Mauritius is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, situated off the South-eastern coast of Africa. It has stunning beaches with clear blue waters and coral reefs. The island was first discovered by Arabs in 975, who named it Dina Arobi. The Dutch settled here from 1598 to 1710 and later called it Mauritius. The French took over in 1715 when the Dutch abandoned the island and named it Isle de France. The English later occupied the island until Mauritius declared independence in 1968.
Mauritius was uninhabited for a long time. The Dutch briefly tried to settle but could not survive the epidemics and pest infestation. A majority of the country’s residents are descendants from India who arrived here as slaves to work in the sugarcane fields. Besides Indians, descendants of Chinese labourers, African slaves, and Dutch, French, and English colonists also form part of the country’s population.
Mauritius is famous for its sun-kissed beaches and translucent lagoons. These shorelines are made up of soft white sand bordered by coconut palms and casuarina trees. The turquoise waters are also perfect for various water sports like swimming, snorkelling, sailing, and kayak rides. Some of the famous beaches include Flic en Flac, Trou aux Biches, Belle Mare, and Ile aux Cerfs. Each of these beaches is unique and interesting. For instance, Belle Mare is ideal for parasailing, undersea walking, and snorkelling, while Poste Lafayette is the best place for kite and windsurfing.
