Mauritius is situated in the Indian Ocean, approximately 2,400 kilometres off the South East Coast of Africa. The island, which is of volcanic origin, covers an area of 1,865 square kilometres or 720 square miles.

Surrounded by a huge reef, cast adrift in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is made up of a montage of colours and textures, ranging from the blue waters, white beaches, lush greenery of the tropical flora to the craggy purple mountains, stark against the endless skies.

This paradise boasts jewel like lagoons warmed by the year round sun, waterfalls cascade encompassed by forests of eucalyptus and ebony. The Riviere Noire National Park epitomises this natural haven and invites you to explore its beauty and diversity.

Mauritius, a cultural place of African, Indian, European and Oriental influence, offering unsurpassed hospitality, and prides itself in meticulous attention to detail. World class hotels are nestled on the beaches and peek from the palm trees which provide ultimate privacy.
Water-sports, such as yachting, windsurfing and diving can be enjoyed. Food connoisseurs will be delighted with tastes reflecting Mauritius mixed cultures, fused to create spectacular dishes. Shopping can be sourced within the capital Port Louis, famous for its jade, silks and pottery. In all Mauritius ticks all the boxes if heaven can be found on earth.
