Why this trip
Port Louis is the capital of Mauritius and for families less a seaside resort than a destination for a day trip when you are looking for a change from the beach. Children experience here how an island works beyond the hotel complexes: markets, harbour and history. In the Blue Penny Museum, the story of the famous stamp is told, and in the sugar museum L'Aventure older children learn how sugar shaped the island. The Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden invites you to stroll under large trees, and the Citadelle on the hill offers a view and room to climb.
For animals and nature, the Casela Nature Parks are a destination where children get a safari feeling. The GRSE waterfall fits as a short nature stop. As the best travel time, the country data name May to November, when it is drier and pleasantly warm. For accommodation, the coastal places Flic en Flac, Grand Baie and Le Morne lie nearby and are better suited to a beach holiday.
With the Victoria Beachcomber Resort & Spa or the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita, two properties are named that families can check. With Swiss Vibes you clarify in a video call how much city your children like.
