About Mauritius
Mauritius is an idyllic island located 1,200 miles from the east coast of Africa, boasting an impressive 330 kilometres of immaculate white beaches, perfect for watersports, and a rich cultural heritage. Its 800-metre-high mountains and forests provide a home to rare wildlife, while its proximity to Madagascar has rubbed off on it in the form of creole cooking. Grand Baie is the culinary capital of the island and Mahebourg is packed with European influences. A coral-protected lagoon and one of the largest unbroken barrier reefs in the world make Mauritius the perfect destination for a tropical break.
