Mauritius

Le Morne · Chamarel · Blue Bay · Black River Gorges · Aapravasi Ghat

Mauritius is one of the Indian Ocean's most celebrated destinations — a volcanic island ringed by a coral reef lagoon, with turquoise water, white-sand beaches, and some of the world's finest beach resorts. Each coast has its own character: the north is lively and social, the east pristine and quiet, the west dramatic at sunset, the south-west spectacular and secluded. Choose your base according to your travel style.

3 Aapravasi Ghat (UNESCO World Heritage)

Historic site

Aapravasi Ghat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Port Louis waterfront, inscribed in 2006. The first British colonial immigration depot of its kind, it received indentured labourers from India and other parts of Asia and Africa under contract to work on the island’s sugar plantations. Between 1849 and 1923, approximately 500,000 Indian workers passed through the stone processing halls and landing steps, which are preserved as a memorial and can be visited at no charge in the heart of the capital.
