Why Honeymooners Choose Mauritius

Mauritius, known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean, is one of the world’s top luxury tourism destinations, popular amongst honeymooners looking for a beautiful and romantic getaway. It is a fascinating island made up of a blend of cultural harmonies, which include European, African, and Asian influences. This cultural diversity is apparent within the Island’s different customs, languages, and religions, which have been conserved in the form of a cornucopia of colorful festivals throughout the year.

Due to its one of a kind landscape and age the country is also home to a collection of the world’s rarest animals and plants, unfound anywhere else on Earth. As the country was left undiscovered for more than hundreds of years, this allowed the evolution of a number of unique and different species, an astonishing biological dream for those lovers of all things nature.

Mauritius is the perfect escape from a routine bustling life where you can unwind and reflect on your big day as a newlywed couple on its faultless white sandy beaches, lapped by sapphire waters which conceal a spectacular underwater world of coral reefs and mysterious creatures of the sea. Nature has been beautifully preserved in this postcard like Island. You can choose to immerse yourself in the stunningly relaxing cascades of the Tamarind Falls, or bathe in the depths of the sacred lake of Ganga Talao, surrounded by the natural beauty of an extinct volcano.

And not to be worried about the weather! Situated near the tropic of Capricorn, Mauritius boasts a constant tropical climate. Mauritius is rainiest from December to May, its cool dry winters which brag a climate of around 20.4°, and is hot and dry for the rest of the year, its summers with a mean temperature of around 24.7°. So it doesn’t matter on what season you decide to visit, you can lay on the beach all year as the temperature difference between the seasons is only 4.3°!

However, it is understandable that not all people are beach people and this dazzling heaven of an island isn’t just all beaches and sunsets, although those are gorgeous and unforgettable sites, there are also a lot of other activities to see and do during a Mauritius honeymoon. Walk through the island and one will discover the wonder that is the Creole culture: browse through rows and rows of fragrant stalls selling exotic spices and tea leaves in Port Louis, catch some marlin and shark during a deep-sea fishing expedition to eat under the stars with your loved one, or if you’re more of a thrill seeker, then you and your partner can hop onto a quad bike for that adrenalin rush you’re looking for.

Whichever activities a couple is interested in, there is plenty to choose from on the Island of Mauritius, whilst being surrounded by the swishing sea and clear sunny skies, it is no wonder why so many people choose to go to Mauritius on their honeymoons.
