It boasts a subtropical climate, which basically means winter is warm and dry and summer is hot and humid.Surrounded by coral reefs, the island is famed for its cobalt-blue seas, whitewashed sandy beaches and a melting pot of cultures and colours. There truly is something for everyone, evidenced by its culinary delights that blend Indian, Chinese, French and African gastronomy all together.
