MAURITIUS: MY ULTIMATE INDIAN OCEAN ESCAPE FOR FAMILIES, COUPLES, AND DISCERNING TRAVELLERS
Having travelled extensively around the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is one destination I keep coming back to. There’ s something truly special about this island— its stunning beaches, lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and that warm, welcoming vibe. Whether you’ re travelling with family, as a couple, or just want a beautiful place to unwind, Mauritius has it all.
Hotels That Fit Every Style and Budget Mauritius offers an incredible range of accommodation, whatever your style or budget.
Two of my personal favourites are One & Only Le Saint Géran and Shangri-La Le Touessrok. Both have been recently refurbished and enjoy some of the best locations on the island— each boasting pristine beaches and stunning views.
One & Only Le Saint Géran is exceptional for families and couples alike. Its full family programme keeps kids entertained with fun, educational activities, while adults can unwind with tennis courts, a world-class spa, and gourmet dining options. The spacious suites and villas offer privacy and elegance, perfect for honeymooners or multigenerational families.
A Playground of Natural Beauty Mauritius is a feast for the senses. Imagine soft white sands, crystal-clear lagoons perfect for snorkeling, and dramatic volcanic peaks covered in jungle. The island’ s diversity means there’ s always something new to discover— whether it’ s wandering the colourful markets in Port Louis, hiking the UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant, or exploring hidden waterfalls in the south.
One experience I absolutely loved was the Mauritian Wildlife Experience at Ile Aux Aigrettes Nature Reserve. It’ s a fantastic way to connect with the island’ s unique wildlife, including the giant Aldabra tortoise. Educational, engaging, and perfect for all ages, it’ s a refreshing reminder of the island’ s commitment to conservation.
Experiences for Everyone Mauritius effortlessly caters to every type of traveller. Families will find calm lagoons for little ones to paddle safely, plenty of water sports for all ages, and beaches that stretch for miles. Couples and honeymooners will be swept away by the romance of private beach dinners, sunset cruises, and rejuvenating spa treatments.
Among my favourite island experiences is horse riding along the beach, literally splashing through the waves— it’ s one of the most magical ways to connect with the island’ s natural beauty. Another unforgettable adventure is taking a catamaran trip out into the deep blue to catch glimpses of the majestic whales and playful dolphins that call these waters home. These moments truly capture the essence of Mauritius.
For the active or adventurous, there’ s world-class golf, diving, hiking, and sailing. Food lovers are in for a treat too, with the island’ s rich fusion of Creole, French, Indian, and Chinese flavours made from fresh, local ingredients.
Shangri-La Le Touessrok impresses with its extensive watersports centre, including sailing, paddleboarding, and snorkeling, plus a fantastic kids’ club that offers everything from nature workshops to creative play. Couples will love the tranquil spa and intimate dining options, while families appreciate the range of pools and beach activities that keep everyone happy.
If you’ re looking for something a bit more budget-friendly without sacrificing quality, Beachcomber Trou Aux Biches is a brilliant option. With spacious villas featuring private pools and a lively kids’ club, it’ s a great choice for families wanting space and comfort.
Why Mauritius? What keeps drawing me back to Mauritius is the balance it offers. It’ s lively but laid-back, luxurious but welcoming, and packed with experiences but also perfect for doing absolutely nothing but soaking up the sun.
Whether you’ re after family adventures, a romantic escape, or simply a place to recharge, Mauritius offers a little bit of magic for everyone. For me, it’ s a place where you make lifelong memories— whether it’ s snorkelling with colourful fish, tasting local delicacies, or just watching a spectacular sunset with a glass of something cold in hand.
