THE TEA ROUTE

If you really want to get under the skin of Mauritius, the Tea Route is an absolute must. Spread across three magnificent estates, this journey will transport you back in time and show you a side of the island most tourists never get to see.

Here’s what’s in store:

At Domaine de Bois Chéri, explore a working tea plantation and its factory from leaf to cup, right before your eyes.

At Domaine de Saint Aubin, uncover the secrets behind sugar and rum making, wander through a vanilla plantation, and step inside a colonial house built in 1819.

And there’s plenty more to enjoy along the way…

Each of the three estates invites you to sit back, relax, and savour a delicious meal made with fresh, local produce all served in the shade of a colonial terrace. There’s also a boutique at each stop, perfect for picking up a unique souvenir to share with family and friends back home.

At Domaine de Bois Chéri, the adventure doesn’t stop there fishing, kayaking, hiking, and quad biking are all on offer if you want to explore the estate further.

At Domaine de Saint Aubin, the little ones will love the mini farm, and thrill-seekers can jump on a quad and head out through the sugarcane fields.
