Mauritius

Mauritius, just inside the Tropic of Capricorn, some 1,200 miles off the coast of Africa, lies the beautiful island of Mauritius. Moonscaped mountains dominate the island’s interior, surrounded by wild gorges, sweeping fields of green sugar cane and casuarina fringed coves. A rich and varied landscape together with a fascinating blend of peoples from Europe, Africa, India and the Far East combine to make Mauritius a unique cosmopolitan island culture. The white beaches offer a superb choice of watersports and some of the world’s finest game fishing can be found beyond the protection of the reef.

Our Thoughts

Entertainment seems to be centred round the hotels and whilst there are local bars and restaurants, particularly round the Grand Baie area, there is little nightlife outside the hotels and resorts. The capital Port Louis, is the main shopping area with a colourful local market. The cultural mix of Mauritians has a strong influence on the island and is reflected in the many cuisines and warm hospitality.

Transfers

Journey times from the airport to Mauritian hotels are subject to prevailing traffic conditions. Approximate transfer times are shown in the individual hotel description text.

All Inclusive

"NO WORRIES, NO FUSS AND NO BIG HOTEL BILLS AT THE END OF YOUR HOLIDAY!" Some of our hotels offer a choice of ‘all-inclusive’ options. All-inclusive means that almost everything is included in the holiday price and can be a great help in managing your holiday budget. Details of inclusions vary slightly between hotels (see individual hotel descriptions for specific details). All food and drinks are generally available from selected menus at specific bars and restaurants in the hotels and resorts. Most hotels charge supplements for á la carte dining and premium brand drinks.
