An exotic, carefree tropical paradise in the Indian Ocean. Some call it ‘Little India’ because the Diaspora constitutes nearly 70% of the population. The island is a melting pot of cultures, religions and citizens with Bhojpuri, Tamil, Telugu, Creole, Franco-Mauritian, Chinese and European descendants. Colourful and cosmopolitan, it is an intoxicating medley of languages, cuisine and a calendar packed with Indian festivals.
