1. Black River Gorges National Park

If you’re craving nature, Black River Gorges is your playground. Think sweeping viewpoints, verdant valleys, and trails that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a tropical movie set. Keep your eyes peeled for rare birds fluttering through the canopy, you never know what you’ll spot.
2. Port Louis

Welcome to Port Louis—the buzzing heartbeat of Mauritius. Here, you can wander from colorful street markets cooled by a canopy of umbrellas to sleek waterfront cafés in just a few minutes. Snack your way through local treats or dive into the city’s past at its museums. It’s lively, a little chaotic, and completely charming.
3. Le Morne Brabant

Le Morne Brabant is one of those places that makes you say “Is this even real?” This towering basalt cliff sits right on a sparkling lagoon and offers some of the best views on the island— that is, if you’re up for the hike! Beyond the jaw-dropping scenery, it’s also packed with history, making it a spot where natural beauty and culture collide.
4. Chamarel

Chamarel is where nature gets a little artsy. The famous Seven Colored Earths look like someone spilled a giant box of crayons on the ground. Add in the thunderous Chamarel Waterfall and you’ve got a double-dose of wow. Wander around, take a million photos, and soak in the magical vibes of this volcanic wonderland.
5. Île aux Cerfs

If paradise had an address, it would be Île aux Cerfs. Just a short boat ride from the east coast of Mauritius, this little island offers serenity. Think soft white sand under your feet, crystal-clear turquoise waters all around, and swaying palms overhead. You can spend the day lounging on the beach with a tropical drink in hand, dive into snorkeling adventures to spot a kaleidoscope of colorful fish, or try your hand at watersports like parasailing, water skiing, or stand up paddle boarding.
