Mauritius

Mauritius is ringed by turquoise lagoons and coral reefs, with volcanic peaks rising behind its beaches. Spend lazy days at a beach resort, take a catamaran to Île aux Cerfs, see the Seven Coloured Earths of Chamarel and swim with dolphins off the west coast.

A free visa on arrival and a warm Indian-origin culture make it a favourite for honeymoons and family holidays alike.
