Hello Lucy, even though it is true that the beaches look spectacular, they do not feel that way. Most white sandy beaches in Mauricius are not a pleasure to step on, but rather a suprisingly exfoliating memorable experience, I would describe as very small glass chards or if the experience is milder a very coarse sand paper... nothing compares to the Caribbean, which sand is like talc and careses you as you walk.
Hello. You are correct. The sand is very course here. Thanks for the comment.
Another fabulous video, thank you so much. I miss Mauritius so much, but watching your videos certainly help quell the pangs until i can return.
Thank you Natalie! Let’s see when normality will return...hopefully sooner rather than later. Take care!
Our beautiful island!! 🇲🇺
Simply stunning!!😍
Thanks very much Smita! This island is amazing.
Some excellent recommendations and also I like the history lessons as well. 👍
Thanks Vikash. In my opinion, the South coast is the best.
Thank you 🙏 Lucy , very informative, keep going with the amazing work 👍
Thanks so much 🙏
Cool video.
I have been to Mauritius 3 times and did visit Iles Aux Cerfs, Mont Choisy, Pereybere, Gris Gris, Le Morne, Tamarin and of course Flic-en-Flac where I stayed twice
Thank you, excellent video filled with fantastic info!
Thanks so much
Awesome as always
Thanks very much 🙏🙌
Mauritius is DEFINITELY on my bucket list!🌟🙏💯
Nice video summarizing the beautiful beaches of Mauritius. Before re-visiting Mauritius we need to see all your videos one more time, make notes and a Checklist. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much for your support Jeevak.
A really good job Lucy you did with this video. I can remember some of the beaches well because in 2019 we spent 16 days in paradise, as I called the trailer for my videos about Mauritius. So I can understand why you live there now.
Going to Mauritius in Dec. Your videos are really helpful. Thank you!
Thanks very much 🙏
Hi Lucy, really it is a great Job. Thank you for this amazing Information. Sure I am going to use this good in my next visit to my favorite island Mauritus. Thank you again you are great.
You're welcome 😊 I'm very glad Saleh that this was helpful to you. All of the best.
These vlogs are making me cry. Lol. Thank you. Missing Mauritius a lot.
Thanks so much Dee! Sad that we can’t actually go to the beach at the moment! Take care.
Thank you so much, you aswel take care. By the way, how is the lockdown there? Has it been lifted or still in lockdown.
Great video Lucy thanks for sharing
You’re welcome 😊Thanks for watching!
1. Pereybere
2. Trou aux biches
3. Mont choisy
4. Blue Bay
5. Belle Mare

Thanks very much!
Hi Lucy. Thanks for showing us all of these stunning beaches in Mauritius. Praying normality returns soon so I can visit soon
Gosh Zainab, I hope so too that this will be better soon. I think normality has to be something better though - where humans have more respect for the earth and for other people. We cannot continue the way we were before. All of the best to you.
Great look at beaches, my favourite is still Pereybere, even though it can get overcrowded. Great reply to Will Tevs comment, looking forward to the Lucy makes coffee series🤣🤣
Hi Bryan! Thanks for watching. I also like Pereybere, but also love the untouched nature in the south. Watch out for that coffee series. Coming up :)
My fav is Pereybere too
....Mon Choisy
Great Video! Didn't know there was so many beaches in Mauritius. Stay safe!
Thank you for the comment. There are many more too, but that would make the video way too long! 🤣
I want to visit them all :) High quality video Lucy. You did a great job.
Thanks Alain. You can’t miss the beaches on the South coast. Pure wild, rough nature. I love that part of the island. Keep well.
Yeah la prairie is very beautiful and quiet for family time
nice video keep going
Thank you, I will! Stay safe Letandrine.
La Cuvette is also a great beach. Having said that, it was a long time since I've been.
Thanks for a great video 🙂
Only a pleasure. I have never been to La Cuvette. It’s definitely on my list ;)
Thank you Lucy for all these videos. This is my first visit to Mauritius from South Africa, and found your videos when trying to learn about Mauritius before coming. Great content and photography. Been very helpful and exciting to see the places after having seen them on CZcams. What about one driving in Mauritius. It has been a real adventure following Google short cuts through some of the towns and villages and the way Mauritians just pull up on the road to go into a shop. The traffic just then flows around the stationary car. The Mauritiuan drivers allow each other time to pass, so a very nice give and take once one gets into the flow of things. Also a short one on on buying groceries if not near a big supermarket, so would the very little shops sell eggs, milk or meat, do the locals eat pork and what some of the strange vegetables and what one can cook with them.
