Weddings in Mauritius

welcomes many wedding couples in its own special way.

The bed is adorned with tropical flowers and the washbasin swims with colourful petals. A bowl of fruit awaits the newly-married couple in their bedroom after the ceremony, together, of course, with a bottle of sparkling wine. There are also gifts of a pareo for the new wife and a T-shirt for the husband.  What can be more romantic than a wedding in the warmth and colour of the tropics and where more appropriate than Mauritius.  We represent all of the resorts and hotels on the entire island so please enquire about your favourite one and our wedding co ordinator will ensure that you receive a full wedding option.

Long known as a preferred destination for royalty and the glitterati, magnificent Mauritius is a stunning option for your WEDDING DAY. As tropical paradises rate, let's just say that Mauritius is 'up there'! In short, it has everything: warm, clear, turquoise sea lapping palm-fringed, white sand beaches ; eye-popping tropical scenery; a wonderful climate , fascinating history and rich culture; great nightlife , dining and shopping . we could go on, but you should be getting the gist!

The beauty of the island truly is overwhelming. Those who love nature will be absolutely astonished by the majesty of the mountains, nature reserves and wildlife parks of Mauritius - a destination that also boasts genuinely tangible peace and tranquility . There are few better locations that could be chosen for your special day in paradise!   Even the names of places and attractions in Mauritius ooze romance : Triolet Shivala - a grand 19th Century Hindu temple; the Labourdonnais Orchards - a gorgeous expanse of fragrant, tropical fruit trees; Chamarel - an incredible landscape of naturally occurring, multi-coloured earth; Black River Gorges - a beautiful national park of lush forests and dazzling wildlife. And this is just the beginning.

Set in the vast Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, Mauritius is just 45km wide and 65km long, enjoying a tropical climate of two distinct seasons - summer and winter. We say 'winter' (May - October), but even then the average daily temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius! The hot summer months (November - April) claim temperatures of up to 35 degrees Celsius on the coasts, so Mauritius is a year-round destination with virtually guaranteed sunshine.
