Honeymoon in Mauritius — FAQ
The Maldives is maximum privacy and overwater villas; Mauritius gives you more to do beyond the hotel (mountains, waterfalls, sightseeing) and often costs less.
The southern-hemisphere summer (December–February) is hot and humid. For a warm, romantic but not scorching trip, September–November is best.
