Mauritius in November
Who said you had to choose between sports holidays and relaxing holidays? In Mauritius, you can combine the two! In the morning, go for a short hike, a diving session or a bike ride. In the afternoon, stroll around the hotel, take advantage of the swimming pool and visit the spa. Yes, there are many pleasures to be had in November in Mauritius…
On the spot
In October/November, Mauritius lights up for Diwali, the festival of lights. This is the most jovial of the Hindu festivals. We celebrate the victory of good over evil and the light of our soul that guides us towards peace. Mauritian Hindus place clay oil lamps in front of their houses, lighting up the streets as night falls. It's a sight to behold!
On the music front, you can discover Creole music at the Festival International Kreol. You'll be able to immerse yourself in the world of sega (traditional Mauritian music) and seggae (a musical genre based on a fusion of reggae and sega).
With dance shows, concerts, conferences and exhibitions on Creole culture, there's no way you’ll get bored during this festive week!
