Tropical Paradise in Mauritius

Often described as heaven on earth, the island of Mauritius can be viewed as most people’s idea of a tropical paradise. Boasting some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world, it offers up an overwhelming array of white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, hidden delights and idyllic accommodation options.

Renowned for its awe-inspiring coral reefs, deep-sea diving expeditions and exhilarating golfing opportunities, the island truly has wide-ranging appeal. Located off the coast of the African continent, and surrounded on all sides by the Indian Ocean, it offers up a tropical climate, meaning that regardless of when you visit, you can expect to be bathed in the warm glow of golden sunshine.

The capital of Mauritius, Port Luis, is one of the best places to start your exploration of the island and offers up a great way to experience the local culture; a blend of Indian, Creole, Chinese and European influences. The market is definitely worth a visit and is brilliant for trying out the range of sumptuous and exotic cuisine available. Just the smells alone, wafting through the streets are enough to make your mouth water!

The deep-sea fishing opportunities are also not to be missed. Famed for holding a number of world fishing records, it is possible to find mako sharks, white tuna and marlin, to name but a few of the species. For the water lovers of you out there, the Magic Sails Catamaran Cruise is highly recommended. Lasting for three days, you are taken around some of Mauritius’ most beautiful sites, as well as a number of its hidden lagoons.

To get the best view of the island, why not sign yourself up for some of the hikes available? Not only will you be able to experience the stunning natural beauty first-hand, but you will also be privy to witnessing the vast array of exotic wildlife that can be found, such as the rare pink pigeon, giant fruit bats and monkeys. The Black River Gorges National Park in the west of the island is particularly good for hiking opportunities.

Golf is another popular way to pass time on your Mauritius holidays. Indeed, many of the hotels offer up impressive golf courses, meaning you can simply pick your favourite before working on improving your swing! Cited as the most impressive, the Le Touessrok Golf Course is situated on its own private island and is surrounded by sandy beaches and forested mountains – what more could a golfer ask for?

From hiking and deep-sea fishing to relaxing on one of the many golf courses across Mauritius, a holiday to this tropical paradise offers everything one could ever ask for on a luxury holiday.
