Mauritius, a tropical island situated in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa, is 60km long and 40 km wide, with a coastline of 160km which is completely surrounded by coral reef. Mauritius has all the beauty of the most exotic retreats, the island basking in splendid isolation of the warmest ocean.Mauritius is the most accessible island in the Indian Ocean, boasting as much tropical paradise as Maui or Martinique and, better still, offering it at a bargain price. Though nestled up alongside Africa, it's actually more influenced by its British and French ties and predominantly Indian workforce.
When to go
Arguably the best time for a Mauritian visit is when the rain eases off from May to December. Maximum temperatures during these months average around 25°C (77°F) compared to only slighly warmer 30-32°C (86-89°F) in January, and you'll stay drier.
