"Mauritius, an island nation castaway 1,200 miles off the coast of Madagascar on the east coast of Africa, is a country back on track after emerging from two consecutive blows - an epic oil spill in 2020 and a throttling Covid lockdown which cut off its main source of income for two years. For nature lovers, the island is landscaped with verdant trails and with pirouetting birds - from lime-green Echo Parakeets to teal-capped Mascarene Paradise Flycatchers."
"It may not have the private island feel of the Maldives or the Indiana Jones giant fauna and tropical jungle of the Seychelles, but offers faultless service, activity (golf, and then some more golf, hiking and biking) and farm-to-table gastronomy. With its burgeoning boutique rum industry and host of emerging artisans - from textiles to ceramics - be sure to pack an empty suitcase for your return journey."
Mauritius rebounded from a major 2020 oil spill and a prolonged Covid lockdown to restore tourism and economic activity. The island features lush trails and endemic birds, offering nature-focused experiences alongside golf, hiking, biking and snorkeling. Culinary offerings emphasize farm-to-table dining and attract Michelin-calibre talent, while a growing boutique rum industry and emerging artisans produce textiles and ceramics. Accommodation spans internationally renowned luxury resorts and hands-on homegrown hotels that shape the tourist ecosystem. Premier properties line the coastline from Poste de Flacq in the northeast to Bel Ombre in the southwest, catering to couples, families and luxury travelers.
