The charm of an off-the-beaten-track holiday
For the seasoned traveller, there is always an innate desire to find destinations to visit that are well beyond the obvious. The allure of an off-the-beaten-path adventure beckons those with an insatiable curiosity, a longing for exclusivity, and a yearning to delve into the heart of the underappreciated.
One of the most enticing aspects of these hidden havens lies in the sense of exclusivity that they offer. Situated far from the throngs of tourists and visitors, these nondescript destinations provide an intimate setting that allows travellers to connect with their surroundings on a deeper level. Whether it’s a near-untouched stretch of sand or a secluded mountain retreat up in the Alps, the privacy and tranquillity gained from travelling to and staying in these locales is not something you can find in any other popular destination.
As the world becomes more interconnected, the attraction of the less visited becomes almost palpable. And not many destinations in the world emulate exclusivity and opulence like the island paradise of Mauritius.

Timing is everything
The best time to visit Mauritius depends on your own preferences but generally, the recommended months to visit are from May to December when the weather is cooler and drier — making it an ideal time to do outdoor activities and exploration.
Transport in Mauritius
Upon arrival to the islands, your best bet is to rent a car to get around. This way, you can have the freedom to explore at your own pace and reach places that tourists generally do not visit often. Alternatively, relying on a reputable tour operator is another great way to get guided excursions around the island’s must-see attractions, as well as activities to do in Mauritius.
Luxury accommodations are the way to go

Don’t miss out on the chance to try traditional Creole dishes that can be found in the form of tantalising dishes all the way to opulent fine dining experiences. Otherwise, immersing yourself in the classic Mauritian culture is one of the best activities you can do on the island. For instance, engaging with the warm-hearted locals, exploring local markets, watching traditional dance performances, or learning about the history of the islands through museums and cultural landmarks.
