Travel Diaries: St. Aubin, Mauritius

I recently visited the St. Aubin Plantation in Mauritius and decided to share my experience with you. It is a beautiful estate with a lot of different attractions; including the St. Aubin Residence, the Restaurant, the Vanilla Plantation, an old sugar mill, the tea route, a farm and stretches of green undulating slopes of Southern Mauritius.

The St. Aubin residence is a beautiful colonial style mansion with open verandas and wooden beams. It stands as a magnificent remnant of the colonial era in Mauritius. It is surrounded by lush green gardens which forms a habitat for several species of exotic birds. There are many exotic plants and flowers, too!

The living rooms and the verandas of the house have now been converted into a restaurant which serves authentic Mauritian cuisine. For those staying in the Inn, you get access to the exotic gardens and pool and can also go for horse riding or bicycle rides.

My visit this time was a short one, but I definitely want to go back and spend a lot more time exploring more of the hidden gems on the estate.

Sharing some pictures taken during my visit. Hope you enjoy them!
