The atelier Bernd Wilhelm is not paying commissions on sale! It can happen that a taxi driver will invent a story trying to bring you somewhere else! Contact the atelier directly for directions or let us help you with a chauffeur. Being a gold-smith master in third generation Bernd Wilhelm settled in Mauritius seventeen years ago. The paradise island of Mauritius inspires him since then in all creations. Yellow, pink, red or white 18 carat gold, brushed or polished, with or without diamonds - from these few elements Bernd Wilhelm dares all kind of combinations. The atelier can be visited on working days from 8 a.m. till 4:30 p.m. It is advisable to call one day in advance and get an appointment. You can pay cash or with a credit card and take the jewelry with you. VAT is refundable at the airport. Take a round in the showroom. Maybe your new favorite is already awaiting you!

At the Mauritius Glass Gallery you can experience the transformation of recycled glass into hand-made art pieces by our team of glass blowers.Our Hands-of Fame Museum offers a unique exhibition of 100% recycled glass hand-casts of international and local Celebrities to support of our Charity Foundation, Helping Hands.

Last week my mother came to visit me in Mauritius and just before she left to come back in Switzerland I took the opportunity to visit the Mauritius Glass Gallery to buy a gift for my brother: the famous glass of Phoenix, the most famous local beer in Mauritius. The Mauritius Glass gallery is located in Phoenix, a town in the Plaines Wilhems district, the central part of the island. The island is not big so whether you are in the north, south, east or west you will always arrive at the big roundabout of Phoenix and you will immediately realize that you almost arrived because there is always traffic there (I advise you to avoid rush hours because the road is literally BLOCKED). Once you arrive at the roundabout, you will see the huge building of the Phoenix Beverages, at that point follow the road signs to go south (The South / Curepipe) immediately after leaving the roundabout, you should take the second street on your left where you will notice already marked MGG (Mauritius Glass Gallery). At the entrance they will ask you to pay an entrance fee of 100 Rs (about 2.50 euros), which are donated to charities, so as you will not only see something very interesting but you will also do a good deed! The staff is extremely kind and will quickly explain the things you will visit. The main entrance and the entrance of the museum are separated by a wall, which I liked very much and is clearly built from recycled bottles of....Coca Cola! The first thing you will see during the visit is the gallery of molded hands of famous personalities divided into different categories: writers, sportsmen and TV personalities. The room is a little dark but gives the right setting to the whole room, in addition to the many hand molds you will also find several glass creations such as chairs, tables and mobile art. The visit continues in the hall of distorting mirrors. Nothing special, but my mom had a great time in front of the mirrors, I guess if there were a group of kids there they would have stayed in front of every mirror for several hours laughing. Leaving the corridor of mirrors you will find yourself in the atelier where you will see the most interesting part of the museum. Here you will see the glassworkers in action and you will be impressed of how the guys manipulate the glass, it looks so simple as children with the clay but in reality it isn't. At the end of the visit you will find the shop where you can buy the creations of the Mauritius Glass Gallery artists. Not only local souvenirs but also home decoration, plates, glasses, bottles and above all... the famous Phoenix mug ( that costs 395 Rupees that I have been looking to buy since a long long time (you can also have your name engraved on it with additional 50 Rs.) Monday - Friday: 8 am to 5 pm Saturday: 8 am to 12 Closed on Sundays and public holidays

We opted for the couples aromatherapy massage for two for 85 minutes for Rs 3500. We booked via email prior to arriving in Mauritius and were even sent a reminder a day prior to our spa visit. Shiring, at reception, was very accommodating and friendly affording us time to relax on the beds in the waiting room as we arrived early. The entire spa environment was welcoming and serene. We received a calming tea for a welcome drink and my husband and I dozed off while listening to the calming spa music. Our therapists, Reena and Chanda, were professional and considerate before, during and after our massages, giving us the privacy to change our clothes, keeping the environment calm and peaceful while remaining attentive to the correct pressure to apply during the treatment and taking note of pain sensitive areas. We were very happy with the choice we made for a spa while in Mauritius and just a day before returning home. We would definitely visit Kairali Spa again.

“By creating the only winery in Mauritius dedicated to the production of lychee wine, I wanted to write the art of winemaking differently:with a lot of audacity, some technical know-how and a great amount of fun. Some say we have stars in our eyes, some say we are extravagants. What is certain is that we are somewhere West of the Sun and East of the Moon." Alexander Oxenham, Oenologist Takamaka Boutique Winery proposes guided tours of its winery including a unique lychee wine tasting experience. Meet and Greet the Oenologist or his spouse for a human touch you will remember. Advance booking advised. Shop and Coffee corner available on site. Come for a relaxing time. Picnic lunch packs available at the Coffee Corner. Come, Experience, Enjoy.

Mauri Transfers were absolutely fabulous! My sister in law left her wallet in the car when being driven by Mauri Transfers to the airport and they were prompt enough to call us and tell us right away. They made sure to meet the airline rep and hand over the wallet as my sister in law was well into the airport by then. Hats off to such an honest driver and absolutely brilliant seamless service from Mauri Transfers. Cars were clean and well maintained!! Highly recommended!!
