Mauritius

Mauritius is a jewel of the Indian Ocean, where turquoise lagoons, volcanic peaks, and sugarcane-covered hills create a landscape of tropical elegance and cultural richness.

This idyllic island blends African, Asian, and European influences, reflected in its warm hospitality, vibrant markets, and world-class cuisine.

Luxury travellers are drawn to its white-sand beaches and exclusive beachfront resorts, where private villas open onto the water and personalized service defines every moment.

Beyond the coast, adventure awaits with catamaran cruises, snorkelling and diving among coral reefs, and helicopter tours over the dramatic Chamarel Waterfall and Seven Coloured Earths.

The island’s interior reveals scenic hiking trails through Black River Gorges National Park, while the UNESCO-listed Aapravasi Ghat and Le Morne Brabant tell powerful stories of Mauritius’ heritage.

From championship golf courses and rum tastings on colonial estates to tranquil spa retreats and sunset sailing, Mauritius offers an alluring mix of natural beauty, cultural depth, and refined island luxury.

Mauritius is also a great option to combine travel to/from South Africa!
