Behind these golden sands lies a land carpeted almost entirely in swaying fields of sugar cane, with occasional patches of tea and tobacco. The interior is well worth exploring, particularly the forested highlands and valleys around Plaine Champagne and the Black River Gorge. Your tailor-made holiday could also include big game fishing, or a visit to Pamplemousses and its beautiful, 300-year-old botanic garden featuring gigantic water lilies, Java deer and magical trees.
