Mauritius - more than Sun, Sand and Sea!

Saying that Mauritius is only sea, sun and beaches are an understatement, as numerous activities and entertainments are offered by hotel resorts. The activities range from water sports such as water skiing, wind surfing, glass bottom boat - tennis, beach volley and golf representing land sports. The evening entertainment includes dance shows of various cultural origin, live bands several nights a week, night club and casino.

More and more guests are taking a step outside the hotel to enjoy excursions around Mauritius. Over the past years these activities have improved considerably; especially in the field of adventure and "green" excursions. There is today a great number of domains and a reasonable choice of professionals for mountain biking, sea kayaking, mountain climbing and abseiling. Hiking in wonderful settings has also increased. New activities such as Kite surfing and Quad biking are becoming a hit in Mauritius. On the so-called "Eco-activities” bird watching are to be considered, as Mauritius has some of the rarest birds on Earth or a guided trip in Ferney Forest where some of the rare species of flora are unique in the world.

Other activities include:  Shopping with an incredible amount of treasures that await your discovery. A submarine trip “An experience of a life time” or enjoying a massage at one of the many wellness centers on the island.
The question is “What is more fun?  Staying on the beach or playing golf at one of the hotels; going to horse racing on Saturdays or having a kart race with your friends and relatives?

Besides the active nightlife around the larger hotels, one should check out one of the many restaurants, bars or discos around the island. Grand Bay would be considered the nightlife hub. Most clubs are open every night except Sundays but the real nights are Fridays, Saturdays and long weekends.
