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.

Phoenix

Phoenix on a glorious sunny day is a beautiful place to visit. With its huge malls with everything you need to the quiet back streets filled with surprises, it will entice you in. The old bridges set in tranquil parks, the huge and secretive houses, a famous brewery, the train station, and a sad cannon all add to the magic.

Trianon

Trianon Mauritius has the greatest city, LA City. It’s actually a mall, but what a place. A Winners hyper, tonnes of shops, great street foods, and the best food court in history. Oh yes, and a jazz band! Then out into the countryside with a Teal river, Kovil, sugar mill tower, homemade irrigation, and the labourer’s barracks.
