Crystal clear waters and soft white sandy beaches form the ideal surroundings for a superb beach holiday. A unique feature of the landscape is the extinct volcanoes scattered around the island. The history of the island and its cultural variety blend to form a glorious mixture of the Indian, Chinese and Creole religions and cuisine.
The varied landscape, good quality hotels and watersports facilities along with the stunning beaches make Mauritius an excellent holiday destination.
Just inside the Tropic of Capricorn and some 1.200 miles off the coast of Africa lies the beautiful island of Mauritius. The stunning white sand beaches offer a superb choice of watersports, and the 330 kilometre coastline is almost entirely surrounded by one of the largest unbroken coral reefs in the world, perfect for diving and snorkelling.
The landscape of Mauritius is rich and varied, mountains dominate the islands interior, surrounded by gorges, lush fields of sugar cane and the beautiful sandy coves. The people of Mauritius are as varied as the landscape, a fascinating blend of people from Europe Africa India and the Far East have created a unique cosmopolitan island culture.
The standards of accommodation, facilities and service are very high in Mauritius, and there are many top class hotels. Evening entertainment is centred around the hotels and is mainly local folklore shows, Creole music and sega dancing.
The island is deceptively large and it is very easy to spend your holiday in the proximity of your hotel, however there is plenty to see and do other than relaxing on the beach.
