About Mauritius

Mauritius is the island that other islands wish they were — a volcanic remnant wrapped in coral reef, where turquoise lagoons flip between glassy calm and world-class kitesurf conditions depending on which coast you are on. Beneath the coconut-oil-and-bougainvillea surface, there is a genuinely multicultural society: Creole, Indian, Chinese, and French traditions coexist in the food, the festivals, and the architecture in a way that feels organic rather than curated. It is not cheap, but the combination of warm Indian Ocean water, jungle hikes to inactive volcanoes, and cooking that no other island can replicate makes it consistently one of the world's most returned-to destinations.

✈️ Getting there

MRUSir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport

📍 48 km⏱ 60 min🚕 Taxi🚌 Private transfer🚌 Bus

Official airport taxis are metered and cost approximately Rs 1,500–2,000 (€30–40) to the west coast resorts or Grand Baie — negotiate the zone rate at the official taxi desk, not outside the terminal.

The main and only international airport on the island, located in the south-east near Mahebourg — virtually all European long-haul flights arrive here; Air Mauritius, Air France, British Airways, and Condor operate regular services from Europe.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Mauritius — beyond the tourist trail.

🌊Swim with wild spinner dolphins off Tamarin Bay on the west coast — local fishermen-turned-guides run early morning boat trips (leave by 06:00) before the dolphins head offshore. Do not use operators who chase pods; Yemaya Adventures is responsible.

🌿Hike to the summit of Le Pouce mountain above Port Louis — 2.5 hours return, no guide needed, and the view takes in the whole west coast and the capital below. Go Tuesday to Friday to avoid weekend crowds.

🍛Eat dholl puri from a street cart in Quatre Bornes market on a Saturday morning — it is the national breakfast food, a flatbread stuffed with yellow split peas and eaten with rougaille tomato sauce, and costs about Rs 15 (€0.30).

🐢Visit Île aux Aigrettes, a coral island nature reserve 500m offshore from Mahebourg — boat trips run twice daily, and the sanctuary has brought back giant Aldabra tortoises and pink pigeons to a habitat otherwise extinct in Mauritius.

🏄Kitesurf at Le Morne in July–September when the south-east trade winds peak — the UNESCO World Heritage site backdrop and flat lagoon water make this one of the world's great kitesurf locations. Lessons from Kite Lagoon for beginners.
