Îlot Gabriel, Uninhabited island in Mauritius.
A small landmass measuring 0.422 square kilometers in the Indian Ocean features white sand beaches and encompasses clear waters teeming with marine life.
The island received its name during the colonial period when Mauritius was under French administration in the eighteenth century.
The surrounding waters contain multiple dive sites where visitors observe traditional fishing methods practiced by local Mauritian fishermen.
Visitors reach the island through organized boat excursions departing from Grand Baie, with trips typically lasting between six to eight hours.
The island's position along the Seychelles-Mauritius Plateau creates conditions for abundant coral formations and diverse fish populations.
