Of volcanic origin and covered in tropical vegetation, Mauritius seems to rise from nowhere surrounded by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Mark Twain used to say that God copied the idea of heaven from Mauritius.
If the luxury hotels, white sandy beaches, coconut palm trees, tropical fruit, coral reef and clear waters offered by Mauritius are not enough to make you feel like you are in paradise, try all the water sports you wish, Go hiking in the lush tropical forests , go shopping in Grand Baie, stop to swim in refreshing waterfalls and meet the friendly local people. The possibilities of activity are spectacular including golf, world class diving and snorkelling, unlimited water-sports, deep sea fishing, spa treatments and numerous nightlife options.
Under its wonderful blue sky, Mauritius is a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic nation, waiting from the popular beaches are many sites which are witness to the historical, cultural and religion heritage of the island; museums relating the history of the island, markets and shops selling locally made and Imported goods and for those keen on Ecotourism, wonderful walks in the mountains and along the river banks. The cuisine and culture reflect a real fusion of different cultures - African, French, Creole, Muslim, Chinese and Hindu - making it all the more interesting.
