Real travel is demanding: you need to spend time on it... Time to slow down, to savour life, the present moment, emotions: it makes it easier to understand and soak up the surrounding environment. Being part of the social life of a place, focusing on the quality and authenticity of the experience: these are the aspirations of new teleworking or vacationing travellers or those who have retired. Here is why you should choose Mauritius for this experience.

Getting to know a place and a culture more intensively: " travelling is the achievement of an often idealized dream." It is a dream to be explored, felt, touched and perhaps even sublimated. We wish you longer, slower, more contemplative and more meaningful journeys". Isabelle Descroizilles, our Managing Director, couldn't better describe the pleasure of a long stay, so appropriate to the exceptional multi-culturalism of Mauritius and its sublime landscapes. Taking the time to exchange, to listen, to share, to be more than just a passing visitor: discovering the other, the other way, rediscovering oneself, this is the promise of a long stay.                                                     

Mauritius, island of unlimited opportunities.

Sea, mountains, splendid beaches, museums, handicrafts, historical heritage, cultural life: the long stay gives you the opportunity not only to be initiated, but also to regularly practice water or land sports as well as leisure activities. Sign up for a yoga or painting workshop, improve your kiteboarding skills, climb all the practicable mountains or learn about the local cuisine: the long stay makes everything possible.
