Le Morne and the lagoon from the air, Mauritius

Mauritius, volcanic peaks, endless blue.

Lagoons inside a reef, mountains behind the beach and resorts made for doing very little, beautifully.

Why go

Why Mauritius?

Mauritius is the island for travellers who want rest with a little life around it. Calm lagoons for children, catamaran days, the spice of Creole cooking. We match the coast to the season and the resort to the people travelling.

Drive through sugarcane fields to seven-coloured earth, taste rum that's been aging since before you were born, and snorkel in waters so clear the fish seem to float in air.
