Mauritius is part of the Mascarene Islands. This archipelago was formed in a series of undersea volcanic eruptions, as the African plate drifted over the Reunion hotspot about 10 million years ago.The Republic of Mauritius consists of the most populous main island of Mauritius, sparsely populated Rodrigues to the north-east, the Cargados Carajos Archipelago to the north and the small islands of Agalega 1000km to the north.
The Island of Mauritius is fifty-eight kilometres in length and forty-six kilometres at its widest point. It has a dramatic landscape of wild jagged peaks, a lush central plateau sloping gently down to the white, sandy beaches that are mostly protected by coral reefs just off-shore.The north is the flattest part of the island, rising gently as you move inland. The north-west coast, incorporating the capital city of Mauritius as Port Louis and the popular tourist city of Grand Baie is also the location of some of the best beaches on the island and therefore some of the most idyllic accommodation.
