Mauritius is a small island hidden away in the Southern Indian Ocean and is blessed with sparkling white sand that meets aquamarine waters. However, it is so much more than simply a tropical island paradise.
The descendants of European, African, Indian and Chinese immigrants have all influenced the culture and traditions of the island's heritage.
Explore the French colonial homes, visit rum distilleries or take an Indo-Mauritius cultural tour.
For the more active, go hiking in the Chamarel Mountains, canyoning in the Tamarind Falls or snorkelling and diving in the Indian Ocean.
When it comes to gastronomic experiences, the island offers its heritage and tradition on a plate.
