Best places to visit in Mauritius
- Balaclava: Visit the city of Balaclava and be guaranteed a dream holiday. Towards the beautiful northern side of the Island, it is peppered with stunning tourist resorts. With several private beaches as well as the famous Pereybere Beach, it has a buzzing nightlife with restaurants, clubs and bars and is perfect for young and old alike.
- Flic en Flac: A city that is built around the longest, most popular beach in Mauritius. Based on the west of the island, it has several hotels that offer great accommodation and entertainment. Although popular with tourists, it is less common than Balaclava. As a self-contained town, Flic en Flac is perfect for holidaymakers that want to take it easy and not travel too much during their stay.
- Port Louis: Ex-French colonial Port Louis is a city with history, culture and beautiful beaches. With resorts all along the beach fronts, the harbour of Port Louis lies between coral reefs and mountains. Port Louis is both exciting as a nightlife destination and relaxing as a holiday destination. With plenty to do and see every day, Port Louis is a worldwide favourite.
