The buzzing heart of the capital – fresh produce, fish and spices alongside handicrafts and some of the island’s best street food. Bargain for souvenirs, then try an almond alouda, a dholl puri and a farata like the locals do.
Mauritius’s oldest tea plantation and the name behind its most famous brand. Tour the working factory and museum, then taste teas at the hilltop restaurant with a sweeping panoramic view. It forms part of the island’s “Route du Thé” heritage trail.
