Other than being one of the world’s premier honeymoon and beach destinations, Mauritius’ main claim to fame is that it was once home to the ill-fated dodo – a flightless, hopeless bird that fell into extinction hundreds of years ago. Its descendent, the pink pigeon, is currently being reintroduced onto the nature reserve of Ile aux Aigrettes, another small island off the Blue Bay.
Surrounded by a near-perfect half-moon of Casuarina trees, Blue Bay and the nearby lagoon of Pointe d’Esny are so named for the coat of many colours that wash through the water from sunrise to sunset. Now formally recognized as a marine reserve, the area has the richest displays of wildlife and underwater flora on the island. And, with its perfect arc of white, powdery sand and gentle, jewel-blue water, it is also one of the best beaches on the island for bathing.
But Mauritius is one of those places that offers more than meets the eye. The Gran Baie, or, Mauritian Riviera on the North of the island is most visited by romantically inclined beach bums, but if you’re looking to loose the crowd, head for the islands’ undiscovered South
