Golf Destinations - Mauritius
Like a rich green emerald, swathed in the translucent, turquoise silk of the southwest Indian Ocean, Mauritius is a small island which has only recently developed tourism.
Only 58Km in length and 46Km at its widest point, Mauritius has a dramatic landscape of wild jagged peaks (the highest is 828 metres), a lush central plateau sloping gently down to the stunning 'blush pink' coral beaches and azure, crystal clear sea. Mauritius owes this remarkable landscape to the now inactive volcano, and to the coral reef which mainly surrounds the island.
It is the people of Mauritius that make it one of the most colorful and enjoyable of all tropical islands. Originally colonized by the French, followed by the British and eventually gaining independence in 1968, the island people have adopted the 'best' of their ancient colonial bosses, and added a rich mosaic of cultures drawn from the Indian, Chinese, portuguese and creole population.

Yes, this paradise island is pretty well off when it comes to golf courses.
