Mauritius Honeymoons

Mauritius is made for honeymoons. Not because of one perfect beach (though there are plenty of those), but because the whole island seems to understand what a honeymoon is for: time together, without the noise.

Why Mauritius

Start with the obvious. The beaches are the real thing, soft white sand and lagoons calm enough to swim in without a second thought. The hotels know how to do romance too, with private dinners on the beach, spa treatments for two, and rooms designed for exactly this occasion. But a week of sun loungers isn't for everyone, and Mauritius doesn't ask you to choose. Spend one day doing absolutely nothing and the next exploring waterfalls, hiking through Black River Gorges, or sailing out to the Ile aux Cerfs. Try a catamaran trip along the coast, or a round at one of the island's championship golf courses if that's more your idea of a good morning.

Then there's the island itself. Mauritius is a genuine mix of Indian, African, French, and Chinese cultures, and it shows in the warmth of the welcome and the food. Expect fresh seafood, gourmet curries, French technique, and street food stalls worth planning a meal around. Locals are proud of their island and happy to share it, which tends to make a honeymoon feel less like a holiday and more like an introduction to somewhere special.

Perks for honeymooners

Book the right hotel and Mauritius will treat you well for it. Most properties offer honeymoon extras as standard: a saving on your room rate, a bottle of something cold on arrival, or a room upgrade if one's available. Many go further with a private beach dinner, a couples' spa session, or a guided excursion thrown in.
