Mauritius’ Portuguese history and Creole influences mean the destination enjoys a unique confluence of cultures, attracting tourists who seek more than beautiful beaches and clement weather. The island has also become a top destination for gastronomy, with tourists taking the opportunity to try the local cuisine or world-class dishes at resort restaurants.
As well as being the ideal destination for beach lovers, the island also accommodates tourists who seek adventure. The lush inland forests and volcanic terrain provide the perfect location for hiking. Tourists can take to a four- legged mode of transport in the form of horse riding, or can jump on a bike to explore the remote beaches.
