The stunning tropical island of Mauritius off the southeast coast of Africa has long been a popular holiday destination among visitors looking for a wealth of culture, history, pristine beaches and impeccable tropical climes. All of these things, combined with the unmistakable tastes of Mauritius cooking incorporating flavours from Indian, China and Europe, leave visitors wishing to relocate to this picturesque paradise. Rum production is a major industry here and a favourite pastime of both visitors and locals alike is enjoying the traditional music known as sega accompanied by a glass of local rum. Beach lounging is probably the number one activity to be enjoyed on the island, with endless white sand beaches surrounded by ocean waves that gently lap. Visitors often find that they have to trek to get to some of the island’s best beaches, giving a sense of adventure and making the end reward of seaside idylls all the more breathtaking.
