Mauritius LIFESTYLE
The busiest beach of the West Coast
Although not the most beautiful beach in Mauritius, Flic-en-Flac is one of the most touristic city and offers many restaurants, bars, hotels, and shops. Street food and watersport activities vendors walk around all day long,willing to offer their services to locals as well as tourists.
Snorkelling & Surfing in Style
The Tamarin Bay starts at the Tamarina Hotel and goes down to Tamarin's City Center. It is one of the few beaches not protected by coral reefs. It makes it a great snorkelling and surfing spot, although you must remain cautious in the water.
The True Heaven on Earth
Mauritius has several small islands accessible through private boat tours, which are quite expensive for locals.In that regard, the Île aux Cerfs Island (literally Deer Island)is the most famous and therefore the most accessible one.No prior bookings are required as you can just show up at embarkation and bargain for a boat transfer.
Meeting spot for Fishermen and Tourists
Although the city's name may be misleading, the bay isn'tremotely the prettiest in Mauritius. However, its centrallocation in the Northern touristic city makes it a great placeto walk by, enjoy the view and meet fishermen back fromtheir sail. It is also populated by bars and restaurants.
The Surfers' Favorite Spot
The beach of Le Morne is literally at the South West's edge of the island, providing a great bay scenery and view on the Morne Brabant hill. Its remote location makes it a quiet and safe choice for relaxing. Also, the strong currents and winds make it a first choice beach for kitesurfing and other watersports activities.
Mauritians' Favorite Mall
Since 2011, Bagatelle has become the most popular mallof the Island. Conveniently located in the centre, it is easilyaccessible via the highway and includes a large parkingspace. It hosts restaurants, shops, supermarkets, and amovie theater, offering a wide range of products andservices for all budgets.
The Wildest Eastern Reserve
As much of the Eastern villages, Bras d'Eau is located in the middle of nowhere and is difficult to access even by car.Its natural reserve is thus not so popular among tourists and locals, which makes it one of the wildest spots for trails.
A Capital City's Must-See
The Caudan is one of the oldest mall built in Mauritius.Located on the docks of Port-Louis, it includes many high-end boutiques, duty-free shops, and cheap food vendors. It also hosts two great business hotels:Le Labourdonnais and Le Suffren.
The Heart of our Capital City
Being the main city in Mauritius, Port Louis is the home of the largest market, where you can find fresh food items,local dishes, and various handcrafted goods that are useful to locals and serve as souvenirs for tourists. It is always crowded, even during weekdays, as many locals working in Port Louis stop by for a cheap snack.
Best sunrise spot in Mauritius
Belle-Mare is the largest and most popular beach of the East coast. As it is well enlightened at night and much parking space is available, it is the perfect place to camp,jog or walk while watching the sunrise.
