Mauritius with The Westin Turtle Bay

Arrive at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport and receive your transfer to The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa in Balaclava. Check in and unwind on island time. You can take a relaxed stroll along the sandy beach, drink a fresh coconut, lounge beside the swimming pool, or explore the local market nearby. In the evening, watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean before enjoying dinner at the resort, followed by your overnight stay.

Have breakfast before heading out on a full-day North Island discovery tour. Begin at L'Aventure du Sucre, exploring a restored nineteenth-century sugar factory accompanied by a rum tasting. Ascend to Fort Adelaide for sweeping vistas over Port Louis and the harbour. Continue through the capital past China Town, the grand Catholic Church, the Mosque, the colonial High Court Building, and the Port Louis Theatre. Sample freshly made Dhol Puri at Port Louis Bazaar, walk around the Caudan Waterfront, and tour Aapravasi Ghat. Conclude at Château de Labourdonnais for a colonial mansion visit with juice and rum tasting before dinner and overnight at your resort.

Eat breakfast and journey south toward Grand Bassin (Ganga Talao), the sacred crater lake featuring a 108-foot statue of Lord Shiva. Drive across Plaine Champagne past the mist-covered Bassin Blanc crater. Reach the Valley of Colours to see 23 naturally occurring shades of earth, where you may take an optional Nepalese bridge crossing, zipline, or jeep ride, complete with a digital photo souvenir per couple. Continue to Floreal to shop for local handicrafts and spices, visit the Model Ship Factory to see hand-crafted miniatures, and take in the panoramic 360-degree views from Trou aux Cerfs before driving through Curepipe on your return for dinner.

Have breakfast at the resort before travelling to Belle Mare Plage for water sports activities. Board a speedboat transfer over to Île aux Cerfs to spend the day exploring white sand beaches and swimming in calm turquoise waters. Try water sports or snorkelling in the lagoon, stroll along the shore, and visit a scenic waterfall tucked within the island tour. Grab a seaside meal if you wish, and watch the waves before your transfer back to The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa for dinner and your final overnight stay.

Enjoy breakfast overlooking the ocean at the resort. Take a final stroll along the sand if time permits before checking out. Board your scheduled airport transfer to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport for your return flight to India, bringing your Mauritius holiday to an end.
