Start in the north at Grand Baie’s lively waterfront before sailing to flat-topped Coin de Mire for snorkelling amid rainbow corals. Wander the capital Port Louis, tasting dholl puri and vanilla-scented street food, then drive past waving cane fields to the seven-coloured sands of Chamarel and the thunderous Chamarel Falls.

Glide along the south-east coast on a catamaran to Île aux Cerfs, kayak through mangrove-lined lagoons or hike Le Morne Brabant for a 360-degree view of the famous “under-water waterfall” illusion. End each day with a Sega drumbeat, a beach barbecue and a swizzle of local white rum.

Whether you’re planning a romantic hideaway, a multi-gen family break or a honeymoon that sparkles like a sapphire lagoon, Photine Travels delivers seamless transfers, curated resorts and memories as sweet as Mauritian cane.
