The central region of Mauritius offers a rich blend of history, nature, and modern attractions that are often overlooked in favour of coastal resorts. From historic mansions and volcanic craters to fantastic shopping malls and challenging hikes, the centre of Mauritius has something for everyone.

Explore the Natural Beauty and Historic Charm

Start your adventure by hiking Le Pouce Mountain, following in Charles Darwin’s footsteps for stunning views over Port Louis. For a more challenging climb, tackle Pieter Both Mountain with the help of a local guide.

Indulge in Shopping and Golf

Shopaholics will love the modern shopping malls in the island’s centre, including Bagatelle Mall, Tribeca Central, La City Trianon, and Phoenix Mall. All are easily accessible via the Metro Express, which connects Port Louis to Curepipe, where you can also explore the volcanic crater Trou aux Cerfs. For golf enthusiasts, the Gymkhana Club Golf Course offers an 18-hole course with a night driving range, making it one of the oldest and most charming golf destinations in the southern hemisphere.

With its mix of natural wonders, historical sites, and modern conveniences, the centre of Mauritius is a must-visit destination. Whether you’re an adventurer, a history buff, or a shopaholic, this region has something to offer.
