Hey there -
We are Local Spirit
Local Spirit? That’s right! That’s what happened when a Mauritian (Hi! My name is Allan!) and a Belgian (Nice to meet you; I’m Heidi!) bumped into each other at a local bar in Mauritius and started dreaming.
We invite you to embrace the rhythm of island life, to discover the ‘real Mauritius’. From lush nature hikes and sampling out-of-this-world local food to learning the secrets of health living through native flora and fauna, we give you a taste of true living through the eyes of authentic Mauritius.
Wonder is what’s in store.
