Moka Smart City

The home of coffee in Mauritius, Moka is becoming a smart city, but the history is slotting in with modern in an unexpected way. Old train stations, wooden buildings, and neglected structures are being incorporated into this future vision. New sugar mill chimneys are being built as art, to sit alongside malls and office blocks

Bel Air Mauritius

Bel Air is a huge village that makes you feel like a Prince. The welcoming locals, bustling streets, great history, grilled meats, and a train. When Will Smith said “home to Bel Air” I think he was talking about this great village.

Trou d’eau Douce

Trou d’Eau Douce is one of those coastal villages that has so much to offer. From the friendly people and the beautiful site and views to the history and foods. It’s not a place to lounge on the beach, you have to get into it and explore. If you do, you will be rewarded with a fantastic time, which we had.

Black River

Black River has so much to offer any type of visitor it’s hard to choose. We went with the abundant history on this adventure, with a short stop at a mall for a great lunch. The massive Martello towers share space with beautiful beaches, while ancient buildings, make way for the modern world. The abandoned houses were sobering but awesome to visit, but the cannons, oh yes, beautiful cannons were everywhere.

Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria in the Flacq district of Mauritius on a rainy day will beat out a sunny day on the beach for its warmth. The people are friendly and willing to sit and chat about football and share their hospitality with strangers. The historic sugar mill, the bonsai plants, the picturesque temple, markets, and of course Arsenal FC.
