The emerald jewel of the Indian Ocean
Mark Twain once recorded what a local told him: “Mauritius was made first, and then heaven; and heaven was copied after Mauritius.” Mauritius is no ordinary tropical island: it is a melting pot of cultures, flavours and landscapes, unique in the Indian Ocean. White sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons, lush green mountains and a world-class hotel scene, from One&Only Le Saint Géran and Four Seasons at Anahita to the new St. Regis Le Morne. Whether for a honeymoon, a family holiday or a golfing holiday among palms and lagoons, every expectation finds its perfect answer on a Mauritius luxury holiday.
As your personal Mauritius travel consultant in Basel, we put together your trip individually, from business-class flights from Zurich and hand-picked 5-star resorts to dolphin safaris and private catamaran tours. Every detail is tailored personally to you. A luxury holiday in Mauritius means absolute exclusivity, tranquillity and experiences of the highest quality. Protected by the Swiss Travel Industry Guarantee Fund and planned with more than 30 years of experience.
Unforgettable experiences between botanical gardens and coral reefs
Secure your individual high-end travel planning comfortably from home. Our private travel designers ensure that every moment of your Mauritius luxury holiday is perfectly arranged.

Explore the lively capital Port Louis or hike through Black River Gorges National Park. With Pink Travel, your Mauritius luxury holiday becomes a harmonious blend of activity and deep relaxation. Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) is your gateway to this tropical haven.
Sail aboard a private catamaran across the turquoise lagoon to Île aux Cerfs, a picture-postcard island with powder-white beaches and crystal-clear water. The trip includes snorkelling stops at the coral reef, grilled lobster on board and a swimming stop at the natural GRSE waterfall. We organise the tour exclusively for you, without other guests, with a private skipper and chef.
Mauritius is a paradise for golfers. Play at Île aux Cerfs Golf Club (designed by Bernhard Langer, reachable only by boat), Anahita Golf Course (designed by Ernie Els, right on the lagoon), Heritage Golf Club (Peter Matkovich, with views of Le Morne) and Paradis Golf Club (18 holes at the foot of Le Morne Brabant). Perfect conditions all year round, palm-lined fairways and sea views from almost every hole. We book green fees, caddies and VIP packages in advance.
Hundreds of spinner dolphins and bottlenose dolphins live in the wild off the west coast of Mauritius. We organise a private boat trip in the early morning, during which you can swim with the dolphins in the open ocean, respectfully and in a small group. A magical experience that delights families and nature lovers in particular.
The luxury spas of Mauritius are among the best in the world. Enjoy Ayurvedic treatments at Shanti Maurice, thalasso therapy at Paradis Beachcomber, Balinese massages at Four Seasons at Anahita or the iconic spa of One&Only Le Saint Géran overlooking the lagoon. On request, we will put together a tailor-made wellness programme for you, from detox and anti-ageing to holistic retreats.
Direct flights from Zurich to Mauritius (MRU) with Edelweiss (seasonal, approx. 11 hours). Alternatively via Dubai (Emirates, 6.5 h + 6 h), Paris (Air France/Air Mauritius, 2 h + 11 h) or Istanbul (Turkish Airlines). The Emirates route via Dubai offers the most comfortable business-class connection, with a short night on board and a morning arrival in Mauritius. As an IATA agency, we book your business-class flights. On the island, we can arrange helicopter transfers from the airport directly to your resort on request, with spectacular aerial views of the island included.
Swiss citizens can enter without a visa and receive a 60-day residence permit on arrival. You will need a passport with at least 6 months' remaining validity and a return ticket. Entry is quick and straightforward.
Mauritius is compact and easy to explore. We organise private transfers in air-conditioned vehicles with a chauffeur for all journeys. The airport transfer takes 45–90 minutes, depending on the coast. For day trips inland (Chamarel, Black River Gorges, Port Louis), we recommend a private driver for the whole day. Helicopter transfers are the most spectacular option: 15 minutes instead of 90, with a bird's-eye view of the lagoon.
Mauritian rupee (MUR). Hotels accept euros, US dollars and CHF. Mauritius offers excellent value for money for the Indian Ocean: comparable resorts here often cost 30–40% less than in the Maldives or the Seychelles. Half board is advisable in most resorts, as restaurants on the island (outside the hotels) tend to be fairly simple.
