Mauritius Guest Houses & Holiday Houses

While Mauritius is a jewel of an island, it is remains an undiscovered jewel for many renters of self-catering villas. The location of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean 560 miles east of Madagascar, is part of the reason why the island is not packed with tourists, though the journey is well worth the experience. Mauritius is officially a French Republic; while the official language is English, there is also a mixture of Creole, French, Hindi, Urdi, Tamil, Chinese, Telugu, and Mauritian Bhojpuri spoken. The many different languages reflect why Mauritius is so unique. The culture of this island is actually a blend of many other cultures; this blending took place over hundreds of years ago as sailors from far away lands each ‘discovered’ the island. Small as it may be, Mauritius rewards renters of holiday homes who come to the island with beautiful beaches, world class water sports, and curious sites. Mauritius holiday homes are available throughout the year; self-catering Mauritius villas for rent are near beaches.

The Pereybere beach is one of the most popular beaches; plenty of local shopping boutiques line the beach way, and the beach is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Botanical enthusiasts will want to visit the Labourdonnais Orchards of Mauritius, and natural lovers will appreciate mountain biking and hiking opportunities. Two must-see-sites include the Balaclava Ruins of the Balaclava estate, and one of the largest Hindu temples known as the Maheswarnath. For renters of self-catering Mauritius villas who wish to engage in sporting activities, there are a few golf resorts on the island, and world famous deep sea fishing excursions are available as well. If relaxing on the beach does not dissolve all worries away, a visit to one of the island’s many health spas will be sure to do the trick.
