Mauritius Island is more than just gorgeous beaches.
There's lots of natural beauty you will want to see and if you talk to the locals, they'll just love to tell you all about Mauritius.

Inland features include a vast central plateau, subtropical forests, rivers, streams and waterfalls. Bordering this tableland are several mountain ranges consisting of varied shaped masses of basalt testifying the volcanic origins of the island of Mauritius.

Three peaks emerge all around 820 metres in height. Mauritius has a long and interesting history in which the British play a very important part, see our history page.

Hotels in Mauritius : Are amongst the finest in the world (they're my favourite).
Firstly, their location - most of the hotels in Mauritius are situated along the coastline - as 'beach resorts' - they have the most gorgeous of outlooks, often with large areas of well-kept, short cut, green grass, ideal for sun bathers not wishing to be on the sand - then across a white powdery sandy beach leading in to the inviting, turquiose coloured, Indian Ocean, which ripples gently in on to the beach.

The facilities the hotels offer are too numerous to mention here, but we endeavour to list as many as possible on each hotel in Mauritius which we feature on their individual web-page, including our collection of 'all inclusive holidays' and 'package holidays'.

The staff - Oh ! . . they truly are wonderful - everything is so very personal, our clients return home from Mauritius amazed at how the smallest little datail is covered and attended to, with a warm smile and sincerity.
