GENERAL INFORMATION

ABOUT MAURITIUSMauritius is situated 3000 kilometres to the east of the African continent. The diversity of its rich lands extends over 1865km2. Its superb 160 kilometres coastline, multi-coloured coral reefs, and picturesque mountains make it the gem of the Indian Ocean.

With average temperatures of 22°C in winter and 31°C in summer, the coastal regions are the ideal destinations for holidays all year round.

People are as diverse as they are welcoming! Revelling in the fact that they live in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Mauritians will share the pleasures of their island spontaneously and joyfully. The majority of the population are of Indian origin, but the mosaic of ethnicities includes African, Chinese and European. This melting pot has allowed all the communities to live together in perfect harmony with the Creole language at the heart of a national identity. English and French are also fluently spoken.
