Crystal lagoon, dream beaches and cultural blend
Île Maurice, a jewel of the Indian Ocean, is a volcanic island lying about 900 km east of Madagascar. This tropical paradise of 2,040 km² enchants with its exceptionally clear turquoise waters, its white-sand beaches lined with casuarina trees, its abundant coral reefs and its unique Creole culture — a harmonious blend of African, Indian, European and Chinese influences. Port-Louis, the lively capital, sits alongside spectacular inland scenery: the Rivière Noire gorges, Chamarel with its Seven Coloured Earths and the Rochester Falls. Île Maurice is also world-renowned for its luxury hotels, among the most refined anywhere.
