We’ve still got our eyes on Africa, and this time our sights are set on Mauritius. This tiny island off the eastern coast of the continent, is nearly 600 miles near Madagascar. Surrounded by tranquil, turquoise waters and white, sandy beaches, Mauritius is a prime location to experience extreme luxury and seclusion, especially for those traveling from the U.K.

For that reason, this small piece of paradise is increasingly becoming a top destination for those in the search of luxury holidays and honeymoons. The island is home to numerous five-star resorts, which offer a wide range of amenities such as luxury villas, first-class golf resorts, private tours and more.

Le Saint Geran Mauritius is considered to be the “Great Dame” resort of the island, with its own private peninsula right on the edge of the Indian Ocean.

Another hot resort is the the Le Touessrok. Le Touessrok Mauritius is considered to be the epitome of chic sophistication on the island. The resort even has butlers that can cater to (most) your every need…and even remember such details as how you like your coffee in the morning and your cocktails in the evening. Talk about service!

If you’re scoping out unique locales for a luxurious honeymoon or romantic vacation, look into Mauritius. This is definitely a place were splurging is a requirement…not an option. So, plan early and budget wisely, and you and your sweetie will be getting the star treatment in this African playground in no time.
