Sparkling bright amidst the blues of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is a paradise for thrill seekers and leisure travellers alike. Dotted with pristine beaches, coral reefs and swaying palms, this African archipelago is perfect for surfing and diving. And if you’re a food connoisseur with a love for shopping, be prepared to have your mind blown away at the many options available here.
Here’s a list of top 5 things to do immersive holiday in Mauritius:
1. Play with Dolphins at Tamarin Bay
Start your day early with a hearty breakfast and head straight to Tamarin Bay. You can also visit Black River or other such famous places for similar excursions.
Get close to these wonderful aquatic mammals when they swim in the warm waters during sunrise, touch them while they zoom around your boat and make memories you will cherish for a lifetime.
2. Visit Chamarel Coloured Earth
Get set for a unique geographical phenomenon revealing at Chamarel’s 7 Coloured Earth—a geopark with a surreal view!
Popular for being a centre of geological education and conservation, this tourism hotspot is located close to the Chamarel waterfall. While here, admire the multicoloured landform, trek to nearby waterfall and take cute pictures with the residential giant turtles. You can also hope by the restaurant for local snacks and refreshments.
3. Explore Caudan Waterfront
If you wish to spend a day tasting the best of Mauritius through food, shopping, casino, leisure and artistry, then you cannot miss visiting Caudan Waterfront in Port Louis. Lined with rows of shops and restaurants selling everything from Mauritian street food and gourmet delicacies to local crafts and jewellery, gear up for an experience unlike any other.
Admire the best of artworks at the Blue Penny Museum, Caudan Art Centre and L’Allée des Artistes (The Artists Corner). Stock up on beauty products and say yes to refreshing wellness treatments after collecting souvenirs and craftwork. Oh! And do not forget to indulge in the many food options available here for a wholesome experience.
4. Experience Mauritius’ Nightlife
Though rather underrated, Mauritius’ nightlife is known for its own energetic vibe. After spending the day amidst breath-taking landscape views, head to a beach club, casino or lounge for a dash of fun.
Savour exotic Mauritian dishes with foot-tapping background music and spoil yourself with the multitude of cuisines available—from European delicacies to Asian delights, you’ll find everything here. Some of the best places to unwind would be Lambic, 7 Merveilles Restro-Bar, Banana Beach Club, Big Willy’s and the Flying Dodo.
5. Tour Rhumerie de Chamarel
Located on the fertile lands near Chamarel’s 7 Coloured Earth, Rhumerie de Chamarel is a family-owned distillery famous for producing Mauritian rum.
Book a cab and admire the panoramic view of sugarcane and tropical fruit plantations on your way, tour the distillery and witness the art and precision involved in the whole process—from harvesting and distilling to blending and ageing of the beverage in oak barrels. And do not leave without tasting the most authentic rum prepared using traditional methods and farm-fresh ingredients.
