Your guide to exploring Mauritius, beaches, attractions, activities, itineraries, hidden spots, and travel tips.
Travel If you think Mauritius is nothing but manicured lawns, infinity pools, and cocktails with little umbrellas, you clearly haven’t been to the southeast coast. Sitting about five kilometers off the shore of Mahebourg, in the choppy embrace of the Grand Port Bay, lies a jagged piece of coral rock that looks like the set of […]
Travel Most people come to Mauritius to flop onto a sun lounger, hold a cocktail that costs more than their lunch, and not move for seven days. And that is fine. We all need to recharge. But if you spend your entire holiday fighting for a beach towel radius at a resort, you are missing the […]
Travel Snow is pretty to look at from a window while you are holding a mug of cocoa, but having to shovel it out of your driveway at 6 AM is less charming. If you are tired of wearing three layers of thermal underwear just to buy a pint of milk, perhaps it is time for […]
Travel If you have spent the last few days of your holiday lounging by a pool that is bluer than the sky, sipping cocktails, and wondering if real life actually exists anymore, we have a reality check for you. And it is a glorious, loud, colorful reality check. Welcome to Central Flacq Market. Located in the […]

Travel There are two types of people who visit Mauritius. There are those who are content to sit on a sun lounger, rotating occasionally like a rotisserie chicken to get an even tan. Then there are those of us who look at the ocean and think “I wonder what is happening down there?” If you are […]
Travel If you asked a child to draw a tropical beach, they would probably draw Belle Mare. It has all the clichés in the best possible way: powder-white sand that stretches for miles, water so blue it looks like Gatorade, and casuarina trees that whisper in the breeze (or maybe they are just gossiping about the […]
Travel When you picture Mauritius, you probably imagine turquoise water, white sand, and swaying palm trees. You likely do not picture yourself in a scene from a crime thriller, running away from a villain in a high-speed boat chase. And you would be right. Mauritius is widely known as one of the safest destinations in Africa. […]
Travel If you are Mauritian, there is a very high chance that your Sunday lunch involves a curry, your playlist includes at least one Bollywood track (even if it’s an oldie), and you have a relative who swears they know the exact village in India your great-great-grandfather came from. At Creole Mauritius, we love celebrating our […]
Travel Let’s be honest for a second. When most people plan a trip to our beautiful island, they picture themselves lying horizontal on a beach, a cocktail in one hand and a samosa in the other. And while we fully support that lifestyle here at Creole Mauritius, sometimes you need to trade the flip-flops for sneakers […]
