Mauritius
Introduction
Ornately decorated, pastel coloured Hindu temples by the roadside, lushly carpeted volcanic peaks, fields of swaying sugar cane and powder-white beaches mark out this Indian Ocean island, whose people are a friendly mix of Indian and Creole, with a past peppered with Dutch, French and British colonial influence. With stunning beaches, mountainous scenery, colonial towns and some of the best hotels, luxury spa and golf experiences in the world, a holiday to Mauritius.
