In Mauritius, island time is the only schedule worth following. It’s a tropical paradise where some of Africa’s best beaches play host to incredible marine life, a unique culture influenced by India and the Far East, and world-class resorts that treat every guest like royalty. In the capital, Port Louis, civilisation chugs along against the backdrop of leafy hills and azure waters, belying the slow pace that nature forces you to match at every turn.
In the east, crystal-clear blue waters shelter endangered turtles and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish. Meanwhile, Mauritius’ west coast harbours long stretches of white sand with coral reef snorkelling opportunities just a few metres off the shore. Each coastal town and village hums with its own combination of rural appeal and resort life, while inland, Black River Gorges National Park cuts deep gashes into the landscape, resulting in lush valleys and jagged, precarious cliffs.
After dark, Grand Baie comes alive with the steady beat of nightclub baselines and the smell of Indo-Chinese cuisine. Locals share stories with travellers over local beers and cocktails, whetting the appetite for yet another day of paradisical adventures in the Indian Ocean.
