Why this trip
A capital on a harbour: Port Louis shows Mauritius without a beach backdrop, with markets, gardens and sugar history. For travellers who want peace and quiet the city is not a destination for weeks, but a day or two give the trip depth. In the city's Sugar Museum families learn how sugar shaped the island, and the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden offers shade and giant water lilies. Umbrella Square invites a break, and at the GRSE Waterfall you see water falling over rocks.
After that, it is back to the sea. For the area the catalogue lists Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette, Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita, The Ravenala Attitude and Victoria Beachcomber Resort, with lagoon and beach. The months May to November are dry and mild. Grand Baie in the north, Le Morne in the south-west and Flic en Flac on the west coast offer the quieter beaches, Port Louis complements them as a short excursion by hire car or driver.
If you experience the island in two parts, allow for travel times. Island Escapes discusses in a video call how you sensibly spread city, nature and beach, and where the lagoon fits into your trip.
