The island nation of Mauritius offers average temperatures well above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, gorgeous white beaches, pristine turquoise waters and more. Mauritius is an ideal destination for a relaxing luxury experience.
The main airport in Mauritius is Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) near the city of Mahébourg. Do not hesitate to book your vacation to Mauritius. Click on the link (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php) to book your flight through EscapeWizard.com. The island offers luxurious accommodations in the northern city of Balaclava and elsewhere throughout the island. EscapeWizard.com provides a list of the top recommended hotels. To view the top hotel selections, follow the link (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl) to the hotel portion of our site.
We at EscapeWizard.com believe your first stop should be a place to experience the island’s natural beauty and wonders. At Black River Gorges National Park, vacationers can catch a glimpse of endangered animals. This 16,000 acre park is also home to approximately 300 species of native, common flowering plants and nine species of birds only found on the island. EscapeWizard.com suggests traveling west of Black River Gorges; there lays the Coloured Earths of Chamarel, rolling dune-like hills of a wide variety of shades. The view of these dunes first thing in the morning will leave you breathless.
You cannot come to this island nation and not experience its water sports. There are many to choose from—swimming with dolphins, kite-surfing, sailing, diving, and deep-sea fishing to name a few. Mauritius is one of the most important fishing centers in the world. Mahébourg’s lagoon is the biggest in Mauritius and draws fishermen from all over. Mauritius is also a renowned kite-surfing destination thanks to its various high-quality kite-surfing locations. One of the most popular spots is Le Morne, a west coast city known for its windy shoreline.
Mauritius has made a name for itself a premier diving destination. Divers can discover the spectacular underwater world along over 200 miles of coastline bordered by a coral barrier reef shielding lagoons. Divers can stay near the lagoons close to the shore, or the more adventurous ones might elect to pass the lagoons to where the ocean floor drops off. In the depths of the ocean lay caves and shipwrecks waiting to be explored.
When you are finished enjoying the beaches and ocean, EscapeWizard.com encourages you to visit Mahébourg in the south of the island. This city offers much to see and do including the National History Museum and the Naval Museum. Housed in a 19th century Creole mansion, the Naval Museum is home to fascinating naval memorabilia including a bell from the shipwrecked St. Géran. Another interesting museum is the Handicraft Museum, which displays crafts by local artisans. For more sightseeing, EscapeWizard.com recommends traveling near the Baie aux Tortues, which 17th century sailors named after the many tortoises in the area. There vacationers can find the ruins of the old Balaclava estate and explore the old sea walls.
To begin your shopping adventure, head to Flacq on the east coast of the island; it is one of the most important villages on the island and hosts one of the island’s largest open-air markets. If you want a traditional Mauritian shopping experience, visit Mahébourg Market and sample traditional food. Grand Bay, on the northern part of the island, is a shopper’s haven and has a collection of restaurants and bars.
The island comes alive at night, especially on the north and west coast where you can find several nightclubs, bars, and restaurants. Dance along as DJs spin pop, techno, or jazz or sample local or international cuisine from area restaurants. If you are looking for a relaxed way to spend an evening, EscapeWizard.com recommends taking a stroll along the beach and enjoying the view of the stars in the night sky.
Peaceful waters, tranquil breezes, fun activities, and adventurous experiences await you in Mauritius. This island nation and its major cities such as Balaclava and Mahébourg give vacationers a glimpse of paradise.
