The island of Mauritius is surrounded by some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world. Their beauty comes in many forms, from the calm and idyllic ocean expanse to rocky cliffs with crashing waves. Whether you want to relax in the sun before calm blue waters, walk along smooth miles of sandy peace or watch the powerful motion of the sea, you will be satisfied.
With this wonderful variety of beaches comes a multitude of different activities. All of your favourite water sports will be but a stone's throw away from your hotel. Whether it's waterskiing or yachting, kayaking or windsurfing, you can have fun until your drop. Not to mention the wonders of the Mauritian underwater world. Pristine coral reefs provide the most spectacular array of fish and natural beauty. You don't have to be a diver; snorkelers too can view with awe or, if you really don't want to get wet, from a submarine.
In the North of the island you will find a wealth of water sporting attractions right up to deep-sea fishing. In the evening chill at a trendy bar along to the tune of the waves and the sea breeze air. Then later get set to experience the lively island restaurants and clubs.
The Western beaches are known for their surfing fun. You can even attend a few classes and enjoy the thrill of this sport for the first time. The West is the place for those magnificent sunsets that words cannot describe.
In the South, the variety of this wonderful little island is highlighted with steep cliffs and crashing waves. Breaks in the reef allow the full force of the ocean to reach the Mauritian shores. It's a dramatic contrast and a thrilling experience.
The East of the island is less developed with virtually untouched lengths of beach wrapping the lagoon and shaded by casuarinas trees. Nature surrounds you.
Mauritius offers a choice of wonderful beach experiences. Visit a few and soak up the warmth of this island.
