Mauritius: an island with 1000 facets

In the spotlight!

Away from the dream beaches, Mauritius offers spectacular national parks, authentic cuisine and festivals as well as first-class golf courses. It is therefore worth taking a look at the six regions of the island and their very special characteristics.

Lots going on in the north

The focus here is on the village of Grand Baie with the best shopping spots on Sunset Boulevard, hip beach clubs, cool bars, live bands and Sega performances. For sports, head to the five northern islands with their white sandy beaches, enchanting wildlife and some of the best snorkeling and diving spots in Mauritius with crystal-clear, turquoise waters. The pearly white Trou aux Biches beach with coconut palms and a great range of water sports is particularly attractive.

Secret tip - center of Mauritius

The "Eureka House" from 1836 with a view of Mount Ory takes you on a journey back in time. Built in the most beautiful colonial style from mahogany wood, it is now a museum offering an authentic insight into the era. Not far away is the oldest golf course in the southern hemisphere, the Gymkhana Golf Club - still an insider tip among the island's 15 courses. The shopping centers Les Arcade Currimjee, Bagatelle Mall and Tribeca Central are also worth a detour.

The best sunrise in the east

You have to get up early for this, but the fishing village of Trou d'Eau Douce is definitely worth a day trip. The Belle Mare area is also well worth a visit: As the name suggests, the best and longest beaches are located here. Golfers, on the other hand, will appreciate the excitingly beautiful 18-hole "Ile aux Cerfs" golf course designed by Bernhard Langer, which is considered a "must play". In addition, the four-kilometre-long, powder-soft, white sandy beach of Île aux Cerfs is ideal for swimming, sunbathing, snorkelling and water sports.

From the natural phenomenon to the sacred lake in the south

The famous, seven-colored earth of Chamarel is considered a unique natural phenomenon, while the sacred lake Ganga Talao with its impressive temple and huge statues is the spiritual center of the Mauritian Hindus. There are also remains of the former sugar cane factories at Bel Ombre.

Best sunset in Flic en Flac in the west

Here you will find the longest and hippest beach promenades with turquoise water, palm trees
water, palm trees and many water sports facilities as well as world-famous golf courses around Tamarin Bay, guarded by the striking Le Morne Brabant mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Adventure seekers can visit the Black River Georges National Park with 50 kilometers of trails, waterfalls and viewpoints. "Highly recommended is the Creole street food cuisine in Tamarin Bay.

Last, but not least - Port Louis, the capital

Speaking of street food: the Central Market near Chinatown is famous for this. In the tiny, colorful stores, you can sample Chinese cakes and steaming dim sums, freshly filled with meat, fish or vegetables. The whole thing is framed by street art, for which the capital is also famous. Art can also be admired at the Caudan Art Centre, where concerts are also held. In addition, the religious diversity in Port Louis is reflected in impressive religious buildings - from the Jummah Masjid Mosque to the St. Louis Cathedral or the Kwan Tea Pagoda to the Sockalingum-Meenatchee-Ammen-Kovil Temple. The most beautiful panoramic view of the city and the harbor can be enjoyed at sunset from the citadel "Fort Adelaide".
