Overview
Mauritius offers a more grounded and active alternative to pure beach destinations like the Maldives.

Pros
- Luxury resorts with exceptional service
- Mountainous nature combined with coral reef beaches
Cons
- Beaches can suffer from strong trade winds on the east coast during the southern winter
- Limited nightlife options
