Tailor-Made Mauritius Holidays 

One of the top tier of ultimate global beach destinations, Mauritius is nonetheless so much more than a place to flake out on sugar-white sand. It has mountains to challenge the serious climber, marine life to dazzle the expert diver, wild jungle and a culture that’s an intriguing fusion of Indian, African and European influences. That makes Mauritius one of our top recommended holiday destinations. 

 

On the streets, you’ll hear the local French creole spoken; on the beaches, gasps are the likeliest sound as you take in the world class beaches of Trou aux Biches and Ile aux Cerfs. Mauritius offers some spectacular luxury, but venture inland from your resort and you will find a lush, verdant landscape of palms and gracious plantation houses.  

 

The Black River Gorges National Park, colonial relics such as the Euréka house and plenty more like them give a flavour of the many dimensions offered by this island. The food is another highlight – zingy and fiercely spicy with abundant fruit and fresh seafood, Mauritian cuisine is making its mark worldwide – but it has added piquancy consumed in situ, with a dose of the dangerously moreish local spiced rum.
