Mauritius Beaches

Clear warm water and endless white beaches - Mauritius Holidays makes this tropical dream come true.

Its large lagoons lined with fine white sand are the embodiment of paradise to those who want to enjoy the sea or just a soak in the sun. All around the island, large strips of public beaches offer unbeatable relaxing possibilities during the week and great opportunities to mix with the local population at the weekends

Most public beaches are safe for swimming, and ideal for coastal walks and scenic sightseeing.

• The North is famous for water sports such as waterskiing, windsurfing , sailing , deep sea fishing, and parasailing. In the evenings, with a view on the sunset, the trendy bars, restaurants and clubs buzz with life.

• The East is wilder and less developed, offering a spectacle of nature. The white beaches of Palmar and Belle Mare stretch endlessly along the coast, fringed on one side by the shady green casuarinas trees and edged by the lagoon on the other.

• The South East is known for its high cliffs which provide for a picturesque sight as you go round the southern tip of the island. Here the breaks in the reef allow the open sea to come right up to the land, crushing against the rocks creating a craggy and dramatic coastline

• Enjoy magnificent sunsets and deep sea fishing along the West coast. Surfers should head for Tamarin, which is the surf centre of Mauritius There, beginners can come to grip with the basics of surfing at the surf school.

Most beach hotels in Mauritius provide complimentary water sport facilities to their clients. Scuba diving, parasailing and deep sea fishing are available at extra cost.

Motor boats are not allowed to exceed 5 knots in specific zones inside the lagoon, namely in Flic-en-Flac and Trou d’Eau Douce. Other regions will follow soon.

Delicious tuna sashimis, home-made sorbet, braised fish with rum and lemongrass: savoury elements to sharpen your appetite… Meals and recipes are cooked up “à la minute” for enhanced saveurs and additional taste.

Wedding in Mauritius

Want your Wedding in Mauritius? Here are useful information you will need to make it possible.

Among the most popular hotels are the picturesque Trou aux Biches, the luxurious Royal Palm, Prince Maurice, Dinarobin and Le Touessrok, Shandrani, The Residence, Belle Mare Plage, Beau Rivage, Paradise Cove, Maritim Hotel, Legends and La Pirogue, with weddings taking place on the beach or at a decorated location in the hotel's grounds.

Marrying in Mauritius is easy. Both bride and groom have to be over 18 (or have legal parental consent).

History of Mauritius

After a brief Dutch settlement, French immigrants who came in 1715 named the island Île de France and established the first road and harbor infrastructure, as well as the sugar industry, under the leadership of Gov. Mahe de Labourdonnais. Blacks from Africa and Madagascar came as slaves to work in the sugarcane fields. In 1810, the British captured the island and in 1814, by the Treaty of Paris, it was ceded to Great Britain along with its dependencies.

Indian immigration, which followed the abolition of slavery in 1835, rapidly changed the fabric of Mauritian society, and the country flourished with the increased cultivation of sugarcane. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 heralded the decline of Mauritius as a port of call for ships rounding the southern tip of Africa, bound for South and East Asia. The economic instability of the price of sugar, the main crop, in the first half of the 20th century brought civil unrest, then economic, administrative, and political reforms. Mauritius became independent on March 12, 1968.

The effects of Cyclone Claudette in 1979 and of falling world sugar prices in the early 1980s led the government to initiate a vigorous program of agricultural diversification and develop the processing of imported goods for the export market. The country formally broke ties with the British Crown in March 1992, becoming a republic within the Commonwealth.

In addition to sugarcane, textile production and tourism are the leading industries. Primary education is free, and Mauritius boasts one of the highest literacy rates in sub-Saharan Africa.

With a complicated ethnic mix—about 30% of the population is of African descent and the remainder is mostly of Indian descent, both Hindu and Muslim—political allegiances are organized according to class and ethnicity.

In Feb. 2002, Mauritius went through four presidents in succession. Two resigned within days of each other, each after refusing to sign a controversial anti-terrorism law that severely curtailed the rights of suspects. The law, supported by the prime minister, was ultimately signed by a third, interim president. At the end of February, a fourth president, Karl Offman, was elected by parliament.

In Oct. 2003, Paul Berenger, a white Mauritian of French ancestry, became the first non-Hindu prime minister in the history of Mauritius. Berenger and the previous prime minister, Anerood Jugnauth, formed a coalition during Sept. 2000 elections. Under their agreement, Jugnauth served as prime minister for three years and Berenger assumed the prime ministership for the remaining two years of the term. Jugnauth then became president in 2003, and in July 2005, Navin Ramgoolam, prime minister from 1995 to 2000, again assumed that office.
