Mauritius Island
Indian Ocean
Mauritius is a tropical gem, set in the middle of the Indian Ocean on the east side of Madagascar. The island is renowned for its gorgeous beaches, its nature trails, its mixed culture and friendly people… In a word, it is the ideal destination for a rejuvenating break. For many years, the island has been a popular retreat for vacationers seeking a sun-drenched, peaceful, exotic place to be. With its enviable climate and luxuriant beauty, which have inspired some famous poets, it remains a natural choice in the pursuit of wellness.
Mauritius has a population of 1.3 million people of European, African and Asian descent. While English is the official language and French the dominant media language, Creole is the local patois that brings the people together. Bhojpuri and a few Chinese dialects are also used by some native-speaking communities. This melting-pot has endowed the country with a unique richness: here, temples, churches, mosques and pagodas merge in the landscape, while flavours of the world are revisited in the Mauritian style.
The wild and vibrant nature of the South is an invitation to slow down the pace and make space for oneself. With its beautiful coast, enchanting mountains, nature reserves and picturesque villages, this part of the island is certainly worth the visit – if not the stay. In fact, it is the ideal hideaway for those who need a blast of fresh air and a break from this restless world to reconcile with their inner selves.
The South brings about a whole range of emotions: the bird’s eye view from the Morne Brabant – a UNESCO World Heritage site – will take your breath away; the scenic route from Baie du Cap to Bel Ombre, dotted with quaint fishermen villages, will fill your heart with a sense of serenity; the wistful charm of Gris-Gris, where time seems to slow down, will leave you in a contemplative state; the fiery waves of Le Souffleur crushing upon the cliffs will stir up new energies within you…
