Mauritius is known as the ultimate destination to relax on paradise looking beaches with azure blue waters. The island is small, yet it has so much to offer. Mauritian resorts and hotels are top of the bill but it gets even better when we start exploring the island a little more.
Sometimes I travel to a new country and spend the entire time thinking about the articles I’m going to write.
In Mauritius, it was all about the budget breakdown.
Writing about trip expenses is kind of my thing. I love breaking down the stereotypes that people hold about travel (that it’s only for the wealthy) and proving it’s more accessible than you think. So when I was driving across Mauritius — a country that’s typically believed to be a luxury honeymoon destination — and averaging $50 (€46/£39) a day, I was brimming with excitement.
I couldn’t wait to share that somewhere this beautiful could be this affordable.
I can’t stop talking about Mauritius.
Visiting this island was a revelation. This was one of the most exciting countries I’ve been to in years. I’ve been full-on singing its praises on a daily basis.
Here, you’ve got everything: stunning beaches, volcanic craters to hike up, exceptional food, kind locals, low prices, and a safe environment. What more could a traveller ask for?
