Heavenly Mauritius
Welcome to sugar-white soft and sandy beaches, tropical lagoons, and secluded coves, caressed by crystal clear, sapphire water. Welcome to world class luxury hotels. Welcome to snorkelling, diving, water sports and golf courses to rival anywhere else on Earth. Welcome to an island paradise. Welcome to Mauritius.
Nestled in idyllic beauty, 1200 miles off the coast of Kenya, Mauritius has developed a unique character that sets it apart from other destinations. Modern-day Mauritians are of African, Malay, Indian and Chinese descent, brought here during colonialisation by both the French and British. All continue to influence and enrich the island’s history, languages, culture, and especially its outstanding cuisine.
So Much more than soft sandy beaches....
Enjoy some family fun, or simply kick back and relax for a while on one of those wonderful beaches but taking a short exploration inland reveals a very different and unexpected side to Mauritius. Discover one of the many artisan distilleries that produce an eye-opening variety of rums, together with an essential tasting session. Take in a visit to the Sugar Museum at Pamplemousses to trace the 250-year-old history of the plantations and how these have evolved to thrive in an eco-conscious world, then a stroll around the town’s fascinating botanical gardens, dating back to 1736, or marvel at the 7-million-year-old coloured earth at Chamarel. A helicopter ride above the gorgeous Le Morne peninsula is a must for a wondrous view of the ‘underwater waterfall’, an optical illusion caused by sand plunging to the depths of the ocean.
With a blend of Indian, African, French and Chinese, Mauritian cuisine is a foodie’s paradise. Try the street food in Port Louis like the Crab curry or Dholl Puri, a pancake made from yellow split peas and filled with a curry.
Whether you crave a well-earned escape, or are searching for the perfect honeymoon location, Mauritius offers so much, all waiting just for you.
