The islands of the Indian Ocean proves to be a charming choice for a honeymoon where relaxation and romance are complemented by a backdrop of swaying palms, white-washed beaches and crystal clear water. The lush, volcanic island of Mauritius offers all this and more; whilst the boutique resort of Angsana Balaclava Mauritius is designed for couples to escape, switch-off and surrender to nature.

Mauritius has become popular in recent years for honeymooners, offering the epitome of a paradise-holiday far from ‘charter’ masses.  With a climate of 24-32 degrees year round and Angsana Balaclava Mauritius positioned in the sheltered northwest of the island, the resort is a perfect honeymoon spot in summer and winter.

In its exclusive location on Turtle Bay, many of the resort’s suites come with a private plunge pool and stunning views over the ocean.  Here couples can completely relax without being disturbed by other guests. There are also rich opportunities for pampering at the award-winning Angsana Spa Balaclava, renowned for its locally-inspired treatments and hydrotherapy facilities.  If a larger pool is required, the resort has a seawater swimming pool for guests to enjoy, and there is the much larger crystal clear ‘pool’ of the Indian Ocean just a few steps away.

Food lovers can challenge themselves during one of the resort’s fun, interactive cooking classes, where couples can take their honeymoon memories home to their own kitchen.  A cooking experience usually starts at the local market, shopping with one of the chef’s for ingredients for an authentic Creole menu, subsequently prepared under the guidance of the chef’s team.

Private dining experiences are a speciality and the resort team can arrange a romantic dinner with front row seats to the best sunset on the island; a table for two awaits the couple, surrounded by candlelight as the moon and stars appear above.   After dinner, upon returning to their suite, a special surprise of rose petals, an aromatic bubble bath, candles and bottle of champagne await.

Mauritius is celebrated for its white sand beaches and being surrounded by a large coral reef, the water is generally calm and filled with vibrant marine life, perfect for exploring during a diving or snorkeling session.  Back on land, the island is home to spectacular natural wonders, mountains, lakes, lush forests and waterfalls, all ready to be discovered.
