Mauritius Holidays
If emerald jungle-covered mountains, white sandy beaches, waterfalls and elegant colonial houses surrounded by fields of sugar cane are what you are looking for, then Mauritius luxury holidays are for you. Intriguing pasts are reflected in the Indian, French, Creole and Chinese cultural influences, while glamorous cafés, nightclubs and al fresco cocktails bars proclaim a cosmopolitan lifestyle. Don't miss the experience of eating spicy samosas bought from roadside stalls, or tucking into dhollpuri, a local speciality in Mauritius. And as you sway to the rhythm of the Séga dance, you will wonder what took you so long to discover this Gaugainesque corner of paradise.
