Mauritius
Mauritius: More Than Just a Beach
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
Visa-free and just a short hop from India, Mauritius is famous for its lagoons — but its mountainous, waterfall-laced interior is the real surprise.
Beyond the beach
The rainbow dunes of Chamarel, the sacred crater lake of Ganga Talao, and the dramatic UNESCO peak of Le Morne.
Good to know
Rent a car to explore, snorkel the calm lagoons, and go May to December for the driest, most pleasant weather.
