Mauritius is the most accessible island in the Indian Ocean, boasting a tropical paradise as Maui or Martinique. Though nestled alongside Africa, it is influenced by its British and French ties as well as its massive Indian workforce.

Here you can enjoy a dish of curried chickpeas or a nice Yorkshire pudding on the terrace of a French café, sipping imported wine or a thick malty ale while listening to Créole music and the conversation of locals.

Ideal for a lazy beach vacation, discovering the rambling interior or the multicultural capital Port Louis.
