The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972. Mauritius accepted the convention on September 19, 1995, making its sites eligible for inclusion on the list.
As of 2024, Mauritius has two World Heritage Sites. Aapravasi Ghat was inscribed on the list at the 30th Session of the World Heritage Committee, held in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 2006. Le Morne Brabant was added to the list in 2008. Further minor modification of boundaries of this site took place in 2011. Both sites are listed as cultural sites, as determined by the organization's selection criteria.
As of 2024, Mauritius also has one site on the tentative list, listed in 2006.
All World Heritage Sites in Mauritius are located on the island of Mauritius. Outer islands of the country do not feature any sites on the World Heritage list or on the tentative list. The country has served on the World Heritage Committee once.
List of sites
UNESCO lists sites under ten criteria; each entry must meet at least one of the criteria. Criteria i through vi are cultural, and vii through x are natural.
Tentative list
In addition to the sites inscribed on the World Heritage list, member states can maintain a list of tentative sites that they may consider for nomination. Nominations for the World Heritage list are only accepted if the site has previously been listed on the tentative list. As of 2024, Mauritius had one such site on its tentative list, added in 2006.
