8. About Mauritius
Nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean, south of Africa and east of Madagascar, this dreamy isle sits ideally between the Tropic of Capricorn and
the equator, providing a perfect tropical climate all year round.
Mauritius is the main island, from which the
country derives its name. Of volcanic origin,
it’s almost entirely surrounded by sheltering
coral reefs. With hundreds of amazing passes
with perfect waves, lefts and rights, short and
long barrels and deep to hollow tubes, it’s a
surfer’s paradise and with numerous, vast lagoons to boot, there’s great
sailing, diving and fishing diversity, too.
There‘s no shortage of top spots, swells, lagoons or wind, but there has been a distinct
lack of information about all these things
9. you-drop at Flacq‘s bustling open-air market, a vibrant and colorful marketplace full
of fresh local products at great value. The
island’s home to countless bars and restaurants. Check out the iconic Banana Bar in
Grand Bay, which hosts both local and international artists, from jazz to soul. In the mood
for dancing? The numerous nightclubs offer a
great atmosphere where you can boogie the
night away to the sounds of House, Dance
and RnB music played by top DJs.
- until now! This comprehensive guide enables you to experience the range of stunning
spots on our beautiful island for yourself.
Take the swells and gentle sea breezes, add
the impressive Indian Ocean climate, great
coral reefs, large lagoons and a handful of
quality breaks and you have the perfect surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing destination.
The Unique Mauritian Culture is a blend of
Indian, Chinese and Creole sweetness and
spices with an influencing European History,
in other words amazing local cuisine. Get a
taste for the magical mélange of influences
with a warm Dol Pourie, whether it’s on a
street corner in Port Louis, from a delicious
hotel buffet or à la carte at a well-reputed table d‘hôte in Chamarel. You‘ll find specialties
everywhere you go, all worth a try. Shop-til-
The island boasts some of the world‘s most
beautiful private and public beaches, fringed
by swaying palms and lapped by crystalclear turquoise waters. Combine that with
the magnificent, exotic sunsets and tropical vegetation of the various game reserves,
national parks, private hunting estates and
colonial houses such as St Aubin and Eureka
where honeymooners can make their dreams
come true and you‘ve got a winning formula.
Golf fan? Mauritius is fast earning a reputation for being home to some of the world‘s
most amazing golf courses. Its fantastic architectural designs by big names such as Ernie
Els and Bernhand Langer offer avid golfers a
challenging game. But whatever your handicap, you‘ll find somewhere to suit your needs,
whether you‘re aiming for a hole in one at
one of the top-class hotels or dodging the
water hazards on the new Ile Aux Cerfs, you‘ll
love putting your way through the stunning
settings that are simply unbeatable. The
Mauritius Open PGA attracts international
and local professionals and many a celebrity
has been spotted practicing their swing on
the island‘s championship courses.
Grand Bay is the place to head for catamaran
cruises and sailing boats. Blue Bay and Black
River offer amazing trips to nearby islands
such as Coin De Mire, Ile Plate, Ile au Gabriel
and Ile aux Bennitier. Famous spots for snorkeling and scuba diving include the famous
Silver Star wreck and the Cathedral underwater cave. Mauritius and Rodrigues offer some
of the world‘s best deep-sea fishing with
10. many experienced skippers and fishing boat
owners, such as Tamarin local fishing legend,
Jerome Moonsamy, aka Mr. Bull. Deep sea
fishing is possible off the East, North and
West coasts and the best operators are based
in Black River and Trou aux Biches. The best
months are the summer months (October to
May.) Mr. Dominique Theveneau offers flyfishing and casting outings on reefs for individuals or small groups. Not forgetting the
Mauritius Aquarium, home to 100‘s of tropical aquatic life and fish.
If the sea doesn‘t float your boat, there are numerous land-based pursuits to participate in.
