Why Mauritius is worth travelling to with Skyship Adventure
Holidays on the white beaches of Mauritius
On this tropical island, nature has not limited itself to the whiteness of the beaches and the blue of the sea: there are landscapes of every colour in nature.
The island was created by a volcanic eruption and its nature is unpredictable, like the patterns of frozen lava. There are mountains rising above the sea at an unimaginable angle of forty-five degrees, an azure sea, sand dunes, waterfalls and lakes.
The city of Port Louis doesn’t look much like the slumbering capital of an island nation. It looks more like a modern metropolis, from which the hustle and bustle has been taken out, the volume reset and placed in a bay with snow-white beaches and rocks from which the wind has been blowing rock for hundreds of thousands of years, gradually turning it into stone lace.
The historical architecture of the town and its surroundings, on the one hand, seems quite typical colonial, but on the other hand is bizarre: there is a good two-storey house with a hundred doors, and the castle of Mont Plaisir, which has much more in common with a bungalow than with the Petrine palace.
However, it is possible not to fuss at all, and just lie on the snow-white coast and watch tanned islanders dancing and singing sega – their rhythmic melodies sound as if young Cesaria Evora would suddenly sing in major and about joy. Mauritius, after all, is all about happiness.
