You gather the idea that Mauritius was made first, and then heaven, and that heaven was copied after Mauritius .
- Mark Twain, 1896
Like an emerald swathed in the translucent turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius captivates you with its natural beauty that boasts pristine white sand beaches, exotic flora and fauna, dramatic volcanic peaks, a green heartland, mild climate, and of course, its warm and friendly people who are woven from multi-cultured threads: Indian, African, Chinese, and European.
The natural attractions are complemented by well-preserved colonial buildings, the geometric rows of sugarcane plantations, and a wide array of shopping possibilities that range from traditional products like coffee, tea, ship models, glass products, to signature European clothing brands available at duty-free prices. Not to be missed is the comfort and pampering provided by the island’s sprawling and elegant resorts, most notable of which is the Naiade chain of hotels that are strategically located in different parts of Mauritius to cater to varying interests and budgets.
Mauritius can also be a gateway to the rest of Africa and convenient connections are available to Johannesburg in South Africa , Reunion Island , Madagascar , and Nairobi , Kenya .
Air Mauritius, the flag carrier of the Republic of Mauritius, the
flag carrier of the Republic if Mauritius, first took to the skies in 1967
and currently flies to twenty-five destinations in Africa, Asia,
Australia, and Europe with a young, modern, and competitive fleet of
mostly Airbus aircraft.
Air Mauritius acts as an ambassador for the country and in so doing reveals and pays tribute to the island and its people. Those who fly Air Mauritius realize that multiple elements on board celebrate "L'Esprit de l'Ile Maurice", the Soul of Mauritius. The new cabin configuration is in line with this approach and the rationale is to make the passenger’s in-flight experience a unique one in that the moment he steps on board, he feels he is already in Mauritius .
The concept developed is that of ‘An Island in the Sky’ where emphasis is placed on the island’s exceptionally beautiful natural scenery and rich and vibrant marine resources. This has been concretely depicted in the design of the new cabins where there is the omnipresence of the lagoon and the ocean, the green of the palm trees and the sugar cane fields, the colorful and rich ocean, the amazingly striking flowers, the unique colors of the Seven Colored Earths, to illustrate a few cases. The same concept is now being applied to different promotional and product items – the website as you will surely have noticed, cabin crew uniforms, promotional giveaways, booth design at fairs, to mention but a few.
Air Mauritius, recently awarded as the Leading Airline in the Indian Ocean and nominated as World’s Leading Airline in the 16th World Travel Awards, flies from Hong Kong to Mauritius every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday using a brand new Airbus 330. Convenient connections from Manila are available through partner airlines.
