The capital, Port Louis, is certainly worth a visit for its colonial past and to enjoy the Creole cuisine characterized by the scents and colors of the spices of the island (curry, ginger, coriander) and influenced by the culinary traditions of India and China. And certainly, you will not leave the island without tasting the lychees, maybe paired with a glass of rum, and without having purchased the gigantic vanilla pods. See and book hotels in Mauritius
