Mauritius

Indian Ocean meets French savoir-faire

The brief

Mauritius — Indian Ocean meets French savoir-faire.

More resort-oriented than the Maldives or Seychelles, Mauritius is the family-stay Indian Ocean week we book most. One&Only Le Saint Géran for the multigenerational stay, Constance Prince Maurice for the gentler honeymoon. Pair with a few nights in Rodrigues for the truly off-grid chapter.

Direct flights from Europe, English- and French-speaking, and a Creole food culture all its own.
