Anniversaries and celebrations

Special dates are more than entries on a calendar – they're yours. Enjoy a romantic anniversary just the two of you, or bring family and friends together to celebrate.

Every anniversary can be different. Sometimes it’s flowers, a lovely dinner or a celebration with family. Other times, you might prefer a weekend away or a long-dreamed-of trip. Forget expectations – what matters is how you want to celebrate together.

If you’re travelling for your anniversary, let the hotel know when booking. Tropical resorts often offer discounts or special perks, particularly for fifth anniversaries and subsequent five-year milestones. You may need to provide proof of your wedding date, such as a marriage certificate. Benefits might include a room upgrade or a celebratory dinner.

Mauritius with Children: Choosing a Resort for Your Wedding or Honeymoon

Planning a wedding or honeymoon in Mauritius with your children coming along? Then choosing your resort deserves a little more thought than it would for a holiday for two. The children want a beach, a pool, new friends and adventures. You want to enjoy your wedding, find a little romance and perhaps have some peace and quiet as well.

Travelling with a stroller

Flying with a stroller: will you get it back during a connection?

On many airlines, you can keep your stroller until you're about to board. **But handing it over at the gate doesn't guarantee you'll get it back when you change planes.** It may be sent straight to your final destination. That matters if you're travelling to a wedding abroad or taking your little one on your honeymoon. A long connection in Dubai, Doha or Istanbul can be tough with a tired child in your arms.
