Mauritius is an exquisite island off the coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. The island’s very name conjures up images of tropical luxury and white idyllic beaches. Known as the last paradise on Earth, Mauritius holidays offer something for everyone - exotic flora and fauna, crystal clear turquoise lagoons, white sandy beaches and a perfect tropical climate. But while most idyllic destinations may eventually leave you wishing for something to do besides sunbathing and swimming, you’ll be spoilt for choice in Mauritius. The island is loaded with historic sights, cultural diversity, geographic variation and almost limitless activities to distract you from the daily grind of beach and pool. Add to this the joys of Chinese, Indian, French and African cuisine, the rousing beat of sega music and the infectious party spirit of the local scene and you will begin to understand why Mauritius holidays are such a favourite. That said, perhaps its single biggest asset is the relaxed charm of its warm and welcoming people. The Mauritius beach villas listed on our site are located in and around most of the best beaches – from the stunning sand rimmed lagoons and popular wide windswept bays to the islands off the shore.
