Discover essential information about Mauritius

Mauritius is a volcanic island nation in the Indian Ocean, about 2,000 km off the southeastern coast of Africa. A former Dutch, French, and British colony, it is today one of Africa's most economically advanced and multicultural countries—a melting pot of African, Asian, and European traditions. Its lagoons, reef-protected beaches, and luxury resorts make it a premier global tourism destination.
