Mauritius is a tropical island located in the southern Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar and South Africa. In recent years Mauritius has rightly become a popular tourist attraction, with superb natural beauty and good tourist infrastructure. The development of it's infrastructure has been carefully undertaken and it has lost none of the charm of its cosmopolitan population, nor its natural beauty.

There are excellent white sandy beaches around most of the island, which contrast with the lush vegetation of the hilly highlands and central plateau. The vegetation itself, continuing the contrast, ranges from the tropical to the temperate. The climate provides an all year tourist season with average coastal winter temperatures of 24°C. Readily accessible by air and with a range of accommodation to suit all tastes, Mauritius is definitely the place for the discerning traveller.
