Overview
Mauritius is a volcanic island nation in the Indian Ocean, roughly 2,000 kilometers off the southeast coast of Africa. Ringed by coral reefs that create calm turquoise lagoons, the island offers dramatic mountain scenery, lush tropical forests, and some of the most beautiful beaches on Earth.
For points travelers, Mauritius is an outstanding destination with properties from Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, and IHG. The St. Regis Mauritius Resort is the crown jewel, offering butler service and beachfront luxury. The JW Marriott Mauritius also offers excellent redemption value.
Whether you are drawn to underwater adventures, championship golf courses, or simply relaxing on powder-white beaches, Mauritius delivers a world-class island experience with fewer crowds than the Maldives and more cultural depth than most tropical destinations.
