Where to Go in Mauritius

• 

  Black River Gorges National Park

  The largest national park in Mauritius, Black River Gorges covers 6,000 hectares filled with striking natural beauty, making it arguably the most beautiful of the island’s parks too. If you only have time for one, this should be it. It’s inhabited by the endangered pink pigeon, echo parakeet, Mauritius kestrel, giant fruit bats, and more than 300 species of flowering plants. Deer, macaque monkeys, and wild boar often wander through. Bring a camera and your good hiking shoes to take it all in by hitting the trails. You’ll also encounter awe-inspiring views of waterfalls, mountain peaks, and gorges.

• 

  Grand Baie

  The island’s main tourism hub, Grand Baie was a small fishing village just a couple of decades ago. Today you’ll find multiple attractions, excursions to embark on, and a myriad of pretty beaches. If you like to enjoy the privacy offered at the many resorts while enjoying evenings out dancing and socializing among locals, you might want to spend at least part of your time here. Diving, snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, and golfing are all possible and there is a wide range of excellent restaurants too. A wealth of shopping venues are available from the Grand Baie Bazaar to the Citadel.

• 

  Flic en Flac

  The best sunsets and diving opportunities can be found along the west coast around villages like Flic en Flac. South of Port Louis, it’s home to Flic en Flac beach, the longest in the region with calm water perfect for swimming, snorkeling, diving, or kayaking. Plus, the palm-lined shore is lined with an array of accommodation options, restaurants, bars, and shops. Farther north close to the island’s tip you’ll find some unrivaled beaches with fine white sands, like Trou aux Biches with pristine, clear, and calm waters with a vibrant coral reef just a short swim from the snore, making it ideal for snorkeling.

• 

  Belle Mare

  For a stay at one of the most luxurious beachfront hotels, consider Belle Mare on the east coast. It’s more exclusive, not as built up as other areas, and boasts an emerald lagoon along with the softest, powdery white sands. Even when the sea is rough, you’ll be able to take a dip in the calm waters of the lagoon. At the northern end is the Post de Flacq Peninsula with multiple golf courses. Just south of the peninsula is Beau Camp, a playground for watersports enthusiasts with opportunities to enjoy just about everything imaginable in and on the water, from waterskiing to parasailing.
