Mauritius is a coral reef-surrounded archipelago in the Indian Ocean, with its largest island sharing the same name as the country. Mauritius can confidently be called one of the Earth's paradises. The sun shines year-round, and the water temperature never drops below +22°C. The island's hotels are top-notch, and nearly all of them offer spa services. But relaxing on white sandy beaches under palm trees, diving, yacht and catamaran trips, and kitesurfing are just the beginning. The island’s truly unique nature, with many plants and animals found nowhere else, attracts visitors from all over the world.

WHAT TO SEE IN MAURITIUS

Chamarel Park with its colored sands, giant Seychelles tortoises, a stunning waterfall, and a forest of ebony trees.
The Tamarin Seven Cascades, where you can even swim.
The underwater waterfall illusion, located off the coast of the Le Morne Brabant peninsula in the southwest of Mauritius. Underwater currents create the appearance of cascades plunging into the ocean floor. The best way to view this world-famous phenomenon is via a helicopter tour.
Grand Bassin Lake, accompanied by a vibrant Hindu temple, large statues of the goddesses Bhange and Durga, and many monkeys you can feed bananas and apples.
Combine a dolphin-watching tour with snorkeling near the archipelago’s smallest island, Crystal Rock.
Visit the 23-Colored Earth Park, where you can walk above the jungle on a suspension bridge or soar over it on a zipline.
The island's capital, Port Louis, where you can stroll along the chic waterfront, enjoy street food, shop for souvenirs at the market, and visit the colorful Tamil Kaylasson Temple.
