Things to know

Mauritius is easy to navigate but best experienced with a balance of resort time and exploration. While luxury hotels offer everything you need, the island’s real charm comes from getting out, whether that’s chasing sunsets on the west coast, exploring inland nature, or trying local street food. Distances are short, but travel can be slow, so plan your days loosely and prioritise areas rather than cramming everything in. It is best to tackle the island by diving it up into North, East, South and West. Each area is unique in its own way.
