The perfect island destination for adventure and relaxation, Mauritius is ideal for solo travellers too and here’s more on what to expect.
Beaches & Safe Accommodation
The beaches here are truly divine and are well-suited for spending lazy days in the sun or engaging in water sports; options include the Trou aux Biches, Belle Mare and Le Chaland beaches; the latter is also where you will find safe accommodation at properties like Anantara Iko Mauritius Resort & Villas with plenty of dining and wellness options and fun activities.
Exciting Water Sports & Adventures
For active solo travellers heading to Mauritius, resorts by the ocean offer a range of water sports to try; enjoy underwater encounters when snorkelling or diving or try kayaking, kitesurfing and paddleboarding. On land, you can go hiking at the La Vallée de Ferney Nature Reserve, visit the Seven Coloured Earth of Chamarel and feel the rush of zip-lining amidst a rainforest too!
Cultural and Culinary Discoveries
For cultural experiences, explore the former capital, Mahébourg, home to Creole-style wooden houses and the National History Museum. You can also tour rum distilleries and visit sacred sites like the Kwan Tee Pagoda and Grand Bassin Temple. Don’t forget to enjoy foodie tours savouring authentic Creole cuisine, while some resorts even offer local cooking classes worth taking.
Holistic Wellness & Wellbeing
Solo trips provide the perfect opportunity to get some time for yourself and be pampered too! Resort spas in Mauritius feature various treatments and personalised programmes and can have everything from a traditional hammam and Ayurveda therapies to a beauty salon. Beachside properties also offer a serene setting to enjoy yoga, meditation or Tai Chi classes.
