Five Of The Best Beaches In Mauritius By Claire Bryant At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

It is renowned as an upmarket winter sun destination, and any luxury holiday in Mauritius will inevitably focus on the beaches. They remain the island’s greatest attraction, seemingly endless stretches of white sand and turquoise sea that prompted Mark Twain to comment that “you gather the idea that Mauritius was made first, and then heaven; and that heaven was copied after Mauritius.”

If you are on holiday in Mauritius, the only challenge you’ll find is in choosing between the many beaches on offer! Whether you want the hustle and bustle of one of the island’s “party beaches” or a more secluded place to relax, you are sure to find a place to suit your needs – here are five of the finest beaches to visit whilst on holiday in Mauritius…

Ile aux Cerfs

For a very different experience away from the crowds, catch a boat over to Cerfs, a small island just off the east coast of Mauritius. The Ile aux Cerfs beach runs almost around the entire coastline, and the quiet beaches provide the perfect place to relax on a luxury Mauritius holiday. You can catch a boat to the island from Pointe Maurice, and if you are on holiday in Mauritius the island is well worth paying a visit to.

Trou aux Biches

Trou aux Biches, located on the island’s popular west coast, is the ideal beach for a family holiday in Mauritius. The gorgeous beach itself is complemented by the local attractions – the excellent aquarium and Hindu temple are great places to visit with your family, and the stunning sunset provides the perfect conclusion to a day spent lounging on the sands.

Pereybere

The deep waters at Pereybere beach make it perhaps the best beach for swimming on the island, and the calm surf make it perfectly safe for families. It is popular with young people on holiday in Mauritius and is something of a party beach, so those looking for peace and quiet could struggle here. But for the best snorkelling swimming and a vibrant atmosphere, it has hard to better Pereybere.

Flic en Flac

Visit the bizarrely named Flic en Flac (Dutch for flat and free land) on the west coast of Mauritius, and you’ll be treated to one of the best sunsets on the island. Flic en Flac is picture perfect, with powder white sand and a deep blue lagoon, but recent developments of apartments and condos mean that it is relatively well populated. Still, if you don’t mind the crowds, Flic en Flac remains one of the most beautiful beaches in Mauritius.

Paradis

This beach remains fairly exclusive to the guests at the Paradis Hotel (it is hard to get to unless you are staying at the hotel) but if you choose to take a luxury holiday in Mauritius here, you’ll be in for a treat – this beach truly lives up to its name. With rocky mountains looming over the flawless beach and a golf course located a stones throw away, this is the beach of choice for those who like to relax in style.
