10 days in Mauritius. That’s how long it takes to truly experience the island, rather than just skimming the surface. To travel from the lagoons of the north to the rugged cliffs of the south, without ever feeling like you’re rushing. Here’s how Evasea envisions these ten days.
Mauritius in 10 Days: A Relaxed Pace Is Key
What to do in Mauritius in 10 days? The best approach is to structure your trip around two boat trips, a day spent in nature, and plenty of free time with no set schedule.
Staying in two different regions—the north and east, or the west and south—lets you experience a variety of atmospheres without feeling overwhelmed. Each coast tells a different story about the island. And with Evasea, every day can be enriched with experiences you won’t find in any standard guidebook.
Days 1–4: Settle in, relax, and explore the North
Upon arrival, check into your 5-star hotel or private villa, and take your first steps into the lagoon. The following days begin with a full day on the northern islands, between wild beaches and crystal-clear waters, followed by snorkeling around the famous Coin de Mire, teeming with tropical fish and, with a little luck, an encounter with a turtle. Between days of relaxation or sightseeing, explore the lagoon on a jet ski for an adrenaline rush against the blue backdrop.
Days 5–7: Change of scenery—heading west or east
A second accommodation option, a whole new atmosphere. It’s up to you to decide which one you prefer. The West is a playground for ocean lovers. Set out early in the morning to swim with dolphins—with the utmost respect for the animals—then let the day unfold with gourmet dining with your feet in the sand and unforgettable sunsets. Evasea also offers you access to a private rooftop overlooking the horizon, just for the two of you. For families, breakfast with the giraffes at Casela Park will be a memory to cherish for young and old alike.
The east reveals its pristine beaches and offers the chance to explore the islands of the southeast, from Île aux Cerfs to Île aux Aigrettes.
Days 8–10: Nature, culture, and a relaxing finale
For the more adventurous, a hike to hidden waterfalls accompanied by a local guide who knows every hidden trail on the island, or a climb up Morne Brabant with its breathtaking view of the lagoon. The Morne area is also the setting for experiences that Evasea particularly loves: a horseback ride along the water’s edge at sunrise, or an underwater photo session in the lagoon to capture the magic of the moment.
For the rest, spend a morning at the Port-Louis market to soak up the Creole spirit, and why not end your stay with some true relaxation at the spa before a final glass of champagne at sunset?
Variations based on your profile
For couples, treat yourselves to a starry night on a private catamaran and dinner on a deserted beach.
For families, opt for transparent kayak excursions and a cultural tour of Grand Bassin.
If it rains, the covered markets in Quatre Bornes and the nature lodges in the hills offer great alternatives.
Entrust these 10 days to Evasea and your private concierge will tailor every step to your preferences.
