Home to pristine white-sand beaches and charming island communities, Mauritius promises the ideal setting for an East African coastal retreat. Set off the coast of Madagascar, this delightful island nation promises unobstructed views of the Indian Ocean from its palm-studded coastline and ranks among the most beautiful countries in the world. There’s no shortage of sights to enjoy in Mauritius, from Chamarel’s impressive ‘Seven-Coloured Earth’, the home of Aldabra giant tortoises, to the coral reefs and coves that line its shores.  

As a former outpost of the British, French and Dutch empires, the island boasts a rich history and its heritage sites offer engaging excursions to compliment thrilling safari adventures in nearby South Africa. Whether you’re visiting the Takamaka Boutique Winery, the only producer in the world dedicated exclusively to lychee wines, or island-hopping across the Mauritian coast, there’s an excursion for every occasion on the Indian Ocean.
