Where to stay in Mauritius?

Well, the choice is difficult when there are number of options. The good news is there are resorts and hotels suiting for all the choices and pockets. Discounted rates are available if you are honeymooner.



It is the place to be if you love beach. Mauritius is surrounded by coral reef which keeps the waters calm near the shore.  Almost all the properties are beach front. You have to make a choice of location first. If you want to be near the market, areas like Grand Baie, Tamarin, Port Louis are better choice. Port Louis has famous Labourdonnais Waterfront and Le Suffren offering first class facilities in first class location within walking distance of shops, cinemas and restaurants. Most of the luxurious resorts are located in secluded properties. The best amongst them may be Le Touessrok – owners of the famous Ile aux Cerfs Island and Prince Maurice in the East Coast. West Coast has Oberoi and Hilton. One can choose colonial style Sugar BeachResort or Calodyne Sur Mer. Lux chain of hotels has resorts at Grand Gaube and Belle Mere in the North and Le Morne in the West. Some hotels like Veranda, formerly known as Paul & Virginie is very popular amongst regulars.
It is always advisable to take a half board package (breakfast and dinner) if you are traveling with family. Mauritius almost closes by 5 p.m. So start your day early.
Mauritian hotels offers variety of water sports activities. Try your hand on kayaking, paddle boating, kite surfing, snorkeling, etc. The most popular is glass bottom boat ride to the coral reef.
Happy traveling!
