MAURITIUS

Mauritius basks in splendid isolation in the warmest ocean of all, the Indian Ocean, bounded by Africa, India and Australia. Surrounded by a tropical sea, enhanced by golden beaches, covered with swaying fields of sugar cane and fringed with exotic coconut palms and casuarinas.

Mauritius is, in every sense of the phrase, sheer paradise. The lagoons are pristine, the coral on the reef is growing and the beaches are pure, powdery white. The top hotels are consistently being voted amongst the best in the world, and the rest are consistently excellent.

The island has what it takes and more, to satisfy the whims of sunbathers, beachcombers, sightseers, mountaineers, swimmers, yachtsmen, water-skiers, skin-divers, anglers, big game fishermen, philatelists, punters, golfers, gamblers, all night ravers and ultimate escapers.
