Reasons To Visit Mauritius Today
Think of Mauritius and you will probably conjure up images of powder-white sands, turquoise waters, and blue skies stretching out into the distance - and you wouldn't be wrong. But few know much about this island nation in the Indian Ocean - and just what makes it so special. Let us take you on a tour of the best that Mauritius has to offer; perhaps it just might be your next holiday destination.
The Resorts
Mauritius boasts some of the world's best resorts, and you are almost sure find one to suit your needs. Whether you are after a luxury experience with on-site spa or are travelling with family and looking for a place right on the beach, there is an option to suit all travellers.
Scuba Diving
Plunge into the warm waters off the north coast of Mauritius and you'll be treated to a kaleidoscope of colours. Indeed, this island is home to coral reefs and over 430 marine species, with everything from sleepy turtles to vibrant lionfish. There are plenty of dive schools around for you to get stuck into as well, so exploring these underwater worlds couldn't be easier if you were that way inclined.
Food
One of the best things about travelling has to be experiencing the local food. In Mauritius, the produce is some of the freshest you will have ever experienced, with juicy pineapples and the mouth-watering jamalac, which is like a cross between an apple and a watermelon. The country's cuisine is diverse and interesting, with influences ranging from French to Indian and Chinese.
Wedding and Honeymoon Destination
It is easy to see why Mauritius was awarded the best wedding and honeymoon destination by the World Travel Awards back in 2013. Not only is the country fringed by word-class beaches and some of the planet's most stunning scenery, but the resorts offer excellent packages and warm hospitality to ensure you enjoy your romantic getaway.
Adventure Activities
Sunny holidays do not have to mean lying around on the beach all day; adrenaline junkies will be spoilt for choice on this tropical island. Head over to the Domaine de l'Etoile reserve to hire out buggies and quads or why not try your hand at canyoning down the waterfalls.
Year-Round Sunshine
Mauritius has only two seasons, with temperatures ranging from a pleasant 17 up to a scorching 30+ degrees. This makes it a great destination to visit all year round, with plenty of sun to soak up while there.
Hiking
Those looking to get some invigorating exercise in will not want to miss the chance to explore the national parks on foot. Mauritius is well-known for its awe-inspiring nature, and you'll get a chance to see dramatic waterfalls, magnificent gorges, and some of the most diverse flora and fauna on the planet. If you are feeling extra adventurous, check out one of the zip line centres where you can observe the beauty of the island from high above the ground.
With unique natural wonders and world-class hospitality services, it's hard not to fall head over heels for this pristine island. Book your trip to Mauritius today to create memories that will last you a lifetime. Contact us for more information.
