More to Mauritius: Getting to Know the Island

It's easy to think of a Mauritius holiday purely as a chance to relax, and that's a lovely reason to go. But an island holiday can be about so much more than the sunlounger.

A Character All of Its Own

Mauritius has a character all of its own, and stepping away from the resort is a lovely way to get a feel for it.

Getting Some Context

Taking a little time to learn about the place you're visiting gives real context to your trip. If heritage and history matter to you, tell us and we'll factor them into your plans.

Food as a Way In

Food is one of the easiest ways to get to know a place, so be curious, try something new, and ask about what you're eating.

Port Louis and Local Life

Time in Port Louis, the capital, is a chance to see a different side of the island.

Plan a Culturally Conscious Holiday

A proper Mauritian holiday should include time away from the resort. Consider:

  • Time exploring Port Louis
  • Learning about the island's history and heritage
  • Trying Mauritian food
  • A day or two exploring beyond your resort

We specialise in crafting bespoke luxury holidays to the Caribbean and Indian Ocean, with tailored recommendations and a dedicated concierge service. Tell us what interests you and we'll help you design a Mauritius itinerary that balances relaxation with time to explore.
