Quiz—East vs West: Where Should You Stay in Mauritius?

Are you more bliss or buzz, zen or zest, head or heart? Mauritius has it all! From the serene East to the vibrant West, the island offers two distinct vibes. So, where should you stay during your trip to Mauritius? Take this quiz to find out where your paradise lies.

1. How do you take your sun?

A) At sunrise. I’m all about that first light of dawn. There’s something magical about the morning stillness that sets the tone for the day.
B) At sunset. Nothing beats watching the sky explode in colour — like the vibrant palette of emotions that make a holiday unforgettable!

2. Your ideal beach is...

A) Secluded and untouched. I prefer an unspoiled shore, where the beauty of nature meets the caress of a light summer breeze.
B) Bustling and authentic. I want to meet locals, scuba dive to shipwrecks and ride the waves at a world-class surf spot!

3. When we say nightlife, you say…

A) Dinner. Preferably at an elegant restaurant where I can indulge in exotic dishes—octopus salad, anyone? Bonus points for a cocktail or two.
B) Party. Whether it's dancing in a club or showing my sega moves on the beach—the night has to come alive!

4. Adventure rhymes with…

A) Nature. I can’t wait to explore the island’s picturesque nature — hiking through lush forests on the Ferney Trail, discovering hidden mangroves, or hopping on a boat to picture-perfect islets like Île aux Cerfs.
B) Culture. I want to tick off all the best places to visit in Mauritius — Port Louis, the Aapravasi Ghat, Chamarel, and the iconic Le Morne Brabant, just to name a few. And of course, a stop at a rum distillery is a must!
