Mauritius: A Jewel of the Indian Ocean
If you take a look on the map, you will notice that the actual Isle of Mauritius is a very small and easily unnoticeable one. And yet, there is so much beauty hidden on its surface! The Republic of Mauritius includes this isle, as well as Rodrigues, the archipelago of Saint Brandon and the islands of Agalega.
The history behind these isles is a very tumultuous one and you will see traces of all the people who inhabited the islands in their culture and customs. Apparently, the first ones to come here were the Arabs, during the Middle Ages. Following them, the Portuguese came as well, but they did not stay long because they were not interested in these islands. The Dutch set foot here in 1638 and they were the ones to name the island as well (after Prince Mauritius of Nassau). In 1710, the Dutch left the island and, soon enough, the French claimed it for themselves (and re-named it Isle de France). During the Napoleonic Wars, the British took the island themselves and offered people here their independence in 1968, including it under the Commonwealth Realm.

With such a history, it is only natural that the people here are multicultural, multi-ethnic and, in most of the cases, multilingual as well. There are Indo Mauritians here, Creole Mauritians, Franco Mauritians and some other ethnicities as well. And most of them speak English, French and South and East Asian languages as well.
Why a Honeymoon Here?
This is a perfect spot for a honeymoon, and not just for one reason. The breath taking scenery, the perfect service, the possibility to go on a romantic sunset cruise, the option of attending luxury spa treatments together with your significant other and simply the fact that you will be surrounded by Mother Nature’s crème de la crème – all these things make Mauritius absolutely perfect for any newlywed couple.
