DREAMY DESTINATIONS

Indian Ocean honeymoons are the stuff of dreams, and it’s not difficult to see why. For pure escapism, it doesn’t get much better than the Maldives. Over 1,000 tiny islands scattered across the sparkling waters encapsulate the very essence of heaven on earth. Whether you seek a Robinson Crusoe desert island experience or prefer to start your new life together with adrenaline-fuelled water adventures and dine in a different restaurant every day of the week – there’s a Maldives resort that will tick all your honeymoon boxes and more!

Combine breath-taking beaches with exotic exploration on the fascinating island of Mauritius, a long-standing magnet for honeymooners or spectacularly diverse Sri Lanka. Luxury resorts line up against dramatic mountain backdrops, draped in stunning shades of green. Explore enchanting waterfalls, take a rum distillery tour, encounter some of the world’s most amazing wildlife or simply soak up the sun on your sun lounger, cocktail in hand. Looking for a honeymoon destination that’s a little more off the radar, consider La Reunion, a tiny fleck of an island but a treasure trove of undiscovered beauty.

When it comes to dreamlike scenery and some of the world’s most exquisite hotels, look no further than the Seychelles. Home to spell-binding beaches, tropical marine life and towering granite rocks. A honeymoon here is the perfect way to start married life in style!

WHEN TO GO

The best time to visit the Indian Ocean is dependent on which island you wish to travel to. Its subtropical climate means year-round warm, dry weather with almost-perfect beach conditions available in one of these destinations at all times.

The best time to visit the Maldives is between November and April when the weather is dry and a very pleasant 29°C to 31°C. October and December see the best weather in Mauritius, with temperatures at their hottest, reaching 29°C.

Sri Lanka is a year-round destination, with the east coast and the north at their best from May to September, after their monsoon season and we’d advise visiting the southwest coast before their monsoon season, between December and April.

And if the Seychelles is your honeymoon destination of choice, we’d advise going in April and May, or October and November.

EXTEND THE MAGIC

A honeymoon spent in just one of these locations is pure magic, so imagine combining two or more destinations to create an incredible itinerary all of your own. Whether it’s as simple as splitting your time between an over-water bungalow and a beach villa, exploring La Reunion before a luxurious stay in Mauritius or combining these beautiful beach destinations with the city of love, Paris – or the city of gold, Dubai! Your personal travel consultant can create the honeymoon your heart desires.

THE MOST ROMANTIC HOTELS

Whether you prefer the privacy of a water villa, the exclusivity of a boutique retreat or the opulence of a sprawling, luxury resort, the Indian Ocean offers some of the finest accommodation in the world. We can work with many hotels to enhance your stay with magical touches such as sunset cruises, champagne breakfasts and couples massages to create an unforgettably romantic escape you’ll talk about forever! This incredible level of choice can be daunting but talk to us and we can help you pick out your personal patch of paradise. With so many stand-out properties it’s not easy to pick favourites, but here are a few popular choices to provide some inspiration…

BAROS MALDIVES, Maldives ★★★★★

Circled in a ten-minute stroll, this stunning, world-class island is where style meets simplicity.

With its dazzling sands and coral lagoon, Baros is possibly the most picture-perfect of all of the Maldives islands. An intimate resort providing a complete luxury escape, its timeless, elegant facilities include the architecturally spectacular The Lighthouse restaurant with its tented white roof, and the exclusive Piano Deck offering yoga, massages or dinner on a deck isolated in the middle of a sparkling lagoon.

JOALI, Maldives ★★★★★

Quite possibly, one of the most sensuous resorts you could hope to stay at. The uber-cool yet gloriously cocooning Joali Maldives takes everything to the next level. Exemplary service, oversized accommodation, interactive art and inventory cuisine are just a taste of the ingenious concept realised at this breath-taking resort.

VERANDA PAUL ET VIRGINIE HOTEL & SPA, Mauritius ★★★★

Named after one of the most famous couples in French literature, this charming and intimate hotel just oozes romance. We love this adult-only retreat's dedication to creating “us” moments. De-stress with a couples massage, re-connect on the secluded cove-style beach or spend the afternoon on the hotel's catamaran, exclusively available to Veranda guests.

Nestled in amongst fragrant gardens filled with bougainvillaea and hibiscus, LUX* Saint Gilles combines beachfront luxury with elegant colonial design and Creole influences. This is the only resort on the island with direct access to the stunningly beautiful L’Hermitage beach, home to a serene coral-sheltered lagoon perfect for swimming. In keeping with the brand's reputation for creating unique and special moments, you’ll find quirky features here such as a retro ice cream hut, beach cinema evenings and maybe even the odd message in a bottle left outside of your room!

An oasis of laidback luxury nestled amongst lush greenery; Raffles Seychelles is pure perfection for the paradise seeker. 86 individual villas provide peace and privacy with outdoor terraces, pools and breath-taking views of the shimmering Indian Ocean. Recognised by Conde Nast Traveller as one of the “Best New Hotels in the World”, Raffles Seychelles has some serious wow factor.

SIX SENSES ZIL PASYON, Seychelles ★★★★★

Located on the unspoilt private granite island of Félicité, this boutique sanctuary of just 30 gorgeous villas occupies just one-third of the 652-acre natural island. Reached via a 20-minute helicopter flight from Mahé or a short boat ride from Praslin, it is a remote hideaway nestled between towering granite boulders and idyllic white-sand beaches, perfect for those looking for that iconic Six Senses experience within one of the most stunning locations.
