Mauritius

The interior of Mauritius consists of mountains and inactive volcanoes, coated in tropical rainforests. This part of the island can be explored on hikes, quad bikes or on horseback, with the Black River Gorges National Park being a particularly beautiful part that is worth visiting. Of course, the beaches are exquisite and are best enjoyed with a cocktail in hand under the shade of a palm tree. The private island of Île aux Cerfs boasts one such pristine beach as well as a magnificent lagoon and fabulous golf course. The surrounding off-shore islands can also be explored by yacht or catamaran.

Mauritius also has a fascinating history including the Flacq Market, Grand Baie village and the Balaclava Ruins near the Baie aux Totues. The capital, Port Louis, also boasts various attractions such as Forts, the Port Louis market, bars and shopping at the Caudan Waterfront, and a tour of the historic homes and chateaux on the island, such as Eureka and Labourdonnais.
