Agaléga Islands Postal Codes: A1101 to A2101

Key Facts

The Agaléga Islands are a dependency of Mauritius, consisting of two main islands located approximately 1,100 kilometers north of the main island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. These remote coral islands, North Island and South Island, are connected by a narrow sandbank and bridge, forming an archipelago with a total land area of about 24 square kilometers. Administratively, the Agaléga Islands function as an outer island territory under Mauritian sovereignty, with a small permanent population of around 300 people primarily engaged in coconut cultivation and fishing. The islands are divided into two main settlements: Vingt-Cinq on North Island and La Fourche on South Island, with the local economy historically centered around coconut plantations established during the colonial era. Geographically, the islands feature lush vegetation, white sandy beaches, and are surrounded by extensive coral reefs, making them ecologically significant despite their small size. The Agaléga Islands play a strategic role in Mauritius's maritime territory and have recently gained increased attention due to infrastructure development projects.
