Mauritius

Located at the confluence of the African and Asian continents, the topical island of Mauritius blends a kaleidoscope of colours and cultures to form a nation that entices with both beauty and wonderment.

Famously described as ‘heaven’ by Mark Twain, the glorious coral-infused waters of the Indian Ocean, the ivory sands of a stunning coastline and the majestic green carpet of the hilly interior truly live up to such a lofty reputation.

Beyond the terrific natural splendour and some of the world’s best diving spots, Mauritius beckons with a melting pot of cultural influences from Africa, Asia, India and Europe, making it a veritable treasure trove of unique experiences and discoveries for families and couples.
