Mauritius
7-Day Mauritius Holiday — Island Discovery & Leisure Escape
This itinerary is built around a different idea — three guided days showing you the best of the island's culture, nature and coastline, balanced with two full leisure days where nothing is scheduled. It's the rhythm most travellers actually want: enough to feel like you've experienced a place, and enough space to rest in it.
package highlights

- Full leisure day — beach, resort, or explore independently

Your journey, clearly mapped
Everything you need to know

Day 3
Leisure Day — The Island at Your Own Speed

Day 4
South Mauritius — Grand Bassin & Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth

Day 5
Île aux Cerfs — Full Day on the Island
- • A speedboat off the east coast to Île aux Cerfs — a small island in one of the region’s most beautiful sheltered lagoons — for a full day to swim, walk the island, or do absolutely nothing.

- Île aux Cerfs’ white shores and crystal lagoon — and the beach days this itinerary gives you time to actually enjoy
Day 6
