Port Louis is the capital city of Mauritius, located on the North-West Coast.
Port Louis’ picturesque central market continues to be a meeting point for Mauritians looking for a «cari» (curry) or «dithé» (tea). Here, you will find all the ingredients that help to create the charm of Mauritius: local crafts, vegetables, famous «dholl purris» as well as herbal tea sellers. Built in 1844, the market is currently being renovated.
Enjoy a scenic and affordable visit to Port Louis’ Chinatown. The sellers of boiled chow mein and fish balls form part of the picturesque scene, in an area where you can find almost anything at a reasonable price.
In recent years, the Caudan Waterfront has become an unmissable stop for those who want to have a taste of the best of Mauritius. Offering more than just rows of shops and restaurants, Caudan Waterfront also enables you to discover Mauritian expertise in all fields as you stroll around the area. From fast food to gourmet cooking, jewellery to local crafts, there is everything to suit all tastes.
Invigorate yourself. Go mountain climbing or explore nature with Mauritius’ forests, plants and native flowers. Enjoy the spectacular beauty of the waterfalls, or have a breathtaking adventure going down them. Take in the spectacular views on foot, by bike or by kayak, or go trekking through the fields, rivers and forests on all-terrain quad bikes, and discover the magnificent views of the south-eastern coastal regions. Adventure also means sharing the thrill of game hunting in the south-east of the island, where many stags, does and boars roam freely on grounds of 900 hectares, covered with tropical forests. The main tour operators of the island have included in their packages a “nature” element which all manage to reveal a few spectacular sites, so that green Mauritius can now be discovered at any pace .
