About Mauritius
Mauritius sits in the southwest Indian Ocean, 2,000 kilometres from the African coast, and offers a remarkable combination of natural wonders and refined hospitality. The island is ringed by a coral reef that shelters turquoise lagoons ideal for swimming and snorkelling, while the interior rises to dramatic volcanic peaks cloaked in tropical forest.
