Begin your day with a peaceful visit to Marie Reine de la Paix, a hilltop chapel offering one of the most beautiful panoramic views over Port Louis. Surrounded by gardens and open sky, this quiet landmark is an ideal place to start your cultural journey and capture memorable photographs of the capital.
Continue to Kaylasson Temple, one of the most colourful and artistic Tamil temples in Mauritius. Admire its intricate sculptures, vibrant towers and traditional South Indian architecture. Your driver will give you time to explore the exterior, observe the details of the carvings and enjoy the spiritual atmosphere of this sacred place.
Your next stop is L’Aventure du Sucre, located in a beautifully restored sugar factory. This self guided visit reveals the island’s sugar history, from cultivation to rum making, through interactive exhibits and preserved industrial machinery. The visit also includes a tasting of different types of sugars and rums, allowing you to experience authentic Mauritian flavours.
After the museum, take a relaxing break at Mahogany Shopping Promenade, a modern open air mall surrounded by greenery. Here you can enjoy optional lunch at one of the many restaurants, try local snacks, or explore the boutiques and artisan shops at your own pace.
The cultural experience continues with a visit to Maheswarnath Mandir, one of the oldest and most respected Hindu temples in Mauritius. Known for its bright architecture and peaceful energy, this temple offers an insight into local traditions, rituals and the spiritual heritage of the island. You will have time to walk around the courtyard, take photos and appreciate its historical significance.
End your day with pure relaxation at Mont Choisy Beach, one of the longest and most beautiful beaches in the north. Its calm turquoise lagoon is perfect for swimming, sunbathing or simply unwinding under the filaos trees. Enjoy free time on the beach before the return transfer to your accommodation.
This experience combines culture, history, flavours and beach time, giving you a complete and balanced discovery of northern Mauritius. It is ideal for travellers who want to explore the island’s heritage while still enjoying a refreshing moment by the sea.
