Mauritius; an island nation in the Indian ocean is known for its sparkling sandy beaches, lagoons and blushing corals, and is a popular vacation destination across the globe. This mildly tropical island is located on the eastern coast of Africa and is inviting tourists for an adventure-filled experience.

An Aquatic Adventure

Your visit to hotels like Anantara Iko Mauritius will only require short journeys between 1 hour and 15 minutes to indulge in the salty goodness of Mauritius beaches like Baie du Cap, Flic en Flac and Le Morne. Your aquatic adventures on the island are not just limited to a walk by the beach but can be experienced in the forms of seaplane rides for a bird’s eye view, sea walking for an underwater excursion of the marine life, water skiing, kayaking, windsurfing and many more.

A Hike to The Mountain Tops

Vacations at Mauritius resorts pave way for a sense of thrill in a hiker’s heart. Follow the clear and rocky trails of the mountains and witness the hillside bliss of the island. Appreciate the breathtaking views of forests, wildlife and landscapes as you hike up the Black River Mountain, the highest of all, and savour the view of the entire south and west coasts of the island. For an easier and more convenient climb, choose Le Pouce Mountain.

A Vibrant Culture to Explore

The Mauritian culture is weaved together in African, European, Chinese and Indian heritages. These cultural influences are infused in Mauritian cuisine and music. Brace yourselves for a spicy ride of rich seafood and chilli at Mauritian restaurants and street markets, while dancing to the tunes of Creole based Seggae music, a fusion of Sega and Reggae.

Appreciate Nature

The nature strolls in Mauritius are not just a walk in the park. The nerve gripping lion walk is a popular activity that tourists engage in. As you walk alongside the jungle’s mightiest creatures, a glimpse into its daily routines of how they feed themselves, play with each other and roam about the forest will be your reward. However, if thrilling adventures are not your cup of tea, simply take a walk in the many nature and leisure parks on the island.