Hi there. Thanks for this comment and for your support! The driving is very interesting here! You need nerves of steel 🤣 Thanks too for the food suggestions. Just be careful of pesticides in fruit and veg (there is a lot of that here).
heading out next week thanks for the reviews.
A pleasure. Have a great trip 👍🏻
@@LucyLeheilleix Any recommendations on what part of the island to stay at this time of the year on a airb&b type budget close to a calm beach. it seems to vary?
Hi Lucy, we love your videos! We will be moving to Tamarin from France at the end of May/June (if COVID lets us). Your videos are making the wait very difficult 😬 all the best.
Ah thanks so much for watching. Good luck with the move.
Hi Lucy finally visited Mauritius in December. Weather was amazing. Sunny all the way. I was close to mon choisy. Enjoyed that beach so much. Love Mauritius.
That’s brilliant Zainab. Great that you finally made it!
9:50 We where in the Flic Flac resort complex… Amazing place with stone cabins between the trees… Best vacation of my life… Seen a Scorpion fish 5m from the beach on some rocks…
Glad you’re having a great time.
I’ve visited almost every other beaches especially the beaches on the north had a great time with the family
That’s great Edn. There are many other great beaches too. So much to see here. Keep well :)
Lucy! I’m so happy you are posting way more often! Hahaha and guess what I was literally going to post this video today hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll post it in a few days 🤗😎
Hey, Will! How are you? Similar minds think alike 😉 Trying to post more regularly, but lockdown is getting in the way 😜 Soon I’ll be talking about how to make coffee 😂 Keep well.
Thanks visited mont choisy today
Loved it
Yeah, it’s a great beach. Enjoy your stay in Mauritius 🇲🇺
Thanks for your videos and sharing great values. According to you, where is the best place to live, that is a good mix of locals and nice expats (the type that doesn't emigrate with their standards :)
Very nice thanks
A pleasure!
Thank you very much Lucy for this wonderful video of my Beautiful Mauritius Motherland paradise island ❤️❤️❤️ and miss you for 2 decades 😒😂🙏🇺🇲🇲🇺
Hopefully soon the island will open up and you can return!? Where are you living now?
I just saw the American flag, so I’m guessing the States?
@@LucyLeheilleix Washington DC 🇺🇲
Grand bay is the best place, best restaurants, lots of bars , clubs , close to all amenities plenty of activities
Amazing Video again.. How do you do these amazing map zoom transitions? 😍
I love the beaches in Mauritius
Hi Lucy, booked our honeymoon in Mauritius for May 2022, subscribed to your channel to learn all the top tips. We can’t wait to explore the beaches, water falls and trails. Any advice on what to wear, what to bring?
Thanks for subbing Laura. Mauritius is generally warm at that time of the year, but bring a jumper (just in case). Suntan lotion and mosquito repellent too. All of the best!
Very nice to see you again for a long time Ma'am. How is covid in Mauritius. Is tourism open in Mauritius now.
Hi Ajaz. Thanks for the comment. Mauritius is sadly back in lockdown again after we had some new cases here. I think the plan is to open the island in June. Let’s see. Stay well!
Pereybere is of no doubt the best seaside you can ever find in Mauritius.
I personally like the South! 😊
Hi Lucy! Great videos! Very helpful! I am going to Mauritius middle November with my kids which are two and three. Please tell me are Friday attitude and Tamassa hotel areas too windy? Is west part of the island significantly better weather? Is the Le Morne public beach area a better option? I am so confused by the comments about the wind there...
