The best beaches in Mauritius for white sand, swaying palms and clear-blue waters

Crystal clear waters and fine white sands framed by sweeping palm trees, the beaches in Mauritius are hard to top. The island is surrounded by a barrier coral reef and is encircled by a lagoon boasting a palette of blue-hued waters, diverse marine life and dramatic rock formations to explore under the surface.

And, with 177 kilometres of coastline to discover, there’s a dazzling variety of sands, each with its own atmosphere and draw for travellers – from honeymooning couples, to families with children.
