In the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, some 2,400kms off the South East Coast of Africa, just above the Tropic of Capricorn, lies the peaceful and beautiful tropical island of Mauritius. The island boasts 160kms of magnificent coastline with coral beaches, lush tropical vegetation and palm trees, and deep blue seas giving way to turquoise lagoons protected by spectacular coral reefs.

Not only is the marine beauty around the island stunning, but the island itself, with its lush vegetation and the sugar cane fields that stretch endlessly between the majestic mountain ranges, will be enough to take your breath away.

As colourful as its landscape, the 1,2 million inhabitants of Mauritius have a fascinating and colourful cosmopolitan blend of French, English, Indian, Chinese and Creole origins, adding to the island’s unique and vibrant appeal.

The island is ideally situated being merely four hours by plane from South Africa and eleven hours from France and England. There are direct flights from Mauritius to almost every capital city around the world.
