Calling Mauritius an island paradise is an understatement; with white sandy beaches, lush green foliage, turquoise blue waters, lavish resorts, Mauritius is the perfect honeymoon destination. Being a volcanically erupted island, it's completely surrounded by vast and colourful coral reefs making it an ideal place for snorkelling and scuba diving. Although Mauritius is world-famous for its heavenly beaches and resorts, it also has intriguing history and unperturbed environmental beauty. One can explore the endless sea on a calming boat tour, or embark on the popular Mauritian trek up to the Les 7 Cascades, a group of 7 waterfalls in a forest.Sunny, multi-cultural Mauritius certainly seems close to heaven, if your idea of heaven is miles of white beaches, warm turquoise seas, colourful street markets, diverse culinary traditions and excellent accommodation and activities for all budgets.
