MAURITIUS “Although thoroughly deserving of its paradise reputation and an abundance of sun, sea and sand, Mauritius is far from typical”
Situated more than 1,000km off the east coast of Madagascar and still 225km from its nearest neighbour Réunion, you would be forgiven for imagining Mauritius as an archetypal tropical island or atoll in the middle of the Indian Ocean. However, although thoroughly deserving of its paradise reputation and an abundance of sun, sea and sand, Mauritius is far from typical.

However, although thoroughly deserving of its paradise reputation and an abundance of sun, sea and sand, Mauritius is far from typical.
Mauritius is steeped in a colourful history that helps paint its picture today. Discovered by the Portuguese in the 16th century and later colonised by the Dutch, French and British for 330 years, it is no surprise that Mauritius today is such a multicultural nation. The island is diverse in almost every aspect of its character, through topography, landscape, language and culture.

Lush mountain ranges and verdant plains of sugar cane undulate from the centre of Mauritius to meet 150km of white sandy beaches around its coastline. Offshore, the world’s third largest coral reef surrounds the entire island, protecting its warm azure waters from the wilder Indian Ocean at large. Even the air in Mauritius is exotic, ranked second in the world for quality by the World Health Organisation.

Repeat holidaymakers are plentiful and this affluent, thriving nation is fast becoming a popular choice for overseas home ownership, for those who want more than just two weeks in the sun each year.
