Mauritius remote and popular
White sandy beaches, warm water, palm lined boulevards and five star hotels Mauritius these remote islands have so much to offer the tourist. Mauritius is located in the Indian Ocean some 500 miles from the coast of Madagascar. Remote is the only word I can think of that describes where these islands are. Occupying a land mass of less the 2 thousand square miles and having a population under 2 million these are wonderful tropical islands to retreat to. Once there you won’t feel so remote, but pampered. The locals are very friendly and welcoming to the visitors to the islands and the resort staff well trained to attend to your every need.
These islands have been know and visited by Arabian explorers and traders for many centuries. The islands were first visited by Portuguese explorers in the early 1500 hundreds. Over the following centuries these islands were occupied by British, Dutch and French before obtaining Independence in 1968. Today the islands pride themselves as a popular and relaxing tourist destination.
The islands are a very popular tourist destination today, with many European visitors and a growing number of Americans discovering this paradise. With a consistent tropical climate out door activities and beach going can be done here year round. Resorts, shops and resturaunts catering to the tourist are in abundance here. Along with shopping venues as well as a very active night life there is always something to do. Several towns ring the island Port Louis is the capitol and largest city. Around the island and in land are towns each with its own charm and appeal. Being a small island visiting many towns while on holiday here can be done easily.
While the islands are busy and crowded with tourists from the northern regions in the winter, summer can be the time to find a quieter holiday and more casual relaxed atmosphere.
