It comes off your final price, and is refunded in full if you don't go ahead.
Mauritius gives you a beach that feels a world away, with direct flights from Europe, the Gulf and Perth. The lagoons are calm inside the reef, so mornings start with a swim or a paddle, and afternoons drift by under the casuarina trees. Each coast has its own character, and the east catches the trade winds while the west has the best sunsets.
When you want more than the beach, head inland. Black River Gorges has forest trails and waterfalls, and the Seven Coloured Earths at Chamarel show bands of red and violet sand. Le Morne Brabant, the basalt peak in the southwest, is a World Heritage site and a symbol of freedom. In Port Louis, street stalls cook dholl puri beneath colonial facades, a reminder of the many cultures that shaped the island.
