Prime romance on an island rich in heritage, elegant beaches and bountiful coral reef. Amble through past and present culture in the capital and reward faith at churches, mosques and temples. Island hop, sip champagne to soft jazz and nibble spicy fish curry under palm-thatched roofs. Discover fields of sugar cane, drift off on frangipani-fragrant shorelines and take respite from the heat on guided mountain hikes. Peek into botanical gardens and step back in time to inspect the Blue Penny. And discover hidden talents soap-crafting, pottery making, beekeeping and rum tasting. Mauritius is more of a mindset than an island.
