You’ll marvel at Mauritius
WRITER Mark Twain once said: “You gather the idea that Mauritius was made first and then heaven was copied.” He’s not wrong.
Along its coastline, Mauritius boasts the white powder sand and blue waters that the Indian Ocean is famed for.
Inland, it is home to bright tropical flowers and a volcanic landscape.
Culturally, it is a mix of French, Indian, African and Chinese influences – with mouth-watering cuisine and fascinating temples.
This perfect concoction of beauty makes Mauritius prime territory for destination weddings and honeymooners.
Many luxury hotels on the island offer premium wedding packages that include the ceremony, flowers, cake, and legal documentation. Even better, it is easy to get married in Mauritius as you only need to have been on the island one day before tying the knot and it is legally recognised in the UK.
But the island also has a lot to offer families. Several of the luxury resorts are home to child and teen clubs, as well as family-friendly facilities like restaurants with children’s menus, and shallow swimming pools. Outside the resorts, you’ll find mountain biking opportunities, water sports and museums.
Another popular reason to visit Mauritius is to break up a long-haul flight to Australia or New Zealand. Mauritius offers the perfect opportunity to relax after an adventure Down Under.
British Airways, Air Mauritius and Thomson Airways all provide direct flights from London to Mauritius. And British nationals don’t need a visa.
