Mauritius, the most romantic of destinations sits in solitary splendour,
a tiny speck in the vast Indian Ocean. The tropical island has 60
miles of glorious coral beaches fringed with coconut palms and Casuarina
trees.
Mauritius is the perfect holiday. Days spent on a sun-swept powdery beach flow seamlessly into one another accompanied by the soothing music of the sea.
Experience a gastronomic paradise, a spectacular Spa and an 18-hole championship golf course. In the islands' interior, you will find good opportunities for hiking and trekking.
Indulge your mind, body, and soul, away from busy schedules and the rush of daily life.
Mauritius is good news for nature lovers and great fun for the kids: swim with dolphins or go whale watching.
Visit the most exotic tropical gardens in the world:-the Gardens of Pamplemousses.
