PORT LOUIS (MRU)

Port Louis, the bustling capital of Mauritius, is a vibrant mosaic of history, commerce, and culture. Nestled between a deepwater harbor and the dramatic Moka Mountains, the city is defined by the Caudan Waterfront, where modern shopping meets colonial charm. In 2026, visitors can explore the UNESCO-listed Aapravasi Ghat, wander through the sensory-rich Central Market, or admire the world’s rarest stamps at the Blue Penny Museum. From the panoramic views at Citadel Fort Adelaide to the aromatic street food of Chinatown, Port Louis remains the essential, authentic heartbeat of this diverse Indian Ocean paradise.
