Mauritius is the perfect year round tropical island destination, the island basks in splendid isolation in the Indian Ocean, and is surrounded by coral reefs filled with exotic and colourful sea-life making it ideal for diving and snorkelling. The reefs have created calm coastal lagoons which compliment the soft white beaches fringed with coconut palms. Inland you can find lush tropical gardens and dramatic mountain scenery.

Although the island offers the visitor everything in modern luxuries, such as great entertainment, shops, spas and resorts, for those wanting to see another side of Mauritian life, you can visit the quaint towns and villages and see fishermen setting out early to make their daily catch, quaint shops and restaurants, and the carefree, laid-back lifestyle of its people.

From the hotel of your choice you can explore the island by hiring a car or taking one of the many organised tours and excursions.
