Things to do on your Mauritius honeymoon
Regardless of where you choose to stay, the beaches on Mauritius are second to none. You can expect powdery white sands, swaying palm trees, and calm, inviting lagoons. What better place to unwind after the excitement (and stresses) of your big day?
For couples who like to stay active, a Mauritius honeymoon will provide plenty of scope for activities and exploration. Many Mauritius resorts offer water sports such as snorkelling, diving and glass-bottomed boat trips – all great ways to seek out some of the coral reefs and Indian Ocean sea life.
The small island’s lush interior is criss-crossed with easy-to-follow hiking trails that pass through verdant forest and past scenic waterfalls. In the hilly southwest of the island is Black River Gorges National Park, the best place to spot wildlife and exotic birds.
To fully relax and recharge, you can take refuge in your resort’s spa. Here you can indulge in some restorative treatments and enjoy the wellness facilities on offer. Many Mauritius resorts have a strong focus on gastronomy. So, come the evening, you can start with a cocktail on your private terrace overlooking the ocean, then take your pick from your resort’s top-notch dining options. Many resorts can arrange special private dining experiences, such as a secluded candlelit dinner in your suite or on the shoreline.
