Referred to as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”, Mauritius is a tropical island with distinctive nature and wonders. It is also part of the Mascarene Islands, which is a triad comprising Reunion Island (French territory) and Rodrigues Island (Mauritius’ sister island). Deemed officially as the Republic of Mauritius, many offset islets and outer islands are under its territories.
The exotic island is located about 800 km east from Madagascar Island and 2400 km from the southeastern coast of Africa. In retrospect, Mauritius emerged around 7 to 10 million years ago from an undersea volcanic eruption. Though dormant now, it still has remnants of its volcanic origin across the island’s geographical formations.
Considered as part of the African Continent, Mauritius is a famous destination for adventurers and honeymooners. Its prime location makes getting to the island quicker with direct flights from major cities across the globe like Paris, London, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Perth and others. It also has a modern port at the Port Louis harbour for cruise ships.
