Surrounded by sandy white beaches and cooled by the flower-scented trade winds, Mauritius is the tropical island paradise, par excellence.

A wonderful place to get married and enjoy a dreamy honeymoon, it lies out in the Indian Ocean in peaceful seclusion. Look forward to elegant hotels offering wonderful spas, fine dining, excellent water sports, great kids' clubs and world-class golf courses.
The island's official language is

English, but you'll hear Creole, French, Hindi, Urdu and other tongues. The local Creole dance, Séga, is downright sexy - get those feet shuffling and that body gyrating! But before dancing time, there's eating to be done, and you'll find a magnificent mixture of cuisine here including Creole, European, Chinese and Indian, with brilliant seafood always the highlight.
