In episode 6 of our MAURITIUS ROAD TRIP we show you one of the many reasons why you should visit Mauritius: it's so easy to get from great mountain hikes to beautiful beaches in a short amount of time. This is just one of the many reasons why we love Mauritius, but it's not often that a travel destination offers such a rich variety of sceneries!
In this video we start our day in Port Louis and then drive to Le Pouce to go on one of the island’s best hikes to the top of the mountain that’s supposed to look like a thumb (it doesn’t really). After trying to find some healthy food in Port Louis, we then continue driving to stop 5 on our road trip the next day. And we were really excited for this one! We quickly fell in love with Trou-aux-Biches and for us it’s one of the best beach destinations on the island.

This video is part of a multi-part series of our ultimate ROAD TRIP THROUGH MAURITIUS! Mauritius is a popular honeymoon and beach holiday destination but it has so much more to offer than beautiful beaches (although there are many of them as well). We’re really excited to get to know this African island country and its culture and cuisine. On our road trip we’ll spend three weeks driving from the South up the West coast, then further into the North and finally down the East coast. Our goal is to get to know Mauritius from all sides, as well as check out its beautiful beaches and nature.

Hey! Glad I found this channel, I’m a nomad looking for where to go next and I’m torn between heading back to SE Asia (been all over Thailand and Bali before) or to Mauritius. What would you two suggest? How do they compare?

@ZoeandSimon Жыл бұрын

Hi there! That's a tough question 😁 Overall we feel like countries such as Thailand and Mauritius are both great options. We've spent way more time in Asia however and love it there, so we are probably also a bit biased. In general we feel that the digital nomad community is much bigger in SEA. Depending on where you're staying you probably have a lower cost of living too and more variety when it comes to food. But Mauritius is a great place for staying longer as well, as it's got a very relaxed vibe and it's a change of scenery. You may need some more luck though to find a good community of expats/nomads to hang out with, as there are just less around. So the best thing to do would probably be to visit Mauritius for a while and then decide, if that's an option 😁

We planned most of our stays a few weeks ahead because we saw that quite a few accommodations were already sold out. You can find an overview of our route and accommodations we stayed in on our website (www.zoeandsimon.io) 🙂

Is it possible to rent sunbeds on the beaches?

@ZoeandSimon Жыл бұрын

It's quite difficult to find a sunbed to rent - most of them belong to the big resorts. at some beaches you can rent some, but they will be quite expensive.

@@ZoeandSimon Then we just gonna buy one in a shop and just take them with us every time we go to the beach 😄 thnx for your answer!
