Add a night and spread the recovery over two days. The first is for rest. The second is for a single outing that needs very little walking.

July in Mauritius: winter, cooler and relatively dry, with wind on the south and east coasts. Pack a light layer for the shade of the gardens.

Night One

Shanti Maurice at Saint Félix and Heritage Le Telfair at Bel Ombre are both verified resorts. Ask each for a late checkout on the day you leave, and check what a second night costs, since rates vary.

Day Two

The tourism authority describes Domaine de Saint Aubin as grounds, a preserved colonial house, a traditional dining room, gardens and a distillery near Rivière des Anguilles. Visit the house and the gardens selectively, and sit down for lunch if the dining room is open. Confirm opening hours, step-free access and reservations directly with the domain before you go.

Getting Home

Ask your driver to return you to the hotel for your bags, or on to SSR International Airport (MRU). Allow for the south-coast journey, which the airport operator puts at roughly one hour to one hour 20 minutes.
