Mauritius is an ideal place to enjoy a relaxing holiday

Mauritius is an ideal place to enjoy a relaxing holiday. The tropical island is famous for its unique sun, sand, sea and, without forgetting, for the heart-touching Mauritian hospitality. Situated in the Indian Ocean, in the east of Madagascar, with a surface area of 720 square miles, the pear shaped island offers visitors the magnificent landscapes of the countryside and sea views within a few miles of travel.

The natural beauties of the paradise island include its sea, waterfalls, rivers, craters, natural forests and its odd shaped mountains. Due to the latter, some have baptised Mauritius as the Mystical Island affirming that the mountains of Mauritius conceal truths about the future of the world that will be exposed in the near future- let’s wait and see! Anyway whether you are here to enjoy sun baths, float the ocean’s bed, trek forests or touch the heights of the mountains, the multi-facetted beauty of the island will surely marvel your mind and heart. So whether you are visiting the paradise island as a spiritual tourist, for the wedding of your dream, for honeymoon, for business or you are on family vacation, Mauritius always opens its arms large saying “Welcome Home!”.

Welcoming visitors in itself is a culture in the country. The warm legendary welcome and friendliness of Mauritians makes Mauritius the second home for visitors. The island offers a whole range of facilities ranging from bungalows to five star hotels for accommodation, tourist info centres, spas, guided tours, 24-hour taxi services, and tourism police.

Shopping: The island's reputation as a shopping paradise is strengthened by the diversity and quality of shopping opportunities that are present on Mauritius. Textiles are a favourite, Mauritius is home to some of the finest textiles (Ralph Lauren Brand for one ) - Mauritius is a typical seaside resort and the island has a flourishing swimwear designing trade, (Beachwear another popular brand name), will conquer you with its magnificent lines and shimmering colours, see the basketwear, embroidery, pottery, cut stones, glass wear, hand crafts, particularly model ships, the list just goes on and so does the shopping on Mauritius.

Population: at different times in the history of Mauritius people of different origins have settled from India, Africa, China, France, Holland,
England bringing their culture, language, values and traditions, the figure today is estimated at some 1.5 million.

Economy: contrary to some peoples thinking, Mauritius is not a humble and poor country that is reliant upon tourism, far from it. The Mauritian economy rests on four main pillars Textiles, Sugar, Service Sector and Tourism. Sugar had for a long time been the major foreign exchange earner before gradually losing relative importance to those of Financial Services and Information Technology, now perceived as the future growth engines for Mauritius.

Climate: In the central part of the island, 600 metres above sea level, the average maximum day-time temperatures varies from 20 degrees C in August, to 26 degrees C in February. Along the coastal areas, where most of the holiday resorts are situated, the temperatures are generally 3 to 5 degrees higher.
