Mauritius – Beaches

During a helicopter tour we photographed the different coastal regions and beaches of the island of Mauritius. From a bird’s eye view, all the beauty of the beaches in Mauritius can be seen.

From the helicopter perspective we have a beautiful view of the coastal landscapes of the island of Mauritius. From up here you can clearly see the different colors of the sea. In the area near the beach, the water has a turquoise tone. Behind it, the colour of the water changes to a deep blue colour. The sandy beaches in the north of the island of Mauritius are bright white and fine-grained.

Fantastic beaches surround the small hotel and resort complexes (also on the picture below you can see a complex in the north of the island of Mauritius).

The hotel complex has its own private sheltered marina. Motor yachts for deep-sea fishing can also be chartered from here. An ideal starting point for deep-sea anglers who want to go on the Blue Marlin. Many records have been set in deep sea fishing in Mauritius. The location in the middle of the Indian Ocean, a good 2000 km off the coast of Africa, ensures a real abundance of fish. The island of Madagascar is just under 800 km away.

The island has an area of about 1900 square kilometers and a length of 64 km and a width of 47 km. The dimensions are therefore very manageable and you can easily circumnavigate the island by car in one day. There is also enough time to look around the beautiful beaches or sunbathe. However, it is recommended to plan enough time to explore the island. We took a rental car and made stopovers on several days at different points on the island.

In this way, you get to know the island in all its beauty and also have the chance to get in touch with the inhabitants, which is a real experience. The friendly, cheerful people transfer their positive attitude to life to the traveler in no time.
