The RomanceFor the third consecutive year Mauritius has been prized best honeymoon destination award at the World Travel Awards 2014.

The GolfThere are eight 18-hole Championship golf courses and three 9-hole courses dotted around the island, all offering world-class courses to play on.
BeachesMauritius may be small but each of its coasts has its own personality. The west is the calmest, with little of Mauritius’s famous wind. Venture south for hidden, rocky coves or east if windsurfing is your thing. All beaches are public so you can easily hop from one inviting stretch to the next. Blue Bay is a protected marine park with first-rate snorkelling; Trou aux Biches is picture-postcard perfect; Mont Choisy in the north is a long, curving bay backed with casuarina trees; while lively Flic-en-Flac, with its beachfront bars, is a great spot for sundowners. There isn’t a bad beach on the island.
Swim with dolphinsSwimming with dolphins is an incredibly moving experience.
Playful dolphins can be found just off the West Coast of Mauritius.
They can often be seen in the morning and in the late afternoon.
The SceneryMauritius hits all the marks as a tropical paradise with coral reefs (the world’s third largest), white sand beaches, dramatic green mountain scenery, sugar plantations and extinct volcanoes. The south of the island is often acclaimed as the ‘authentic’ Mauritius as it is more rural and wild.
