Mauritius holidays
Mauritius sits in the Indian Ocean – 600 miles east of Madagascar and a bit further out than its island neighbour, Reunion. Bask in an expansive emerald landscape, fringed with sugar-white beaches and enveloped by turquoise waters during your Mauritius holiday.
Our cheapest holidays to Mauritius
An isle of beaches, forests and mountains
You will want to spend lots of time on – or in – the water during your Mauritius holidays. Plunge into the teal ocean to snorkel in safe distance of brilliant coral reefs and marine wildlife, or book an island cruise to glide by the sheltered lagoons of the east coast.
On land, you can hike to the prominent basalt peak of Le Morne Brabant, or lounge on one of Mauritius’ many white sand beaches. To see more of the scenic island, hire a car with us and drink in idyllic views of tea fields and waterfalls. Like Brits, Mauritians also drive on the left, and the island is very navigable, even sharing the same road signs as the UK.
The capital of Mauritius, Port Louis, offers a dash of culture. Follow the locals to the popular Central Market. For Mauritian glass souvenirs and other artwork, visit the Craft Market. If you seek shade, take refuge in the shade of banyan trees at Jardins de la Compagnie. Book your flights to Mauritius today and start exploring.
