people from various communities and religious
backgrounds, you will find out the b bonds
that link people. From an early age, Mauritian
people learn to build friendship ties beyond those
differences. Mauritian identity has thus emerged
from a unique sense of unity amongst cultural
diversity.
This openness towards friends from other communities
has extended into natural welcome to foreign guests.
Mauritians are indeed eager to share their culture,
traditions and emotions with tourists.
Moreover, in mauritius hotels this
welcome has been given a professional touch. We
do our best to pamper our tourists during their
stay. Quietness, peace and relaxation are our
precious gifts to visitors; we want you to back
home relaxed and full of happy memories.
