Mauritius has long been the stuff of honeymoon dreams. Palm-fringed beaches of powder-white sands line the coast, whilst verdant mountains rise up at the island's heart. Honeymooners will find dazzling resorts facing the Indian Ocean on all sides of the island, many with fabulous gourmet cuisine, restorative spas and superb service.
Opportunities for watersports abound, with sailing, wind surfing, kite surfing, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and more. A vibrant underwater world also awaits keen snorkellers and divers, and boat trips to nearby islets come highly recommended. For an off-the-beaten-track experience, take a short flight to Rodrigues. A lush little island to the east of Mauritius, it's a brilliant destination for seaside honeymoons with a more remote feel.
Mauritius' green, mountainous interior is also well worth exploring. Hike and cycle through the Black River Gorges National Park, spot rare birds flitting overhead, or clamber up Le Morne, a site of deep cultural significance. Visits to bustling Port Louis and to the heritage houses which reflect the island's sugar-growing past, offer a far fuller insight into the character of Mauritius. Read on for an insight into our pick of the best honeymoon hotels in Mauritius!
