History and Culture

Immortalised in Bernardin de Saint Pierre’s novel ‘Paul et Virginie.’

"You gather the idea that Mauritius was made first and then heaven, and that heaven was copied after Mauritius." ~ Mark Twain

Mauritius, land of rainbows, waterfalls, and shooting stars, was first sighted by passing Arab dhows as early as the 10th century. The Portuguese visited around 1510, but it was the Dutch who took possession in 1598, giving the island its present name in honour of their head of state, Prince Maurice of Nassau.

The island was a port of call for ships en-route to India and the East Indies, as well as a land base for pirates in the Indian Ocean. The Dutch introduced sugar cane which, in addition to tourism, remains a pillar of the Mauritian economy today, yet they deemed their colonisation efforts unsuccessful, and abandoned the island in 1710.

In 1715 the French took over, renaming it “Ile de France” and eventually importing labour from Africa to work on the sugar plantations. With this, a love for rhythmic music and dancing was introduced to Mauritius and the ‘sega’ was born, a performance that is still a national tradition.

In 1810, after a failed attempt earlier in the year, the British conquered the island. It was not until 1968, over one hundred and fifty years later, that the country acceded to Independence, becoming a Republic in 1992 and remaining a member of the Commonwealth.

Nearly five centuries after its discovery, this jewel in the Indian Ocean has evolved into a harmonious mosaic of cultures and religions and is home to just over 1.2 million inhabitants.
