Situated in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is embraced by a spectacular coral reef, which transforms the Indian Ocean into coastal lagoons laced with golden beaches and fringed with exotic coconut palms. All this makes Mauritius an ideal place to indulge in whichever water sport you fancy, participate in big game fishing, or if you prefer to simply sightsee, there is the spectacular extinct crater, 5,000 acres of national forest reserves and botanical gardens. At night you can dine out in the excellent Indian, French and Chinese restaurants, some of which serve authentic Creole dishes. There are casinos and discos or you can sit back and marvel at the velvet Mauritian night sky.
