Mauritius

Historically diverse, Mauritius has been under Portuguese, Dutch, French and English rule, resulting in an eclectic mélange of architecture and culture, from meticulously created and maintained tropical gardens to the sumptuous silks and magnificent antiques of Port Louis, not to mention a variety of exciting fusion cuisines.

Blessed with a year round tropical climate, sugar cane fields thrive here, waterfalls spill over dramatic verdant cliffs, and the 700,000 year old volcanic ravine, Trou Aux Cerfs, is a splendid natural wonder to visit. Famous for its luxurious hotels, Mauritius is the perfect destination for weddings, honeymoons and memorable family holidays. Enjoy an exciting catamaran cruise, snorkel from white sand beaches, learn to dive in some of the world’s most spectacular underwater seascapes or try your hand at deep sea fishing. A holiday in Mauritius incorporates award-winning championship golf courses, lavish spas using locally sourced ingredients and authentic Mauritian treatments, a wealth of historical landmarks, including fabulously preserved Hindu temples, and a warm and friendly welcome from a decidedly affable and gracious population.
