With beautiful beaches and calm waters cradled by coral reef against a backdrop of wind-sculpted forested mini-mountains, Mauritius is a bucket-list destination, complete with a fusion cuisine.
Part of the African continent and one of the Indian Ocean’s most beautiful islands, Mauritius’s main appeal lies in its 177km of coastline, the majority of which is a dazzling palette of peacock hues. The outlying coral reef means that much of the shoreline is protected by translucent lagoons, with the opportunity for snorkelling, diving and water sports out by the reef.
