[Mauritius] Five-Star Honeymoon Retreats Worth the Splurge

On the same budget, the property you pick is what separates an ordinary trip from an unforgettable one. This edition compares the 6 finest honeymoon stays in Mauritius for December 2026 — the highest-priced, best-reviewed five-star hotels, resorts and private villas, ranked on real Agoda guest data. Around 76% of the selected stays' reviews come from couples travelers in the review sample. By the data, the number-one pick is LUX* Le Morne (rating 9.1).

AT A GLANCE

Why Mauritius for a Honeymoon trip

Mauritius pairs romance with variety. Choose a villa with a private pool on the east coast or beneath Le Morne, then spend the days catamaran sailing to Île aux Cerfs, swimming with dolphins off the west coast and exploring the Seven Coloured Earth and Black River Gorges. Evenings are for beach dinners and Creole seafood, and sunsets are best seen from the west and southwest coasts.

Mauritius is a volcanic island in the Indian Ocean ringed by coral reefs, lagoons and white beaches, with mountains, sugarcane fields and rainforest inland. Its luxury resorts combine French, Indian and Creole influences in cuisine and hospitality, and the island offers more than beach time: championship golf, hiking, kitesurfing and a well-developed spa culture.

When to go: May to December brings cooler, drier weather, with September to November particularly pleasant. January to March is hot and humid with a risk of cyclones, while the east coast is breezier during the winter trade winds.

East Coast (Belle Mare)Long beaches, sheltered lagoons and proximity to Île aux Cerfs make it the hub for golf and large luxury resorts.
Le Morne PeninsulaIn the southwest, beneath the UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant mountain, it suits kitesurfers and travelers seeking dramatic scenery.
North Coast (Grand Baie)Calm waters, restaurants and nightlife make it ideal for those who want a livelier atmosphere and sunset views.
