It is easy to run out of adjectives when attempting to describe the natural beauty of the small tropical Indian Ocean island paradise of Mauritius.
The volcanic island Republic, covered with lush forest, streams and waterfalls, and fringed with palms, dazzling white sands and teeming coral reefs, lies east of Madagascar just south of the Equator. Mauritius, covering just 720 square miles (1,864 sq km), is the archetypal dream destination for an idyllic holiday, equipped with modern resorts that have been carefully developed to preserve the island's beauty and ecology.
Along with its natural beauty Mauritius has a valuable tourist resource in the warmth and friendliness of its multi-cultural population. Most of the tourist resorts are situated along the coastline, on the west coast, being the centre of operations for most visitors.
Anytime is a good time to travel to Mauritius, which has great weather all year round, except possibly when the odd cyclone pays a visit. Cyclones can be expected between January and March, with several being experienced each year, usually lasting a day or two.
Other than that summer, between November and April, brings scorching temperatures and high humidity, tempered somewhat by sea breezes on the coast. In winter it may be a few degrees cooler, but the sun keeps shining and the sea is still tepid.
Time: GMT +4.
Electricity: 230 volts, 50Hz. Square three-pin plugs and round two-pin plugs are commonly used.
Money: The currency of Mauritius is the Mauritian Rupee (MUR), which is divided into 100 cents. Travellers cheques and foreign currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and larger hotels.
