Two beachfront resorts, one in the livelier north, one in the quieter south, each a different side of the island.
A catamaran day to the northern islets, snorkelling over the reef, and quiet beaches for the afternoons.
Port Louis and its market, street food across the island's Indian, Creole and Chinese lines, and a rum estate in the south-west.
Chamarel's coloured earth, giant tortoises, and the vanilla and tea estates of the high country.
Ten nights across two coasts, the livelier north then the quieter south, with a private driver for every outing and someone on the island to call, by day or night.
The days alternate: a catamaran day or a drive through the estates, then a day that asks nothing at all, so a group of four to twenty can move together or split off as the mood takes them. Two beachfront bases, private transfers, the arranging kept out of the way.
From arrival to farewell the logistics are ours, so the week is spent together rather than on the planning: the shared table is the point.
Your first day begins with a welcome at the airport and a private transfer to the coast, the group brought together at a beachfront resort with the lagoon beyond.
The staff walk you in, a welcome drink follows, and the first evening asks nothing more than settling in as the island slows around you.
Today follows the north coast. The morning is at the island's oldest botanical garden, among old trees and tropical blooms, then Cap Malheureux, known for its red-roofed chapel above calm water, where lunch is grilled seafood by the beach.
Grand Baie comes next, its front lined with cafés and small shops, and the day ends at Mont Choisy as the sun sets over the water and the group returns to the resort.
Today is given to the water. The catamaran sets out from Grand Baie with breakfast on deck as the coast falls away, and anchors off Îlot Gabriel and Flat Island, the lagoon clear and the sand soft.
The snorkelling near Coin de Mire brings up the reef. Lunch is a barbecue served on board, and the afternoon is easy hours on deck, music and talk carried on the breeze, before the catamaran turns for shore.
The day is open. The pool, the beach and the quiet corners of the resort are all there, and the hours go to rest, a walk along the sand, or time with the people you came with.
Nothing is asked of anyone today.
Today goes to Port Louis. The Central Market first, loud and full, where the street food carries the island's Indian, Creole and Chinese lines in a single lunch.
The Caudan Waterfront is a slower hour by the harbour, and the climb to the Citadelle, the old British fort above the town, gives the long view back over the city and the bay.
The morning is slow before the drive south. The road crosses hills, lagoons and sugar fields on the way to the coast, where the resort sits back among greenery.
The evening is quiet, the air a little fresher, the south a different island from the one you have left.
Today runs through the south-west, over rolling hills and into tropical forest. Chamarel comes first, for the Seven Coloured Earths and the giant tortoises kept nearby, with a waterfall to pause at along the way.
The day ends at a rum estate, where the scent of cut cane hangs in the air and a tasting works through what the island distils.
Today works south through three estates. La Vanille first, its grounds home to giant tortoises, crocodiles and tropical birds.
Then Saint Aubin, an old sugar and vanilla estate, where lunch is served plantation-style among the fields. The day finishes higher up at Bois Chéri, the island's tea estate, the hills often in mist and the scent of rolled leaf through the air.
The last full day is left open. There is time for the local shops for anyone after a keepsake, and time by the sea for anyone who would rather not move.
The day sits quietly, a soft mark before the journey home.
The last morning carries a sense of things completed. After check-out, a private transfer takes the group to the airport, the coast running alongside one last time.
What stays is the week itself: the shared table, the days on the water, the ease of a group travelling well.
From sunlit terraces to tucked-away retreats, our boutique accommodations echo the soul of Mauritius. Designed for comfort, chosen for character, and woven into your journey with intention.
Your stays, half board
Hotels chosen for comfort, location and the way they care for guests, with breakfast and dinner included as standard across all our packages. Where an itinerary names a lunch or a dinner out, that meal is included too.
Support on the island, day and night
A dedicated local representative stays reachable around the clock, by call or message, for assistance, a recommendation, or a change of plan.
A private guide who knows the island
Every guided day comes with someone who grew up with the places you are seeing, and the context, background and stories that make them make sense.
Private transfers throughout
Your driver is one of our own: the same person who welcomes you at the airport carries every journey of your stay, knows your names and your plans, and hands you back to the airport on the last morning..
Good to know

Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is not included and we recommend it in all cases. Please have your policy confirmed before departure.
