Flights to Mauritius

Flights to Mauritius take you to a speck in the ocean 1,200 miles off the coast of Africa. Once you get your holiday started, you’ll soon see that this is something of a treasure island. But its loot is natural rather than manufactured. For starters, the country is circled by 330 miles of Caribbean-quality beaches, and flights touch down a matter of minutes from the closest one. One minute you’ll be swooping high above the Indian Ocean, and the next you’ll be checking into one of the luxury hotels planted on its tropical sands. The huge coral reef gives the world’s best scuba diving spots a run for their money, and the coves and beaches in the north are well-suited for kitesurfing. Then there are the national parks. A 40-minute drive from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, where flights to Mauritius land, is Black River Gorges. Six centuries ago, this forested land was home to the dodo. These days, it still provides refuge for endangered species like the pink pigeon. Mauritius’ bounty continues with its eclectic cuisine. Menus in the country fuse creole cookery with Indian and French gastronomy. Flights from the UK travel direct from London Gatwick to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport.
