Mauritius is a luminous and brilliant island that mesmerises visitors with its effervescence; changing its hues and vibrant colours throughout the day and year to produce incredible effects.

Many fans of Mauritius use the hashtag #airmauritius360 each day to capture all sides of the island and celebrate its blushes, shades, tints and inexplicable lustre as they pass before us. There’s something elemental about Mauritius that creates an emotional connection with Mauritians and travellers.

Below we pick some recent Instagram favourites that have caught our eye. Thanks to everyone who has shared pictures and we hope to see some more #airmauritius360 images soon.
