20 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World

Le Morne, Mauritius

The southwestern tip of Mauritius is home to an extraordinary UNESCO-accredited World Heritage Site. It features a rocky crag known as Le Morne Brabant, which is a popular tourist destination that’s also a refuge for two rare plants – the Mandrinette and the Boucle d’Oreille.

Among the best things to do in Mauritius is hike the mountain and admire the stunning views from the top. The climb takes a bit of effort and can be dangerous for some, but the rewards are well worth it.

Set against a cliff, the 149-room LUX* Le Morne is a luxurious island resort that offers all the perks of an all-inclusive holiday. Chalet-style rooms overlook the ocean from patios or balconies, and suites boast whirlpool tubs. The manicured grounds offer four lagoon pools, including one with a swim-up pool bar.
