Mauritius is the most accessible island in the Indian Ocean, boasting as much tropical paradise as Maui or Martinique and, better still, offering it at a bargain price. Though nestled up alongside Africa, it's actually more influenced by its British and French ties and predominantly Indian workforce.

Arguably the best time for a Mauritian visit is when the rain eases off from May to December. Maximum temperatures during these months average around 25°C (77°F) compared to only slighly warmer 30-32°C (86-89°F) in January, and you'll stay drier.

All visitors are required to have a passport and onward ticket in order to enter the country. Most visitors do not require visas for stays of up to 90 days. Contact a Mauritian embassy prior to your visit.

Recent History
In 1999 tensions between the Créole population, descended from former slaves, and the Indo-Mauritian majority exploded. Popular reggae singer Joseph 'Kaya' Topize was arrested during a rally to legalise marijuana and died of a skull fracture while in police custody. Riots broke out across the island, particularly in Port Louis.While there have been no more major riots, the economic situation today isn't so rosy. By the end of 2003 growth had slipped back and unemployment shot up to around 10%The main cause of the downturn is competition from cheap textiles from South-East Asia.Though this has taken the shine off Mauritius's 'economic miracle', it's not all doom and gloom. The number of tourist arrivals continues to grow.
The other major plank in the government's strategy is to encourage foreign investment in telecoms. The latest talk is of Mauritius becoming a 'CyberIsland', fully wired up with all the latest technology and ready to become a key player in the region's information networks.

On the political front, Paul Bérenger made headlines in 2003 when he became the country's first non-Indian prime minister. It was short-lived, however - Navinchandra Ramgoolam, son of Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, took over as prime minister in July 2005.
