The busy life of today has taken the fun out of living. Long working hours, meetings, and appointments make life dull and boring. Such a life is similar to that of a machine, with the sole difference being that machines have no feelings.
Therefore, one must take some time off from work to relax those overworked nerves, and take some time to enjoy life with one’s friends and family. What better way to relax than a vacation on an island with the ones we hold near and dear?
Mauritius is one such island fit for the purpose of rest and relaxation. There are many tourist attractions in Mauritius, and since its independence in 1968 the government of Mauritius has stressed the tourism trade to promote their country, and moreover make it a piece of heaven on earth.
Natural beauty is one of the main features of the Island. There are tons of attractions and sights, including beaches, parks, hotels, and gardens, worth seeing in Mauritius. A few examples of these spectacular places are listed below.
One of the best attractions in Mauritius is the Royal Botanical Gardens of Pamplemousses. They are famous for their immense beauty and collection of exotic plants. Mauritius had been under the control of the French, British, and Portuguese, and this garden dates back to the French period. The Casela Bird Park is home to more than 140 species of birds, and is an excellent place to visit for nature lovers.
Another awesome place to visit in Mauritius is the Grand Bay. It had been one of the earliest tourist attractions, probably because of its natural beauty and captivating sights. It features many water sports, such as scuba diving and parasailing. Submarine ventures are also a good attraction for many tourists, as one gets to explore the great underwater life. The restaurants, shopping malls, and clubs in the vicinity are also great places to visit.
Another favourite nature spot for many tourists is the Chamarel. It is one of the unique features of Mauritius, and consists of a landscape in different coloured patches of red, blue, yellow, and green earth. These patches are considered to be the result of weathering, and are an attraction for many who visit the island.
Water activities are at their best in Mauritius. Fishing and diving are also two of the main attractions to the Island. Deep sea fishing is a highly adventurous and exciting sport, and is highly recommended to anyone planning a trip to the Island. Diving, another highly acclaimed attraction of Mauritius, is popular due to its coral reefs. The scenery itself is spectacular and the experience is worth every penny spent.
If shopping and dining are your main interests, then the waterfront is the best place to visit. The craft market here features local crafts, as well as crafts from neighbouring countries. Curepipe is one of the best places to shop for designer products.
L’Aventure Du Sucre Museum is a great place to spend an afternoon exploring the history of Mauritius. It features the history, from the time of slavery to its independence, and is thus both fun and educational by all means. The structure was originally a sugar factory established in 1797. The factory was converted into a museum after the cessation of trade in 1999.
