Mauritius is deservedly celebrated for its sapphire waters, powder-white beaches and luxury resorts, but it’s also the kind of place that rewards exploration with its fantastic hiking, diving and snorkelling on offer.

Throw in the culinary scene, sunset boat trips and depths of cultures and it’s understandable why Mauritius is so lauded. Beyond its pristine beaches, Mauritius unfolds with a blend of Creole, Indian, Chinese, and French influences, creating a dazzling blend of flavors and traditions.
