth setting aside time for nearby beaches, fishing villages and coastal walks.

Try the Local Food

Mauritian food reflects Indian, Creole, Chinese and European influences. Look out for dishes such as dholl puri, curries, fresh seafood and local street food rather than eating only within your hotel.

Hire a Car or Take a Tour

Mauritius is small enough to explore relatively easily, and travelling around the island can add a huge amount to your holiday. Scenic drives, private tours and day trips make it easy to see more than one region.

Find Your Favourite Side of Mauritius

Mauritius can be a morning beside a calm lagoon, an afternoon exploring mountain roads, dinner by the beach or a day discovering waterfalls, markets and tropical gardens.


From luxury resorts and romantic escapes to family holidays and adventurous road trips, there is much more to Mauritius than simply lying beside the sea.


However you want to experience the island, start exploring Mauritius and find the place that feels right for you.