Choose from inland adventure tours, sightseeing in four-wheeled drives, on mountain
bikes or hiking (Yann De Maroussem from Yanaventures is a great hiking enthusiast who
knows his way around the South), along with
a wealth of other activities. The adventurous
among you should head to Yemen Nature
Park for great quad bike riding and abseiling
close to the 3 Mamelles Mountains. The game
reserve of Domaine Du Chasseur offers fabulous panoramic views and sunsets, while the
magnificent Black River Gorges National Park
is home to wonderful wildlife, where birdlovers can spy protected bird species such as
the pink pigeon, kestrels and rare forest trees.
Photographers will love snapping away at
the Vanilla Reserve des Mascareignes, home
to Nile Crocodiles.
If gardening‘s your thing, the Pamplemousse
Garden is one of the oldest tropical gardens
in the world, bursting with exotic flowers and
tropical trees. If architecture‘s your kick, you
won‘t be disappointed by the 1830 Eureka
House or St Aubin Colonial House, The Ruins
of Ballaclava or Martello Tower, illustrating
intriguing history from early settlers. History
buffs shouldn‘t miss the modern sugarcane
exhibition of L‘Aventure Du Sucre and the Salt
Pans of Tamarin, for fascinating facts about
the slavery trade. Animal lovers can spend
the day with wild stags, tigers and monkeys
at Casela Bird Park, home to 140 bird species
from five other continents. Set in 25 hectares
of tropical vegetation, consisting of a wide
variety of palm trees, bamboos, eucalyptus
and colorful exotic flowers such as the hibiscus and orchids, you‘ll enjoy a gorgeouslyperfumed day.
So, where do we all get this amazing history
and mixed heritage from? Well, it all started
back in the 10th century when the Arab navigators, already familiar with Mauritius, gave it
the name of Dina Arobi but were not interest-
11. ed in settling. It was only rediscovered by the
Portuguese in 1505, followed by the Dutch,
who were believed to have caused the extinction of the famous Dodo which is now the emblem of Mauritius. Then came the French, who
“the country has attracted considerable foreign investment
and has earned one of Africa’s
highest per capita incomes”
lost out to the British, before independence
was attained in 1968. Since then, Mauritius has
enjoyed a stable democracy with regular free
elections (every five years). Along with a positive human rights record, the country has at-
tracted considerable foreign investment and
has earned one of Africa’s highest per capita
incomes. Due to poor weather in the last couple of years, the declining sugar prices have
slowed economic growth, leading to some
protests over standards of living in the Creole
community, but tourism, textile and offshore
investments are the other major economic
contributors and Mauritius is one of the few
countries which has been resilient throughout
the global recession.

Since a very young age, I’ve
had a camera in my hand.
Photography has always
been a passion of mine as
it captures important moments in life. It’s with those
photographs that you keep
a living memory.
Having studied in Canada
showed me how vast photography can be. You can’t
even imagine the amount of
unexplored techniques yet.
I had the chance learning
the basics, from developing
films in the darkroom to the
digital world of today. It was
a journey of knowledge.

I started Amaury Bouchet
Photography in 2010 in
Canada and moved back to
Mauritius in 2012 to follow
my passion as a freelance
photographer. I am not
the kind of photographer
whose focus is only on one
style of photography. I like
variety and diversity.
I believe that photography
is crucial for any type of
project. Wherever you go,
wherever you look, pictures
are used as a fundamental
method of marketing. Photography is an essential tool
in real estate as it demonstrates the product and attracts the client’s attention
through a visual…
I’ve worked with homeowners, restaurants and interior
designers to promote their
work, which has allowed me
to expand in this domain. I
really enjoy this style of photography, as it demands a
lot of technical adjustments.
Everything from the design
to the landscape to the
lighting needs to be exact
for end product to really sell.
The most important thing
to me is for the client to feel
satisfied with the result.
Photography was a passion
before I decided to make it
my everyday job. There is
nothing like waking up every morning feeling great to
go to work.
