Because Mauritius is so rich in marine wildlife, the local traditional food is cooked mostly with fish. But don’t be fooled, this does not mean that all dishes taste more or less the same. Mauritian food consists of surprisingly mixed cuisine. It is a combination of Indian, Creole, Chinese and European food in a delicious manner. The local cooking is very daring and adventurous. On of the best restaurants on the island are Spoon des Iles.

The Sugar Beach is a fabulous resort, situated thirty-five km from Port Luis, the capital city of Mauritius, on the west coast of the island. It sums up 170 standard guest rooms in the Villas and the Manor House. Seven luxury villas are built very close to the beach so that guests can enjoy the best part of the local scenery.
