The beautiful island of Mauritius, with its gorgeous sandy beaches, lush landscapes and romantic waterfalls, is a dream spot for honeymooners. We visited the Indian Ocean destination and visited some of the nation’s finest hotels. Here’s our top pick of the resorts for loved-up newlyweds…
4.5* Preskil Island Resort
This secluded resort is perfect for couples who want to get away from it all for a relaxing honeymoon. Located on its own private peninsula, you’ll feel worlds away from work and wedmin! Torchlit dinners on the beach are a romantic highlight and we were impressed with the property’s fabulous spa. Opt for a Junior Suite for the dreamy four-poster bed and breathtaking views of beautiful islands and the famous Lion Mountain.
4.5* C Mauritius
This boutique hotel has a rustic-chic style and was one of our favourite resorts on the island. With a more laid-back, informal atmosphere than some properties, the hotel sits on a lovely stretch of golden sands and locally crafted, natural materials form the core of the aesthetic. Rooms are bright and airy, with colour schemes that bring the ocean in. Choose a room with glass doors opening out onto your own terrace for perfect honeymoon moments.
5* Oberoi Beach Resort
If you want to be completely pampered on your honeymoon, then this is the choice for you. At this elegant five-star resort every guest need is anticipated and catered for. The huge king-size beds are to die for, and the beautiful bathrooms complete with a bath and double shower are what honeymoon dreams are made of. Dotted with sculptures and water features, the hotel grounds are imbued with a wonderful sense of serenity and enriching experiences such as stargazing, wine-tasting and guided nature walks will add that extra special something to your holiday.
3.5* Récif Attitude
Many couples are on a tight budget when it comes to honeymoon, and if that’s the case there’s no need to rule Mauritius out. This simple adults-only resort set on a small sandy beach is a fantastic value option for honeymooners. Splash out on a beachfront room for superb views of the lagoon and enjoy fresh seafood cooked on the beach or local Mauritian specialities served at restaurant Kot Nou. With a friendly and inclusive atmosphere, Récif Attitude would be ideal for more sociable couples.
Adventurous couples would love combining their Mauritius honeymoon with a trip to the incredible volcanic island of La Reunion. Find out what our honeymoon expert Danielle discovered in her time there!
