List of 8 Reasons to Visit Mauritius

1. Jaw-dropping Beaches

If you are a beach person, then Mauritius is a holy grail for travelers like you. This island offers a variety of beaches. The north beaches are known for the classic white sand/azure water kind of beaches that adorn the brochures.

Moving south, the beaches become wilder and are suitable for surfers. Going west, you will find empty and long beaches with golden sand. The east beaches are more secluded and small, best for finding some quality time in one’s own company.

2. Intact Nature

Nature and Mauritius go hand-in-hand as the place is home to multiple extinct flora and fauna. Here, you will find a 300-year-old botanical garden called “Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden”. It is home to a giant lily pond and many native and endemic plants. Another enticing site is Trou aux Cerfs in Curepipe – a volcano crater surrounded by houses and very popular among joggers and walkers.

If you are looking to spend some time in the lap of nature with family, then Black River Gorges National Park is the perfect destination for you. Other protected forests include Plaine Sophie and Bras d’Eau National Park.

4. Indulge into Exotic Food

Good food and great places are the divine combination for a memorable trip, and food in Mauritius is one such food paradise in the world. The beauty of Mauritian cuisine is that it is a beautiful blend of Chinese, African, Indian, and French influence. You must try not only good restaurants but also its street food, which is a popular option. Our recommended list includes daube, fish vindaye, or chicken or fish kalia.

Another recommendation is the national dish of the country: dholl puri, a fusion of paratha and dal kachori. This puri is stuffed with yellow split peas served with vegetable curry and other toppings. Combine it with sweet kheer for a perfect meal of the day.

Lush greenery embraces the lake with a tight hug, but this beautiful lake has an Indian connection. It is believed that the water beneath the lake communicates with the holy river Ganga. Whether you wish to visit the place for religious belief or not, this place will surely steal a part of your heart with its enchanting beauty. When in Mauritius for a holiday, never miss this beautiful gem.
