Get to Know: Mauritius

The Republic of Mauritius is a small island nation consisting of four inhabited and several other islands in the southwestern Indian Ocean.

This tropical island, once a haunt for pirates, is now best known for affordable luxury hotels on white sand beaches with volcanic mountain backdrops. It is an island for exploring, with Indian temples, colonial houses, botanical gardens, and opportunities to spot rare birds among soaring ebony trees, walk with lions or swim with dolphins. For Mauritians, a fusion of French, Indian, Creole and Chinese peoples, a big table of food with the family is happiness. This year is declared the Year of Mauritian Gastronomy, highlighting the island’s legendary hospitality.
