Mauritius Honeymoons

This multicultural island nation in the Indian ocean, just off the southeast coast of the African continent, is an absolute dream for newlyweds who make the journey on a Mauritius honeymoon. Once a sugar producing colony, there is a blend of African, Indian and European cultures making up the unique identity of this tropical island. French is mainly used although most speak English as well. Surrounded by beautiful sandy beaches and sheltered lagoons, it is also covered in jaw dropping volcanic mountain ranges. Couples who enjoy working up a sweat on a hike before hitting the beach bar for sunset cocktails will surely be delighted. Water sport enthusiasts will find their heart with anything from surfing the west coast to scuba diving one of the world’s longest unbroken coral reefs. Foodies can enjoy some of the many fine restaurants featuring classic Mauritian dishes as well as international inspired menus.
