A trip to Mauritius My family and I recently went to Mauritius for holiday. We went during off-peak season which was their winter. The local temperature was between18c-26c. It was just about right for us. It would have been too hot in the summer. Apparently it goes up to 40 something degrees. The island of Mauritius is located in the Indian Ocean. Sugar and Tourism are two important components of the Mauritian economy. The official languages are Mauritius,French and English. We stayed in this beautiful villa with a private pool. The villa was 5 minutes walk from one of the most popular beaches in Mauritius called Mon Choisy. We visited the famous Grand Baie which was only a ten minutes bus journey from where we stayed. With tasteful european style architecture and lush surrounding gardens, Mauritius is exactly what one needs for a well deserved holiday in the indian Ocean. We truly enjoyed it!
