Mauritius is home to just one major city - Port Louis, as well as four towns and more than one hundred villages - so we recommend starting with the city if you intend to travel there. From there on you can easily make your way north if you’re going to stay on the beaches of the north coast - Trou aux Biches for example, or south to the likes of Flic en Flac beach, Vaccoas-Pheonix, the south coast and the Black River Gorges National Park. If you feel like exploring one of the island’s historical sites then we suggest taking to the east coast and spending a day or two in Vieux Grand Port - where you can explore the ruins of some of the island’s first settlements, as well as lounging on some of the more rustic beaches that Mauritius has to offer. Of course if you’re travelling to Mauritius for a honeymoon then you might just want to head for the most beautiful beach that you can find and stay there.
