Destination Information for Mauritius

With historic buildings and the island’s oldest market, Mauritius’s capital, Port Louis, is arguably where you’ll experience the ‘real’ Mauritius, with lots of restaurants and street-food vendors at lunchtime making it an attractive day-trip. By contrast, the rustic south gives a taste of times gone by – from the ancient Dutch capital of Mahébourg to the sleepy fishing village of Baie du Cap, this stretch of coastline is Mauritius’s least developed area. The west coast is host to calm, shallow beaches and is popular with young families, whereas the centre of the island presents you with hiking opportunities in the lofty Moka Mountains and canyoning at Tamarin Falls.
