MAURITIUS
Mauritius – the island paradise is located 855 km to the east of Madagascar. It’s a year-round holiday destination with a moderate climate. Mauritius is home to some of the most exotic resorts in the world. The island is surrounded by spectacular coral reefs which transform the mighty Indian Ocean into beautiful lagoons along with their golden sun-kissed beaches and tall swaying coconut palms and Casuarinas. The lagoon water is astonishingly translucent in their hues of blue, green, turquoise, and indigo.
The beautiful people of Mauritius are also famous for their infectious smiles and disarming personalities. The Sega, a local dance derived from African music and Creole lyrics, leads to a foot-tapping atmosphere on the dance floor that even the most inhibited visitor finds difficult to stay away from. Mark Twain has famously recounted his visit to the island by saying, ‘You gather the idea that Mauritius was made first and then heaven; and that heaven was copied after Mauritius’.
Mauritius is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations in the world. Surrounded by the world’s warmest sea, visitors have access to all water sports like water skiing, windsurfing, parasailing, jet boating, undersea walking, etc. Popular day trips include a trip to the Island of Isle Aux Cerfs, the capital town of Port Louis with its lovely shopping centre at the Le Caudan Waterfront, Chamarel the Seven-Coloured Earth, a natural phenomenon that one will not find anywhere else across the world, and the most beautiful Grand-Baie village in northern Mauritius.
