Why Mauritius?
Most visitors to Mauritius stay at one of the island’s magnificent resorts. The capital, Port Louis, is the main tourist hub of the island, but there are hundreds of excellent beach resorts to choose from. The best of these, The Royal Palm Hotel, has been hailed by Forbes as one of the best beach resorts in the world. Most of the resorts sport luxury amenities such as golf courses, spas and watersports like diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, sailing or fishing. A honeymoon in Mauritius will be breathtaking.

About the climate:
Honeymoon in Mauritius is one of the few places in the world where it is sunny and beautiful all year around, meaning no matter when you decide to celebrate your honeymoon, you can guarantee the weather is never going to let you down.
January – April & December: Mauritius is a great choice of honeymoon destination for couples who want a relaxing beach holiday, and temperatures are consistently high throughout the year. However, it might be worth taking into account the average rainfall. During January, February, March, April and December, it typically rains a lot more. If you don’t want to risk the rain, check out the months of May, June, July, August, September, October and November.
May – November: Temperatures are consistently high in Mauritius, yet the amount of rain throughout the year changes dramatically. For hot weather with less chance of rain, we recommend visiting during the months of May, June, July, August, September, October or November. During these months temperatures can often reach around 28 degrees celsius.
About the culture:
Mauritius has been both a French and British colony (gaining its independence in 1968), so combined with its Indian and African roots creates a fascinating melting point of different cultures and languages. Much of the inland farms are sugar cane plantations, while near the shores, fishing and tourism are the main drivers of the economy.
What we love:
Being only 28 miles long and 40 miles wide, as well as being almost entirely surrounded by coral reefs, means that you can really have the peace and tranquility you deserve on your honeymoon.