Hi Lucy, our family is thinking about visiting Mauritius and we are finding your videos super informative! We love watersports including surfing and I see you are a keen surfer yourself. I have one big reservation about visiting Mauritius though. A friend told me to google 'surf localism Mauritius' and I found some quite disturbing videos and articles including one of a 16 year old tourist surfer being screamed at and sworn at by a 'local' and chased out of the water. I don't want to expose my kids (ormyself) to that kind of situation so was hoping you could let me know if the situation has resolved? Thanks again for your brill videos. 🤙🤙🤙
Hi Nick. Thanks for watching my videos. I’m glad you find them helpful and informative. Regarding your question about surfing here, my honest opinion would be to surf elsewhere. Sad story, but the surfing vibe here can be very bad indeed. Rather come here to sight see or to kite surf. That’s my honest opinion. Good luck :)
Hi Lucy, many thanks for your speedy and candid reply. Do you and your husband have a degree of acceptance in the line up because you have been living there a while? Anyway, that unpleasant contingent aside, Mauritius looks awesome and the people welcoming, so we may try and come anyway, and learn to kitesurf instead. I presume we would not get any grief for that in the water? Do you have any feel for whether tourism might open up in July? Please excuse the raft of questions but you seem super knowledgeable 😀
My husband rarely surfs here, I do from time to time but I’m very respectful and am a girl, so I get little hassles. Honestly, rather kitesurf or wingfoil as it’s way more chilled and you’ll get the best waves of your life at Manawa and One eye. As for when the island opens up....that’s something we’d all love to know. For now beaches are closed and I’m going slightly mad! Wishing you all of the best.
Hi Lucy
Hope you are all doing well during this lockdown. So good to see those beaches. I can’t wait to come and visit. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Thanks for watching Patrice.
And Pereybere ! Bleu bay !
Too many to put in one video 😀
Mauritian culture was big at Albion
Hi Lucy, love the channel, thank you. If not taking into account finances, where would you ideally live on the island?
Hi Carol. I love the west and south as there are mountains, lagoons and forests.
Thank you for this great guide! So enjoyed it. Wanted to ask what is the first week of June like in terms of temperature and rainfall. Would this be a good time to visit?
I personally love winter. The sea temp drops a tiny bit, but it’s still warm. The advantage is one often has beautiful sunny days and no need for Aircon at night. So in summary, yes, a great time to visit.
@@LucyLeheilleix thank you 🙌🏼
@@LucyLeheilleix i am planning going in August, is there usually rainfall in August?
Hi Lucy! We are staying near Belle mare beach, which beaches are good to visit near that area? We are travelling there in March 2022 for the first time ever. We CANNOT wait. Also, would you suggest hiring a moped to travel around? Thanks.
Pas mal. Point d esny 1⃣
Wonderful thanks. Where is the best place to try diving?
Most of the diving seems to take place up north. 👍🏻
Hi Lucy, thanks for your videós, great. Could you help me to suggest some beautiful places from the colonial times? Thanks
I’d try china town in Port Louis, Eureka house, the the colonial house in the botanical gardens. Also Labourdonnais, St Aubin and the various sugar mills around the island 😊
Thanks, another great video. Are all beaches free to access or is there private beaches which are forbidden to go or for which you need to pay to access ?
Hi Sebastien. All beaches in Mauritius are actually public beaches. The problem is that many hotels are developed right on the beach, making public access very hard. I think this has been a bone of contention for many years. Thanks for watching.
Hi Lucy great informative video. Going in september 9th for 8 days. Very confused on where to stay. I have looked at the outgrigger but not sure. Just wondering any recommendation where to best stay on the island. We are also planning to hire car if you have any suggestion or recommendation of car company i would really appreciate it. Thank you so much.
Hi Paula. I like the west or the south. Awali is great. For car hire, ask on the facebook group Mauritius in motion. Thanks for the comment and have a great trip 👍🏻
Considering mauritius for a 2 week holiday. Some say its too long for a place as small as mauritius. Maybe a good idea to split the stay across 2 or perhaps 3 locations (different parts of the island)? Any suggestions (as in which part of the island to stay whether north, south, east, west)?
2 weeks are not too long but too short to see all the interesting places in Mauritius. To split the stay in 3 locations is a good idea. In 2019 we were first in Péreybère in the north, then in Flic en Flac in the west and finally in Trou D'eau Douce in the east. We really enjoyed our stay there. If you are interested in details about it, check out my playlist about Mauritius. I wish you a nice holiday there!
Nice informative video, Lucy. Are you still using a Mavic Pro for the drone shots? Or have you upgraded? And which GoPro are you using for the time lapses?
Hi Jay. Thanks for the comment. I’m still using the mavic pro, and I will do so until it dies as it does everything I need it to, and the quality is brilliant. The time lapses were shot using a canon 80d. I use a GoPro hero 9 now too.
@@LucyLeheilleix I’ve got a GoPro Hero 7 Black and have always wondered whether the time lapses are good enough for social media content. I used to have DSLR - a Canon 7D about 5yrs ago - but sold it as it wasn’t being used much. It’s good to see that your Mavic still produces quality footage as most people I know have upgraded to the Mavic Air 2 or Mavic 2 Pro.
