A vibrant mix of Indian, African and European culture
Mauritius family holidays combine calm lagoons, soft sandy beaches, and warm hospitality with a wealth of activities for all ages.
The white, powdery sands of the beaches, the clear, turquoise waters of the ocean and the emerald green peaks of the mountains are the ideal setting for a tropical getaway. Explore the world’s longest unbroken coral reef, a myriad of blue lagoons and some fascinating towns and villages. Mauritius is a friendly island with a fantastic array of resorts with great facilities for children of all ages. Go biking together to see the island’s beautiful scenery, build sandcastles on the beach or give the children over to the hotel Kids Club while you enjoy a well-deserved massage!
Relaxation is the order of the day, but there are still many activities to keep your adventurous side busy. From water sports to dolphin safaris on the water, to exploring volcanic caves and unique fishing villages on the island, this small island is bursting with possibilities.
Whatever your family wants to do, Far & Wild will make sure your holiday to Mauritius is just right.
I have travelled to Mauritius several times and explored the island in depth. I’d love to help plan your trip.

Mauritius family holidays, trips and tours ideas
Our Mauritius family holiday specialist, Ruth, says:
“Mauritius is one of my favourite recommendations for families. The beaches are beautiful, the hotels really understand what children need, and there’s plenty for parents to enjoy too. It works brilliantly as a stand-alone family holiday, but you can also combine it with South Africa or Kenya for something truly unforgettable: a few days on safari followed by time together on the beach.”
