Mauritius Synopsis

Mauritius' hidden noodle stalls, banyan-shaded grills and beautiful beaches are closer than you'd think - this pocket-sized travel guide condenses them into the days that actually fit your trip.

Marco Polo is the proud map publishing partner for Race Across the World.

Whether it's your first visit or you're back for more, this guide brings Mauritius' quieter side within easy reach. Join the queue at Ti Kouloir for noodles, swim at Bain Boeuf looking out to Coin de Mire, then head to Trou d'Eau Douce for snapper grilled beneath ancient banyan trees.

Lightweight and easy to carry, it's built for lazy days watching fishing boats head out at dawn, evenings chasing sega music to a nearby bar, and slow rides through sugarcane country, with a pull-out map so you can navigate with confidence.
