Multicentre Holidays to Mauritius

Mauritius: startlingly white beaches, brilliant blue waters, endless cocktails. Does it get any better?

It does. When you combine your Mauritius holiday with a multi-centre, you’ll get to enjoy everything from city life to wildlife ending off with the ultimate fly and flop getaway. We’d recommend stopping over in Dubai for a few days’ of tax-free shopping, climbing one of the world’s tallest buildings and taking advantage of some of the most luxurious hotels on earth. Or ticking Cape Town off your bucket list. Just a five hour flight from Mauritius, introduce your friends and family to travel envy as you visit Table Mountain and explore Robben Island just offshore of this cosmopolitan city. The cherry on top? Combining Mauritius with a safari where you can spot Big Five in South Africa’s Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

Travel Tips & Advice for Holidays in Mauritius

Mauritius Activities

From surfing to paragliding, there are plenty of things to do in Mauritius. Sign up for cave sea kayaking on the west coast to spot the famous Albion Lighthouse or pull on a diving helmet and immerse yourself in the wonders of the ocean with an underwater sea walk.

You'll find locations in Port Louis and Grand Baie offering this incredible experience. For those looking to break up their holiday with a little thrill-seeking and adventure, consider a ziplining experience in Casela Park located near Flic en Flac beach or sign up for a half-day canyoning trip in the beautiful Tamarind Falls on the south-west of the island.

Mauritius Food & Drink

You won't be short of options for what to eat in Mauritius. Specialising in an array of seafood dishes, the traditional cuisine in Mauritius is a delight to the taste buds. From flavoursome crab curries served with rice and packed with garlic to delectably sweet coconut cakes, there’s a variety of sweet and savoury Mauritian foods that you simply must try.

Head into the capital of Port Louis and visit Central Market, where you’ll be able to shop like a local and pick up some fresh fruit and drinks. Imagine sitting on one of the many sandy beaches while biting into tangy pineapple or enjoying a crisp cold beer after a trip to this market. What could be better?

Mauritius Attractions

If you crave adventure on your holiday, Mauritius offers it in spades. Head to Black River Gorges National Park - the rugged mountain terrain is covered in wild forestry, hosting a stunning mix of exotic flora and native fauna. Explore the waterfalls within this wild park with a guided hike. If you choose one of our resorts in the Belle Mare area, consider a trip to Bras d'Eau National Park with a huge forested nature reserve to explore.

Those looking for a cultural experience, there are many tourist spots in Mauritius - you should look into a trip to the sacred lake Ganga Talao, also known as Grand Bassin, which is overlooked by several beautiful Hindu temples. Or visit Ganga Talao Hall, one of the most impressive of these, with ornate statues of the Hindu gods standing 108 feet high guarding the entrance.
