Port Mathurin, nestled on the north coast of Rodrigues Island, serves as the island's beating heart. This charming town is the capital of Rodrigues, a dependency of Mauritius. The town functions as the island's main harbor, making it a vital center for trade and commerce.

Immerse yourself in the local atmosphere at the Marché de Port Mathurin, a bustling marketplace overflowing with fresh produce, handcrafted souvenirs, and local delicacies. For a curated selection of exquisite handcrafted gifts, Totì is a hidden gem.

Venture south of town to Mount Fanal Viewpoint and be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic vistas. Explore the historic Jummah Masjid mosque, or pay your respects at the Marie, Queen of Rodrigues Statue, a landmark located in Pointe Canon. While nightlife isn't a highlight, Port Mathurin's peaceful ambience by the water creates a relaxing escape.
