Tailored experience
Mauritius, often likened to the Caribbean Islands, sits about 1,200 miles off the east coast of Africa, boasting 330 kilometres of stunning white beaches. The island is a paradise for beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts alike.
Nestled in Mauritius is the Rivière Noire (Black River) region, an area that, despite recent developments, maintains its serene charm as a quieter holiday spot, ideal for luxury getaways. This region is known for its exceptional white sandy beaches and is a haven for those seeking a more tranquil beach experience, away from the busier tourist spots. But Black River is not just about the beaches; it's also a hub for world-class fishing and a gateway to exploring historical sites.
Whether you're lounging on the beaches, casting a line for some fish, or exploring the historical landmarks, this part of Mauritius offers a unique and memorable holiday experience. It's a perfect destination for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere of Mauritius, away from the more frequented tourist areas.
Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
(Avg. monthly °C)
Mauritius is relatively small, but because there’s only one highway, travel can take a while. Car hire is an option but is recommended for confident drivers only due to the road conditions.
Buses operate in most of Mauritius, apart from the Plaine Champagne nature zone. There are express bus services but if you wish to reach your destination faster, it's best to choose other modes of transport.
The roads in Mauritius are generally very narrow lanes that wind through the countryside, so driving from A to B can be challenging, but it is perfectly possible to hire a car. You drive on the left-hand side in Mauritius and petrol is cheap. Taxis run on a metre and a printed fare schedule is available with the driver.
