Mauritius is best known for its stunning beaches and for good reason. Soft white sands fringe the island with beaches and coves of perfection. Relax beneath gently swaying palms as the sun grants you a sun-kissed glow and the turquoise waters gently lap upon the beach during your Mauritius holiday. While you're there, there is plenty to do and see in Mauritius, but if you do just want to laze on the beach that's just fine too!
Golf is one of the major pastimes of Mauritius, with stunning golf courses available all over the island. The course at Le Touessrok is one of the most challenging on the island with long fairways and fast greens all in a stunning setting. For something a little simpler, but still enjoyably challenging, The Links at the Belle Mare Plage is perfect. Making the most of the volcanic rocks and wide spaces the course is a pleasure to play, with the water hazards on six of the holes creating a truly enchanting setting. If you are more of a novice than intermediate, the course at Saint-Gran is more suitable and is just as pretty.
The Ile aux Cerfs is ideal for those who wish to indulge in a little bit of water sports with snorkelling, kite boarding, wind surfing and parasailing. There is also the opportunity to take a power boat or catamaran cruise around the 600 acre island and its sumptuous beaches.
For other interesting excursions the Champs de Mars comes highly recommended. During the racing seasons the racetrack hosts eight races a day and the fervour builds throughout the evening to an exciting crescendo at the end of each race, shouting punters and the thrill of the race adding to the its appeal. Or visit Ganga Talao, a lake nestled in the crater of an extinct volcano, the Port Louis market or take to the waves on a deep sea fishing trip and see if you can catch yourself some dinner.
There is also the Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens, the oldest botanical gardens in the Southern Hemisphere or a trip on the Blue Safari submarine to get a close look at the underwater world without getting wet. They also have a sea scooter and some underwater guides will bring you octopodes and other sea creatures for you to have a closer look at - a great alternative way to see what lies beneath the waves if you aren't too keen on diving. If you are, the diving around Mauritius is plentiful with a stunning array of coral and marine life. Venture away from the beach on Mauritius holidays and you'll discover this island has much more to offer.
