Mauritius continues to fulfill every visitor's dream of a
tropical island, from swaying palms to the dazzling blue of the
ocean, balmy nights and smiling people.
One of the loveliest
gardens in the world, the island inspires visions of unspoilt
natural beauty mellowing in the sun between sea and sky.
Its
racially diverse people is a part of the natural set up, ever
beaming with the typical gentle tropical smile of sensual,
carefree and contented happiness.
Mark Twain recorded his poetic delight when he wrote "You gather
that Mauritius was made first, and then heaven, and that heaven
was copied after Mauritius".
The Mauritian Garden of Eden is as
much marine and 'sub-marine' as it is terrestrial.
This jewel of the seas, set within the beautiful Indian Ocean,
is surrounded by a precious filigree of coral, created over
thousands of years from the bodies of tiny marine creatures.
