Make authentic local connections
I was born and raised in Mauritius, since an early age I have been involved in tourism. Through the years I’ve seen Mauritius grow as a world-renowned destination for our beautiful sea side resorts and pristine beaches and that is all, pretty much.
As a local, I knew there was more Mauritius could offer to a traveller. I wanted to introduce Mauritius to visitors as a local friend would do, the authentic way so that they too could see all the beauty in nature, traditions and landscapes that only locals know.
Nestled on the shores of Mauritius, Port Louis, the vibrant capital, seamlessly weaves history and modern life. Its bustling markets, like the iconic Central Market, offer a glimpse into local culture, while colonial architecture and cultural landmarks tell stories of the island’s past.
