Mauritius Honeymoon Packages – Your Perfect Romantic Island Getaway

If you’re looking at Mauritius honeymoon packages, this Indian Ocean island offers a rare mix of romance, relaxation, and easy travel. With white sand beaches, calm lagoon waters, luxury resorts, and regular specials for South African couples, it’s a destination that quietly ticks all the right boxes.

What’s included in a Mauritius honeymoon package for South Africans

When you’re choosing a “Mauritius honeymoon package”, you’re looking for more than just a hotel stay. A good full-service package should cover:

  • Flights from South Africa (often Johannesburg) to Mauritius, with return airport taxes inclusive.
  • Transfers from Mauritius airport to your resort, included rather than separate taxi quotes.
  • Accommodation for you and your partner, ideally in a room or suite with honeymoon extras (e.g. rose petals, champagne, turn-down service).
  • Meals: Packages range from Half Board to Full Board or All-Inclusive, it’s worth comparing to see which best suits your travel style and budget.
  • Activities: Look for romantic extras like couple’s spa treatments, sunset cruises, dinners on the beach, snorkelling trips etc.
  • Support: Local contact or on-island assistance is a helpful touch for smooth arrival and stay.

By understanding exactly what is included (and what isn’t) you’ll avoid surprises.

Best time to go for a honeymoon in Mauritius (weather, seasons, deals)

Timing your trip matters. For honeymooners from South Africa we recommend:

  • May to October is the dry, mild season with sunny days. It’s perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities (and the most affordable time to travel to Mauritius from South Africa)
  • April and November are warm, less crowded shoulder months that often bring excellent value
  • January to March is hotter and more humid with a chance of tropical rain

Many resorts provide special honeymoon discounts and delightful Value Adds – from a romantic dinner by the beach to a special turn-down service, or even a complimentary couple’s spa treatment.


These benefits are generally available to couples travelling within 12 months of their wedding date – so there’s no rush! If your budget is feeling a bit stretched after the big day, consider postponing your trip to a more affordable travel period. You’ll still enjoy all the honeymoon perks and savings. After all, as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.


HOWEVER, booking early helps you secure the best resorts and honeymoon extras.

Budgeting your honeymoon: realistic cost breakdown for South African couples

Here’s a simple guide:

  • Mid-budget stay (4★) for 2 people, 5 nights: Flights (SA ↔ Mauritius) + transfers + half-board + one romantic excursion → approximate cost might sit in the range R 40 000-R 60 000 depending on season and resort.
  • Luxury stay (5★) for 2 people, 7 nights: Flights (SA ↔ Mauritius) + transfers + all-inclusive + premium suite + multiple excursions → could run R 90 000-R 150 000+.

Must-do honeymoon experiences in Mauritius

Make your honeymoon more than just room & beach time. Here are ideas:

  • A couples spa treatment by the sea.
  • A sunset catamaran cruise with drinks and snacks.
  • A trip to an island like Île aux Cerfs for snorkelling or a picnic.
  • Romantic dinner on the beach, under the stars.
  • Nature outing: hike in the Black River Gorges National Park or visit the seven-coloured earth in Chamarel.

These break the “just resort” routine and build lasting memories.

How to pick the right Mauritius honeymoon package: check-list for South African couples

✔ Confirm flights are included (SA ↔ Mauritius) and double-check the departure and arrival times. You might not want a super-early honeymoon departure right after your wedding day/night!

✔ Check if airline pre-seating is chargeable (you do want to sit together on the flight!)

✔ Ensure transfers airport ↔ resort are included both ways

✔ Check resort category and room type also if you have any preferences e.g. ground vs top floor, sea-facing vs beachfront etc.

✔ Clarify meals: breakfast vs half-board vs all-inclusive

✔ Check the honeymoon extras (e.g. room decoration, couple’s spa voucher, romantic dinner)

✔ Check cancellation/flexibility (important given global travel uncertainty) & get travel insurance quote(s)

✔ Ask about off-peak deals if you’re flexible with dates

✔ There are more hotels to choose from on our Mauritius packages page if you’d like to explore other options.

✔ You can also see when to book a Mauritius holiday for the best price based on the time of year.

✔ And if you want real-time pricing, the LIVE Beachcomber Quotes tool shows side-by-side resort comparisons.

✔ Ask about the required deposit, this usually covers your airfare and a small portion of the land arrangements. The remaining balance is typically due closer to your departure date, giving you extra time to save. Keep in mind that package prices may fluctuate until fully paid, as some are subject to exchange rate changes (be sure to ask for details).
