Six Summer Essentials you will need as an Islander
Have you been longing for the warmth of the sunshine on your skin? Turquoise waters sparkling like diamonds as you stroll along your favorite beach? Summer season in Mauritius is only a few steps away!
To mark our favorite season of the year, we’ve created a list of the top 6 summer essentials, crafted by our local artisans, so you can make the most of the sunny days ahead of us!
Sunscreen that protects your skin and our coral reefs!
You might not know it yet, but chances are that the sunscreen you are using right now contributes to the decline of our coral reefs. This is sadly caused by the UV-blocking chemicals (namely oxybenzone and octinoxate) resulting in coral bleaching.
Switch your sunscreen to a reef-safe sunscreen for the summer season in Mauritius! Grab your eco-friendly and refillable KokoSun sunscreen at The Pop Up Store which is a Made In Moris product, vegan and organic! Your skin and our lagoons will thank you

Make a statement with this over-sized, ultra spacious beach bag by Kreol Republic! Crafted from up-cycled material and 100% cotton, you can fit all your belongings for an island road trip and weekends at the beach!
