Mauritius Honeymoons
Mauritius excels in terms of hospitality and luxury holiday style. It tends towards private, suave glamour of the five star hotels, rather than Robinson Crusoe style 'barefoot luxury'. Private villas, plunge pools, spas galore and wide, sweeping white sand beaches all with a wide choice of dining options, this is Mauritius honeymoon style.
Mauritius is the land of exquisite spas and sommeliers, of pampering and fusion cultures. It is a country where hospitality is highly valued as a cultural heritage and the competition among the high-starred hotels raises the barrier within these ratings. With a glorious natural landscape and reef-protected coastline, there is a good choice of accommodation from which to lap up the location.
Because Mauritius is malaria-free it is a popular location with families and as a result even the most honeymoon friendly hotels are large and usually have lots of kids running around 
The East Coast beaches are fabulous. Backed by pine trees and then mile upon mile of sugar cane to the mountains, this is a truly beautiful aspect, although can get pretty windy during July and August.
Mauritius' west coast has some great beaches and accommodation; always a winner combination. This is the place to stay if you would like to find resident dolphin pods, and there are plenty of water sports and activities available.
The Northern beaches of Mauritius form a popular, busy hub of shopping and nightlife around a hip central harbour. The Royal Palm, one of the oldest and finest of the Mauritius hotels, is the only place to stay here. 
The southern coast of Mauritius is generally cooler than the rest of the island, and tends to get a little more rain. This was once mainly a sugar plantation region, but now there are some good hotels and golf options.
A few of Mauritius' finest...
The jewel in hotel Constance's crown, Prince Maurice is one of the smaller of the hotels on the island. Superb rooms with either a beach or lagoon view and a lovely huge pool. One drawback is that the beach is not as good as others on the East Coast.
A superb hotel, recently rennovated. Rooms are slightly tired and there is only one pool, though food and service are superb. Touessrok also has access to its own private island which is incredible. 
The newly opened Oberoi is an amazing hotel. The seperate suite rooms are staggering, especially those with private pools. Huge grounds, and the rooms and areas have a wonderfully oriental feel. The beach is lovely despite being too small.