That GoPro 7 will definitely produce some great shots 👌 I just can’t justify the price tag at the moment for a new drone when my Mavic has never ever given me any issues. There’s a saying - what’s the best camera for the job? The one you’ve got! 😉
Hello from the UK this may not be your subject like the beaches do you or could you put me on to someone who knows what beaches are best for shore fishing please ? thanks for your time !
Are there any swordfish in the waters of Mauritius?
Im shocked that you didnt have Perebere Beach featured this would have to be one of the most famous and best pristine beachs in the North. Bad miss i think !!!!!
Yeah, true. That’s a great beach. Thanks for the comment!
Hi Lucy!
Do you recommend to make a visit to Trou-aux-Biches?
Very much so! It’s great there too.
@@LucyLeheilleix thanks!
Me and my husband will come and visit in April. We are sporty, adventurous people who love food. Where on Mauritius do you recommend that we stay? We don’t fancy a resort. We want to explore the island and all that it has to offer.
Hi Lucy. What about Trou aux beach?
I think I need to go there Olga!
Hello! Is there any restricción in Mauricio to fly a dron? Where can I consult this information? Thank you
Restrictions are not as bad as in Europe. Don’t fly near the airport or over people and respect privacy.
How really is the whether in August? Temperatures.?humidity? The ocean water is cold?
Weather in August is generally 24-26 degrees during the day (with sunshine). Cooler at night (you may need a jumper). It can be windy as the SE blows, but generally rather pleasant as the humidity has dropped significantly. The ocean is by no means cold as it sits at around (24 degrees).
Dear Lucy - good to have you here, always a pleasure. Use your imagination to see in which one of these beaches can have enough space for the construction of a luxury 5 star resort similar to the AMAN resorts, such as the Amankila in Bali, thanks
Hi Rahim. Thanks for the comment. In my honest opinion, this island is already saturated with way too many hotels. Now with covid, tourism is at an all time low. I think it’s time to capitalize on preserving the environment and focusing more on eco friendly alternatives. Stay well.
@@LucyLeheilleix Thanks, your comment is noted. Don't worry, I have other plans for the country.
hello, what about belle ombre?
Also a nice beach. 👍🏻
No waves? it looks a bit flat... where do you go surfing?
There are many waves. Tamarin, and Le Morne areas are the best 👍🏻
Is it now open to visit Mauritius ???? Or when??
It’s not open yet. We’re sadly still in lockdown.
All that beaches was public or privat on resorts?
Public
💦👍 thank you Lucy for this vidéo ✨🍃🦋🤗
Only a pleasure Christine.
Hi Lucy, Are there any nude beaches in Mauritius?
Non at all Sandeep
Hi Lucy
Is the main currency euro’s
Hi there. The main currency is rupees. Some shops sell in euros or dollars. Buying property can also be in euros and dollars.
@@LucyLeheilleix
Hi Lucy
Thanks for your prompt reply. I received a taxi quote in euro’s that’s why I messaged you. We had a situation years ago with Indian Rupee’s which we were told they were not an international currency. Ie hard to sell back. We are staying at maritim crystals beach Belle mare, I’ve checked distance at 24 km, however different taxi firms are saying 24-40 Kim’s. Can you recommend a genuine firm or expat service
Many thanks Lucy
Just pay with your credit card or bank card and withdraw cash at ATMS and you should be great. That way, you cut down on the bank notes at the end of your trip. For taxis, try the app Yugo 👍🏻
Dear Lucy please do not entertain constructing more 5 star hotels on the beaches. The locals are not given the access they should have and the beaches/local environment will suffer.
Don’t worry v, I am an environmentalist and am staunchly against development, especially on this island (where there is a huge saturation already in the hotel industry). In my opinion, Mauritius already has too many hotels. Thanks very much for the comment. Stay well.
Thank you 😀🙏🏽 that’s brilliant to hear!
@@vtee8649 I agree with you that if they build more hotels on the beaches will cause harm to the local environment because when hotels are built , most filaos which were planted to prevent beach erosion will be uprooted. But even us ( mauritians), cause harm to the local environment, many times I have seen cans of beers, bottles of water, Pepsi and others on the beach which cause harm to the local environment, and if these bottles cause harm to many aquatic animals and plants which many are only found in mauritius. So, we should be responsible when we go to the beach, and If we have trash with us don't just throw it anywhere, throw it in a trash bin.
