Mauritius is bigger than its beaches — a drive around the island turns up tea plantations, volcanic craters, botanical gardens and some of the best kitesurfing conditions in the Indian Ocean.
The island's calm, reef-protected lagoons make it a reliable choice for families, while its more polished resorts and spas have made it a long-standing honeymoon favourite.

What should you do on Mauritius? Among the many activities available, a drive around the island's four corners reveals some of its most beautiful beaches, each with its own character.
The island doesn't only offer beaches with individual charm — it's also a genuine hub for water sports. If you're looking for some of the best kitesurfing conditions in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius has become a must-visit for the sport.
Inland, tea estates, the Black River Gorges, and volcanic craters give the island more depth than a typical beach destination, worth a day or two away from the resort.
Mauritius holds up well across most of the year, with the cooler, drier months from May to December generally preferred for beach time. For more information, take a look at our Mauritius packages.
