Mauritius holidays
Cast adrift in the Indian Ocean, where continents combine, Mauritius is a marvellous mix of African, Indian, European and Oriental influences. The island is surrounded by a huge reef sheltering the shallow lagoons, whose waters meet a shoreline of sugar white beaches. These lead to a landscape of sugar cane plains, waterfall pools and forests of ebony and eucalyptus before finally reaching the peaks of bare and broken rocks that make a moonscape of the mountains. With such diversity in so small a country, it is possible to think, as Mark Twain did, that this was the prototype on which paradise was fashioned.
In contemporary Mauritius, the capital Port Louis has an international atmosphere, the coastline is home to a classic collection of fine hotels, there is a choice of world class golf courses and the beaches and lagoons are havens for a whole raft of watersports. Not least, the island is home to some of the most friendly people, so you can expect the very best hospitality.
Mauritius makes a marvellously relaxing home for the whole of your luxurious holiday, or perhaps use the easy flight connections from East and Southern Africa to twin it as a second holiday after somewhere equally exotic and arguably more adventurous. A spell under the vast and vaulted skies if Africa, on safari in some of the finest game reserves, could be the perfect contrast to lazy island days. With the most cosmopolitan character of all the Indian Ocean islands, Mauritius offers a wide range of holiday styles and the finest of leisure facilities in a stunning tropical setting.
