Mauritius is an idyllic tropical island hideaway nestled in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, 1,243 miles off the south-east coast of Africa. Some 40 miles in length and 28 miles wide, the island boasts 205 miles of coastline – much of which is comprised of pristine white or gold sandy beaches that are protected by an almost constant halo of coral reef a few hundred metres from the shore.
This stunning frame encircles a rugged but beautiful interior, featuring dormant volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, pockets of dense, green rainforest, tea plantations, colonial mansions and field upon field of rich, green sugarcane.
It is these unique features, together with the warmth of the Mauritian people, their unparalleled commitment to quality of service and the island’s broad range of resorts – priced to suit most budgets, from affordable three-star to five-star plus luxury – that entices visitors back to Mauritius time and again.
