Mauritius
Known for its beaches, lagoons, and reefs, Mauritius is probably the closest you'll ever come to paradise. Mark Twain, after all, had said: "Mauritius was made first and then heaven, heaven being copied after Mauritius."
Although that was said over a century ago, Mauritius continues to be a heavenly paradise. Experience bliss as you take a catamaran out to the beautiful Île aux Cerfs and sail across crystal blue waters to see colorful corals and schools of fish or spend your days going on escapades to other locations such as Gabriel Island – a beautiful, protected natural reserve with untouched beaches and many more idyllic destinations.
