The best places to stay in Mauritius

Mauritius is often referred to as an ideal tourist destination due to its pleasant weather, abundance of absolutely stunning beaches, and a pleasant way of life. The number of tourists visiting Mauritius each year is consistently increasing, indicating that the island's tourism industry is booming.

The North regions of Mauritius compared to other areas in the island. It’s more tourist-oriented and brimming with several hotels, restaurants, malls, nightlife and activities.

Untouched by mass tourism, the western region of Mauritius is authentic and soothing and is the mixture of landscape between impressive mountain peaks and ranges, sugar cane fields and the beautiful coastline. Apart from its beaches, the West has a lot to offer

In the south, the area is wild and rugged and mountainous with a quieter and more relaxed vibe. The beaches are slightly wilder and with no protecting reef, there are larger waves and sea-sculpted cliffs.

The east coast is less developed with just a few exclusive hotels lining the shore and private islands set in the large crystal-clear lagoons and it's for those seeking a place to get away from the crowds.

The centre of the island stands out completely from the coastal region with a cooler climate, being located on higher altitude. Unexpectedly, it houses a large part of the Mauritian forest and green areas outside the cities. All the towns of the country are located there: Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill, Quatre-Bornes, Vacoas/Phoenix, and Curepipe.
