North-coast expat hub; best nightlife & dining, but pricier & touristy.
West-coast beach town; relaxed, water sports, lower CoL than Grand Baie.
Laid-back upscale surf area; nature & outdoors, fewer amenities.
Capital & largest; markets, museums, cheap suburbs, but congested & no beach (business hub, weaker base).
Tropical maritime; warm and humid year-round, with a hot, wetter summer (Nov–Apr) and a cooler, drier winter.
Mauritius has an extensive, inexpensive bus network covering most of the island, now complemented by the modern Metro Express light-rail line linking Port Louis with Curepipe. Services can be slow and infrequent in rural areas, so many residents and visitors rent cars or scooters. The island is small enough that buses and ride-hailing cover most everyday needs.
