All-Inclusive Mauritius Holidays

Tucked away in the southern Indian Ocean, just off the southeast coast of Africa, Mauritius is a little slice of paradise. Justly famous for its exquisite beaches, the small island also offers exciting marine-based activities and island exploration.

On an all-inclusive Mauritius holiday, you can bask in the knowledge that the essentials – meals, drinks and selected activities – have already been taken care of. This means you can focus on enjoying the delights of the island and making the most of your resort’s facilities. Going on all-inclusive holidays to Mauritius also helps you to stay within your budget, as you won’t need to spend much while abroad.

What activities can be enjoyed on all-inclusive Mauritius holidays?

Despite its small size – just an hour and a half’s drive from coast to coast – there are a host of activities to enjoy on the island of Mauritius. On an all-inclusive Mauritius holiday, your resort will likely offer a range of activities that are included in the price of your stay. So, you can balance time on the sand with water-based activities such as glass-bottomed boat trips and catamaran cruises, and there are many superb locations for snorkelling and scuba diving.

Explore the island’s lush, mountainous interior on one of the easy-to-follow hiking trails; you’ll walk through verdant jungle, passing waterfalls and forest-clad peaks. In the island’s bustling capital, Port Louis, graceful colonial buildings sit next to modern tower blocks, and its smart waterfront complex is where you will find the island’s best shopping.

Visit L'Aventure du Sucre in the north of the island to learn how sugar has shaped the island’s history. To the south, Ganga Talao is a place of pilgrimage for Hindus, with a lakeside temple and several smaller shrines to explore. Belle Mare, on the less-developed east coast, is one of the island’s most beautiful beaches. It’s a ten-kilometre stretch of unspoilt white sand fringed with palm trees, known for its upmarket hotels and superb diving sites.

The quiet village of Bel Ombre, to the south-west, is another popular spot with some excellent all-inclusive beach resorts. Backed by forest-clad mountains and a protected nature reserve, the area is fronted by a glorious lagoon that is a haven for snorkelling and water sports. Bel Ombre is also known for its top-tier golf courses, with several 18- and 9-hole courses to choose from.
