A holiday in Mauritius can turn out to be rich, surprising, interesting, fun and even very moving! For this to happen all you need do is venture out of your hotel…not obvious if you are staying in one of the best hotels in Mauritius!

Dolphins: everyone dreams of catching a glimpse of these graceful animals, or even swimming with them. In Mauritius, dolphins are found off the West coast. Several companies offer the chance for tourists to get up close to these sociable and loveable marine mammals.
Among Mauritius’ nature reserves, three domains in particular have reputations for their natural features: the Domaine de 7 Vallées, a unique ecotourism concept over 4000 hectares of beautifully preserved nature. The Domaine de Bel Ombre offers more than 2500 hectares of beautiful grounds, an experience that lets you get up close to authentic nature. Finally, the Domaine de Lagrave, which has been shielded from modern advances, showcases Mauritius’ flowers and fauna in over 500 hectares of parkland.

Mauritius is sugar-coated!
