MAURITIUS Be there

Mauritius is renowned for its unique cuisine, with fresh ocean ingredients prepared in a melting pot of cultures. Make sure to sample the prawn rougaille, fish vindaye and octopus salad.

The fascination in the Mauritian landscape of sweeping palm-fringed bays, jagged jungle-clad peaks, swaying fields of sugar cane and bustling villages is matched only by its cultural makeup; an exotic blend of Indian, Creole, Chinese and European colonial influences, where pastel coloured Hindu temples rub shoulders with chapels and mosques, and the local cuisine is always captivating.
