Trip overview

This 10-night itinerary combines the energy of Mauritius with the serene beauty of Rodrigues Island, designed for two adults seeking a balance of discovery, comfort and beach time. You begin with a week at Anelia Resort & Spa in Flic en Flac, a lively coastal area known for its long sandy beaches and sunsets, with private sedan transfers to and from the international airport for a smooth arrival and departure.

Guided excursions reveal the island’s diversity: the dramatic landscapes and 7-Coloured Earth of the south, the urban rhythm and markets of Port Louis and the capital’s surroundings, plus the wild southwest and Casela Park, all with thoughtful itineraries and lunches included on key days. You then fly to Rodrigues Island, where a private car transfer takes you to C Rodrigues Mourouk for three nights of slower-paced island living, lagoon views and an intimate contact with nature before returning to Plaine Corail for your onward journey.
