About Mauritius
An island that suits almost any holiday: a honeymoon, a family with children or a long, quiet break. Calm lagoons, green mountains and waterfalls, and white beaches all along the coast.
Mauritius is also a meeting of cultures. Hindu temples alongside churches, and a cuisine that blends Indian, French, Chinese and African influences.
