Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Savor the relaxed rhythm of life at Île aux Bénitiers, a serene island just off Mauritius’ southwest coast. Nestled in a lagoon near Le Morne, the island spans 2 kilometers in length and 500 meters in width. It's an ideal spot to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle. A day trip here revolves around enjoying a picnic on the sparkling beach, observing the local birdlife, and visiting the quaint coconut plantation. You can snorkel through the lagoon to explore the unique Crystal Rock, shaped like a clam, or simply relax on the soft, white sands. That’s about as strenuous as it gets!
