Mauritius is another of those select place names that conjure the exotic…a place that you may not be able to find immediately on the map, but that you just know that when you do, it will have been worth your while.

Mauritius is an Indian Ocean paradise, sun and surf and sweet breezes; all the trappings of a perfect off-the-beaten track get-away. But graced with the amenities that go hand in hand with life’s sophisticated pleasures, a cultured cosmopolitan caché and a graceful style and ease of knowing that some of the best the world has to offer can be found within its shores. Mauritius has attracted the European rich and famous, and the rich and discrete…as well as those who want to enjoy the trappings…for many years. In the Western Hemisphere though, it’s been a fairly well kept secret.
