Why Visit Mauritius?


A simply stunning spec of green land in the middle of the azure Indian Ocean, holidays to Mauritius have always been seen as the epitome of luxury - similar to that of The Maldives.

However, there is more to Mauritius than meets the eye. With cultural influences ranging from Africa to Europe and a diverse gastronomic scene to match, as well as a vibrant and striking history which can still be felt in locations across the island today. Mauritius holidays will never disappoint.

Overview of Mauritius

Located off the southeastern coast of Africa in the lap of the mesmerizing Indian Ocean, this island country serenely encompasses around 788 miles in area. Catapulting you into a world of enchanting marine life, exotic wildlife, rich culture, history, sublime cuisine renditions all scrunched up amidst breathtaking views!

Rainforests and Reefs in Mauritius

Venture away from coastlines into dense vegetation and uncover an underappreciated aspect of Mauritius - its lush rainforests. A hiker's heaven laden with trails guiding you through thick woodland to distinctive biodiversity including native bird species (a twitcher's paradise!).

Diving further deeper around the island gives rise to another bewitching facet; coral reefs! These underwater ecosystems buzz with life providing colourful spectacles for snorkelers and divers alike.

Diverse Flora and Fauna

Mauritius is abundantly blessed with diverse flora and fauna. With natural reserves like Black River Gorges National Park, home to endemic birds like Mauritian Flying Fox or Kestrel to intriguing reptiles like Telfair’s skink, the wildlife is indeed delightful. Being a tropical region, exotic flowering plants as well as majestic trees help paint the landscape with vivid colours fostering a never-ending fascination for nature enthusiasts.


When Is The Best Time To Go To Mauritius?

The best times to book your Mauritius escape are April - June or September - December. During these periods Mauritius basks under moderately cool and dry weather in between it's super hot summer and wetter winter months.

If you'd like to get out and explore more of the island during your Mauritius holiday, we recommend going April - June. However, if you prefer lounging on the sand and making the most of the warmer weather, the September - December window is your best time to book.
