MAURITIUS
Picture-perfect paradise meets rugged adventure on this captivating island.
Sugar-sand beaches, sapphire shallow waters, tropical fish and enchanting coral reefs reflect a colour palette that is as diverse as the heritage of Mauritian culture. It is here that French, Creole, Indian and African influences can all be savoured in a spectacular melting pot of fusion cuisine.
If you can steal yourself away from the idyllic beaches, you need not venture far for rewards. Charming fishing villages back on to wild sheer cliffs - while magnificent nature reserves, roaring waterfalls, and romantic botanical gardens all wait to be discovered. Mark Twain can be forgiven for saying heaven was copied after Mauritius. It is an island bursting with colour, and with love.
