Around 800 kilometers east of Madagascar, this island nation made up of the main island and several other inhabited (and uninhabited) islets, sits almost in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Mauritius wasn’t always the multicultural island nation that it is today. In fact, for a long time, it was uninhabited and visited only by passing traders.
The nation’s history of being a place of trade and colonization has led it to become a modern-day cultural melting pot.
Mauritius is abundant with wildlife, both on land and in the turquoise seas that surround it, with many rare species found here.
Being a beautiful island with white sand beaches, translucent seas, coral, culture, and rainforests, it’s no wonder that Mauritius is home to some seriously luxurious resorts.
