My Experience
Arriving in Mauritius felt like stepping into paradise. Staying at The Four Seasons Resort & Spa offered the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Swimming with dolphins was unforgettable, and exploring Port Louis's markets gave a glimpse into local life. Hiking to Le Pouce and visiting Ganga Talao were spiritual and scenic highlights. The natural beauty of the South and the adventures on Rodrigues Island added depth to the trip.
