Mauritius

Mauritius is sometimes referred to as “God’s Own Island in the Sun”. A name that seems fitting as there is a divine beauty to this luxury island retreat, cast adrift in the Indian Ocean.

Stroll along pearl-white beaches with the sapphire-blue waters of the Indian Ocean lapping at your feet. Dive or snorkel along coral reef teeming with rich marine life. Indulge in world-class restaurants and spas. Hike the island’s forest-cloaked interior. Whatever your Mauritian dream, Lightfoot Travel will create a luxury holiday that’s tailored entirely to your preferences and is as diverse and fascinating as the island itself.

The coastline plays host to some of the most exclusive resorts in the world, where impeccable service, supreme comfort, designer rooms and exquisite views come as standard. Laze around swimming pools, enjoy relaxation and pampering, and dine in gourmet restaurants where the cuisine is infused with flavours from Mauritiu’s diverse cultural influences.

From young families to honeymooners to multi-gen groups, there are plenty of fun beach activities to keep everyone occupied. The extensive watersports options include paddleboarding, kitesurfing and boat trips to unspoilt lagoons and islands, while the array of tropical fish make diving and snorkelling a dream. Away from the water, play a round of golf on a championship course or head into the island’s lush interior.

Inland, the rugged peaks are swathed in rainforest and gushing waterfalls flow down deep ravines. Hike to the tip of dormant volcanoes, explore Hindu temples and historic colonial mansions, take an aromatic journey along the tea route, and keep your eyes peeled for some of the rare species found here, from giant tortoises to pink pigeons and the Mauritian kestrel.
