About Mauritius Nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean, south of Africa and east of Madagascar, this dreamy isle sits ideally between the Tropic of Capricorn and the equator, providing a perfect tropical climate all year round. Mauritius is the main island, from which the country derives its name. Of volcanic origin, it’s almost entirely surrounded by sheltering coral reefs. With hundreds of amazing passes with perfect waves, lefts and rights, short and long barrels and deep to hollow tubes, it’s a
surfer’s paradise and with numerous, vast lagoons to boot, there’s great sailing, diving and fishing diversity, too. There‘s no shortage of top spots, swells, lagoons or wind, but there has been a distinct lack of information about all these things
you-drop at Flacq‘s bustling open-air market, a vibrant and colorful marketplace full of fresh local products at great value. The island’s home to countless bars and restaurants. Check out the iconic Banana Bar in Grand Bay, which hosts both local and international artists, from jazz to soul. In the mood for dancing? The numerous nightclubs offer a great atmosphere where you can boogie the night away to the sounds of House, Dance and RnB music played by top DJs.
- until now! This comprehensive guide enables you to experience the range of stunning spots on our beautiful island for yourself. Take the swells and gentle sea breezes, add the impressive Indian Ocean climate, great coral reefs, large lagoons and a handful of quality breaks and you have the perfect surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing destination. The Unique Mauritian Culture is a blend of Indian, Chinese and Creole sweetness and spices with an influencing European History, in other words amazing local cuisine. Get a taste for the magical mélange of influences with a warm Dol Pourie, whether it’s on a street corner in Port Louis, from a delicious hotel buffet or à la carte at a well-reputed table d‘hôte in Chamarel. You‘ll find specialties everywhere you go, all worth a try. Shop-til-
The island boasts some of the world‘s most beautiful private and public beaches, fringed by swaying palms and lapped by crystalclear turquoise waters. Combine that with the magnificent, exotic sunsets and tropical vegetation of the various game reserves, national parks, private hunting estates and colonial houses such as St Aubin and Eureka where honeymooners can make their dreams come true and you‘ve got a winning formula. Golf fan? Mauritius is fast earning a reputation for being home to some of the world‘s most amazing golf courses. Its fantastic architectural designs by big names such as Ernie Els and Bernhand Langer offer avid golfers a challenging game. But whatever your handicap, you‘ll find somewhere to suit your needs, whether you‘re aiming for a hole in one at one of the top-class hotels or dodging the water hazards on the new Ile Aux Cerfs, you‘ll love putting your way through the stunning settings that are simply unbeatable. The Mauritius Open PGA attracts international and local professionals and many a celebrity has been spotted practicing their swing on the island‘s championship courses. Grand Bay is the place to head for catamaran cruises and sailing boats. Blue Bay and Black River offer amazing trips to nearby islands such as Coin De Mire, Ile Plate, Ile au Gabriel and Ile aux Bennitier. Famous spots for snorkeling and scuba diving include the famous Silver Star wreck and the Cathedral underwater cave. Mauritius and Rodrigues offer some of the world‘s best deep-sea fishing with
many experienced skippers and fishing boat owners, such as Tamarin local fishing legend, Jerome Moonsamy, aka Mr. Bull. Deep sea fishing is possible off the East, North and West coasts and the best operators are based in Black River and Trou aux Biches. The best months are the summer months (October to May.) Mr. Dominique Theveneau offers flyfishing and casting outings on reefs for individuals or small groups. Not forgetting the Mauritius Aquarium, home to 100‘s of tropical aquatic life and fish. If the sea doesn‘t float your boat, there are numerous land-based pursuits to participate in. Choose from inland adventure tours, sightseeing in four-wheeled drives, on mountain bikes or hiking (Yann De Maroussem from Yanaventures is a great hiking enthusiast who knows his way around the South), along with a wealth of other activities. The adventurous among you should head to Yemen Nature Park for great quad bike riding and abseiling close to the 3 Mamelles Mountains. The game reserve of Domaine Du Chasseur offers fabulous panoramic views and sunsets, while the magnificent Black River Gorges National Park is home to wonderful wildlife, where birdlovers can spy protected bird species such as
the pink pigeon, kestrels and rare forest trees. Photographers will love snapping away at the Vanilla Reserve des Mascareignes, home to Nile Crocodiles. If gardening‘s your thing, the Pamplemousse Garden is one of the oldest tropical gardens in the world, bursting with exotic flowers and tropical trees. If architecture‘s your kick, you won‘t be disappointed by the 1830 Eureka House or St Aubin Colonial House, The Ruins of Ballaclava or Martello Tower, illustrating intriguing history from early settlers. History buffs shouldn‘t miss the modern sugarcane exhibition of L‘Aventure Du Sucre and the Salt Pans of Tamarin, for fascinating facts about the slavery trade. Animal lovers can spend the day with wild stags, tigers and monkeys at Casela Bird Park, home to 140 bird species from five other continents. Set in 25 hectares of tropical vegetation, consisting of a wide variety of palm trees, bamboos, eucalyptus and colorful exotic flowers such as the hibiscus and orchids, you‘ll enjoy a gorgeouslyperfumed day. So, where do we all get this amazing history and mixed heritage from? Well, it all started back in the 10th century when the Arab navigators, already familiar with Mauritius, gave it the name of Dina Arobi but were not interest-
ed in settling. It was only rediscovered by the Portuguese in 1505, followed by the Dutch, who were believed to have caused the extinction of the famous Dodo which is now the emblem of Mauritius. Then came the French, who
“the country has attracted considerable foreign investment and has earned one of Africa’s highest per capita incomes” lost out to the British, before independence was attained in 1968. Since then, Mauritius has enjoyed a stable democracy with regular free elections (every five years). Along with a positive human rights record, the country has at-
tracted considerable foreign investment and has earned one of Africa’s highest per capita incomes. Due to poor weather in the last couple of years, the declining sugar prices have slowed economic growth, leading to some protests over standards of living in the Creole community, but tourism, textile and offshore investments are the other major economic contributors and Mauritius is one of the few countries which has been resilient throughout the global recession.

Focus on Since a very young age, I’ve had a camera in my hand. Photography has always been a passion of mine as it captures important moments in life. It’s with those photographs that you keep a living memory. Having studied in Canada showed me how vast photography can be. You can’t even imagine the amount of unexplored techniques yet. I had the chance learning the basics, from developing films in the darkroom to the digital world of today. It was a journey of knowledge.

I started Amaury Bouchet Photography in 2010 in Canada and moved back to Mauritius in 2012 to follow my passion as a freelance photographer. I am not the kind of photographer whose focus is only on one style of photography. I like variety and diversity. I believe that photography is crucial for any type of
project. Wherever you go, wherever you look, pictures are used as a fundamental method of marketing. Photography is an essential tool in real estate as it demonstrates the product and attracts the client’s attention through a visual… I’ve worked with homeowners, restaurants and interior designers to promote their work, which has allowed me to expand in this domain. I really enjoy this style of photography, as it demands a lot of technical adjustments. Everything from the design to the landscape to the lighting needs to be exact for end product to really sell. The most important thing to me is for the client to feel satisfied with the result. Photography was a passion before I decided to make it my everyday job. There is nothing like waking up every morning feeling great to go to work.
