Home / Destination / Mauritius Mauritius Mascarene Islands · Indian Ocean Mauritius feels tailor-made for couples. Simple wedding formalities, special hotel benefits for newlyweds and anniversaries, and a comfortable journey – pure paradise. Mauritius is an island in the Indian Ocean where tropical beauty meets comfort. Its stunning beaches and lagoons are complemented by lush inland landscapes, mountains and plenty to discover beyond the hotel gates. With excellent hotels and resorts catering to couples, it’s a place where you can simply switch off or venture further afield. Some come for peace and privacy, while others prefer excursions, diving or days that combine relaxing on the beach with activities they can enjoy together.

And because there’s always more worth knowing than what a beach looks like in a photograph, our articles explore different parts of the island, practical details and the experiences of other couples who have spent time in Mauritius.
