You will need a taxi or rental car to get to the location. Predominantly local chinese food, recommend the seafood. Stunning setting, in colonial-style pavilions over the water. Great for a romantic dinner.

Head to the Mahebourg Waterfront for excellent fruit pickles (confits) and fresh coconuts from the street stall. Also try the "merveille", sort of a Mauritan version of the papadum. Eat with tamarind sauce or chilli/ coriander sauce.

A variety of products, mostly textile but also including shoes, table cloth, hair accessories, bags etc at really affordable prices. Advisable to bargain as prices are often not displayed and can vary for tourists. Quality will vary from one stall to another but a lot of the products are made for export so you can find high quality products at low prices. Also keep your belongings close as pickpockets can roam around - the market is usually quite packed and can be difficult to walk around, especially with children. Make sure to try the street food next door to the market. I recommend the rotis, dholl puri, alouda (drink), fried food like samosas, gateau piments and also pickled fruits

Getting Around

First preference for car rental, staff is friendly and professional. Cars are generally in good condition. Recommend renting a car as public transport is quite poor. Bikes are not very popular as can be dangerous.

Parks & Nature

This place absolutely is a must-see if you are in Mauritius. You can book speedboats or catamarans (shared) via several suppliers online. There are water sports offered at a cost when you get to the island. The prices may differ dramatically (tourist prices) so make sure to ask around before! Try snorkeling in the area (ask the skippers as they know the best locations!) but beware or sea urchins and corals. Bring lots of sunscreen, and make sure to wear hats/ cover shoulders to avoid sunburns! Find and book online or visit the information centre at Pasadena Shopping Centre.

It is one of the most iconic hikes on the island, with stunning views of the southwest corner of the island. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008 in recognition of its function as a refuge for freed slaves in the 19th and early 20th century. The trail to the minor summit is easy to follow and not very physically demanding. However, climbing is required to get to the true summit, and there are a few sections that are steep where using your hands is advisable. This second part is quite a difficult climb. Note: It is very exposed to the sun so an early start is recommended. Gates are sometimes closed for renovation, look up Yanature for guide (at a cost).

Trou aux Biches is one of my favourite beaches in Mauritius. Perfect conditions for swimming and snorkeling. The shallow and calm waters make it ideal for families with kids.
