You will want to be a poet to describe the beauty that Mauritius holds once you set foot on this glorious island; I did the same when I saw the many natural wonders of Mauritius, the island that, according to ancient myths and legends, is said to have been created before Heaven.
Well, although geologically, this isn’t really true, legend has it that around 8 million years ago, Vulcan, the blacksmith and god of beneficial fire, set out to create this tropical paradise-like corner of our planet. Everyone who has been there has to admit that in this particular case, the fire from him was incredibly beneficial. Also, he sprayed the forges thoroughly, so there’s no need to worry about them burning again. You are absolutely safe.
Holidays in Mauritius are like beautiful dreams: fluffy, a little fuzzy and delicately heady. AND; of course very nice.
The first thing that pleasantly surprises tourists upon their arrival in Mauritius is the pure air: very clean, fresh and free of pollutants with a very pleasant slight smell of the sea. You inhale it and immediately get a little drunk. Then you see the beaches; dazzling fine white sands and turquoise tones of crystal clear waters. No wonder Mauritius was recently awarded the title of Best Beach in the World. Here you can leave all your worries and problems behind and swim in the shimmering marine lagoon protected by a large coral reef. These three elements: sea, sand and air, are usually enough for you to quickly forget about day-to-day worries and start living the dream.
But if this is not enough to convince or persuade you to book a holiday in Mauritius, there are the mountains with lush green tropical forests if you venture further inland, you also have small uninhabited islands off the coast to explore, some of which are natural reserves. with biotopes full of interesting creatures and animals.
Scattered all over the island you will also find cozy restaurants or taverns offering an original mix of cuisines and playing live sega, the island’s lively music, a living expression of the authentic Mauritian way of life: joyful and vibrant. Mauritius also offers a large number of activities that you can participate in. The list of these could go on and on, so I’ll just mention a few of the most popular: diving the colorful coral reef, snorkeling the shallow clear lagoons, deep sea fishing, and submarine rides.
Yes, I wished I was a poet on my last vacation in Mauritius, but now I have a feeling that even if I were, words would fail me anyway.
The last piece of good news about Mauritius is that English is more or less the official language of the island and most people speak at least some of it, with French Creole being the other most widely spoken unofficial vernacular. Therefore, there is no need to use your arms to make silly gestures to make yourself understood. In Mauritius, the language, like its beauty (and almost everything else), flows easily.
