Mauritius holidays offer a wide range of things to take in - and one attraction that's a must-see is the lively Flacq market in the eastern part of the island. This colourful open-air market is the largest in Mauritius and draws crowds of tourists and locals each week. While some stalls are open on weekdays, it is on Saturdays and Sundays that the whole market comes to life, offering an array of goods ranging from clothing and souvenirs to fresh fruit and vegetables in the process. The Flacq village itself is a meeting point for eastern Mauritians, making this the perfect site for the market. Once you've haggled your heart out and shopped 'til you drop, there's much more to see and do in this part of the Indian Ocean island. Holidays to Mauritius often feature plenty of sunbathing and exploration of the stunning landscape, and you can undertake both of these activities in the Flacq district. The east coast in general is known for its amazing scenery - and you can delve deep into this by going on hikes in the mountains or trekking through the various parks and forests here. Notable parks include the 3,000-acre Domaine Les Paille - which is perfect for those who want to learn more about local history - and the Domaine de l'Ylang Ylang, which is filled with the heady scent of ylang ylang flowers and is a must-visit for nature lovers. The Flacq region is also home to various sights relating to Mauritius's colonial past. Other attractions in eastern Mauritius include the Waterpark Leisure Village and the island of Ile aux Cerfs, which is particularly popular for its beautiful beach - said to be the most stunning in the country - and potential for a wide range of water-related activities, including snorkelling, water-skiing, kayaking and windsurfing. Golfers will also enjoy the 18-hole championship golf course designed by Bernhard Langer at the Le Touessrok Hotel. There are more than enough things to take in on holidays to Mauritius to fill several months - but whatever you choose to see and do, it's likely you'll have the holiday of a lifetime.
