The jewel of the Indian Ocean — lagoons, coral reefs, and a French-Creole culture like no other.
Mauritius is the perfect island of the Indian Ocean: white sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, coral reef diving, and multiethnic culinary traditions all meet here. The island blends French-Creole, Indian, and Chinese cultures into a unique mix. The Chamarel coloured earth is a natural wonder, and Black River Gorges National Park offers trekking through tropical jungle.
