A successful Mauritius trip depends a lot on choosing the right resort area, because distances between parts of the island and activities can affect your daily schedule.
Choose the area
Compare how close the resort is to the beaches and activities you want, rather than choosing a hotel without looking at the map.
The beach
Beach and swimming quality vary from place to place, so check recent photos and reviews.
Meal plan
If the resort is far from restaurants, half board or an all-inclusive plan can be practical.
Honeymoons
Look for privacy, views, dining experiences, a spa and room options.
Families
Check the kids' club, suitable rooms, activities and easy beach access.
Tips before booking
- Compare the final cost, not just the starting price.
- Review the cancellation and change policy before paying.
- Keep a copy of your bookings and travel documents on your phone and in your email.
- For anything related to visas or entry, check the official source again before you travel.
