Landscapes changing around every turn
Mauritius is amazing with its incredible diversity.
In the north, shimmering lagoons border tranquil beaches. To the east, sugar cane fields sway in the breeze. The west blends mountains, gorges and unforgettable sunsets. In the south, rugged cliffs and indigenous forest shape a wild coastal beauty.
Inland, quiet villages, rivers, waterfalls and volcanic terrain create a living and ever-changing landscape. In just a few kilometers you travel from a marine tableau to a dense forest.
Mauritian tourism is defined by regions each with its own charm, colours and light. Whether you seek peace or adventure, Mauritius can be explored by land, on foot, or even by kayak, always in motion, between hope and discovery.

Savour Mauritius one bite at a time
Every meal on the island is a meeting. In markets or street stalls, Mauritian cuisine welcomes you warmly.
Taste a perfectly rolled dholl puri, fragrant fried noodles, slowly simmered snoek rougail, or a spicy fritter salad bursting with flavour.
Enjoy fresh sugar cane juice, nibble a warm cassava biscuit, or crunch into a zesty pani puri. From the sea, try vindaye fish with just the right amount of spice.
And finish with a curry leaf-infused creme brulee, elegant and unexpected. All accompanied, of course, with a local ti rhum arrangé!
Eating in Mauritius isn’t ticking a box, it's soaking up a culture, one bite at a time.
