Mauritius Island Loop
Split your stay between the north, east, and southwest to balance beaches, Port Louis history, and mountainous nature.
Although the island is not large, traffic jams and winding mountain roads are common. Staying in different regions is more time-efficient than doing day trips from a single base. Spend the first two days exploring the north and Port Louis, head to the east coast for a boat trip in the middle, and stay in the southwest for Chamarel and the Black River Gorges at the end. Perfect for self-driving couples and families visiting for the first time. This itinerary is sightseeing-oriented; if you prefer more beach time, consider staying an extra night at one of the coastal bases.
There is a risk of cyclones from January to March. Drive on the left, and avoid driving on mountain roads at night.
