    The east coast of Mauritius, Mauritius

  • The east coast of Mauritius

    On both sides of Flacq, the east coast has hotels that are usually of very good quality. They lie at the edge of beautiful beaches. Be aware, however, that the east coast receives twice as much rain as the west coast.However, the place is ideal for sunbathing actively and hotels offer all kinds of water sports, and you should also visit the Ile aux Cerfs to take advantage of the mini-cruise and discover the lagoon with mask and snorkel. For shopping and outings in the city, you need to go to Port Louis (27 miles away).If you prefer to make these trips without going in a group, you can rent a car or take the bus the same day. The rates for car rentals are relatively high and you should not forget that in Mauritius, driving is on the left. Take a taxi for the day, it is not as expensive as we imagined, it will cost about £50, and there is always the possibility of negotiating the rate with the driver. Another advantage of this service is that your driver will also act as a guide and will gladly show you Mauritius off the beaten track.

Destination overview

As far as beaches are concerned, it is one of the most fashionable destinations of the Indian Ocean; so popular that you sometimes find it hard to find a room during the high season (November to March). Inland, it is a cultural kaleidoscope nestled in a lush green setting. Mosques, Hindu and Tamil temples and churches coexist peacefully and harmoniously. Take your time exploring the island, either by bus, car or bicycle. To feel completely alone in the Indian Ocean, take a trip to Rodrigues...

pros

  •  The high standards in hotels.
  •  The warmth of the Mauritian people.
  •  The stunning and varied scenery.
  •  Varied activities outside the hotel walls.

cons

  •  There is less and less natural wild coast.
  •  Traffic jams in Port-Louis and in the northern part of the island.

Mauritius Holidays in Mauritius, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

In order to make the most of the warm and humid Mauritian summer, it is preferable to go between December and March. Although this is hurricane season, they rarely strike the island. The best time to go is December. The weather is hot, dry and sunny everyday. Most Mauritian students return for the holidays from the various surounding countries they are sent to, to study. Mauritius becomes lively and animated once more as everyone livens ups for the summer holidays! The North of the island is the warmest and dryest and most lively, especially around Grand Baie. If however visitors are looking for something a little calmer and more authentic, then Grand Baie should be avoided at all costs.
