A natural wonderland

Mauritius is an island nation, comprising the main island Mauritius, Rodrigues, Agaléga and St. Brandon. It has two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the beautiful Le Morne Cultural Landscape and Aapravasi Ghat.

Mauritius is known for its incredible biodiversity, with some species being endemic to the island. If you are a keen nature-lover, it is the perfect place to find some of the rarest plants and animals.

The dodo called Mauritius home, and there are still some species of flora and fauna that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. Endemic plants include the Trochetia Boutoniana, only found on Le Morne Mountain, and declared the National Flower in 1992. Cassine Orientalis, or Bois d’Olive, is endemic to Mauritius and can be found throughout the native forest of the country. The Diospyros Tessellaria, or Ebony Tree, is also endemic to Mauritius.

Mauritius’ kind oceanic tropical climate allows for an abundance of plant life, allowing most plants to thrive, including ylang ylang, jasmine and lime.

Island adventures

Food lovers, holidaymakers and adventure seekers alike all flock to the destination to experience Mauritian joys.

When it comes to food, Mauritian cuisine is a fusion of Creole, French, Indian and Chinese. Fresh seafood, rice, spices and abundant vegetables are staple ingredients, and rum and sugarcane are two iconic staples seen throughout the island.
