Marvellous Mauritius – 10th Wedding Anniversary Bliss

Imagine this… In the distance, the sun plays off clear, crystallized sparkling water.

Reflecting a thousand shades of blue. The warmth envelopes you like the embrace of old friend. A soft, almost musical the lapping waves l ulls and soothes your soul. And those gentle waves touch the hem of the bleach-white sand. Kissing, they roll back out again. Then, the chirps and squirks of the native Bull-Bull birds fill the air.

You close your eyes. The sound conjures the image of an Amazonian rainforest. It halts to a deafening silence. You open your eyes again… Looking out from your swim-up room for 2, you’re surrounded by swathes of tall, swaying palm trees.

All of them brimming with coconuts. A tropical backdrop telling you you’re a million miles from life’s worries. You’ve seen places this before. In travel magazines or on Social Media. Yet here you are. Picture perfect paradise – in the flesh. Magical Mauritius.

This describes our own experience. But oh – it was so much more! Grab a cuppa. Let me tell you about our 10th wedding anniversary bliss. Celebrating 10 Years Married in Marvellous Mauritius…

The Trip and the Unexpected Tropical Greeting!

We flew with Emirates and with them, there’s always plenty of on-flight entertainment to keep you occupied. And even the economy seats on Emirates flights are pretty comfy and spacious.

As soon as we landed, Colin and I were instantly struck by the stunning scenery. It was like a cultural shock cocktail. We couldn’t tell whether we were in the Caribbean, Africa, or Asia! It was tropical, but with added flavour. All we knew was that we loved it.

On to the Resort ... an island within an island

We were staying at the splendid Victoria Beachcomber in the North of the island. Our exclusive swim-up room was in the heart of the resort’s adults only section, Victoria for 2. This part of the hotel caters for holiday weddings, honeymooners, and people like us who are already way into marriage. It was the perfect place for Colin and I to get away and re-connect. To relax and do a bit of digital detoxing. And to get caught up in each other’s company, not the worries of work!

Swim-Up Cocktails and a Delicious French & Indian Food Fusion

Our package was all-inclusive with premium drinks. The best thing? I could lounge by the pool connected to our room and use it to swim to the bar. Swim-up cocktails? Yes please. The food was everything we dreamed it would be. A delicious fusion of French and Indian inspired dishes. As well as mouth-watering Mauritian seafood. There’s plenty of tasty options for carnivores and veggies alike!

You Have to Experience Mauritian Hospitality!

Now to the thing that stood out the most. The hospitality and the friendliness of the hotel staff. Mauritius is the home of hospitality. Mauritian people will do anything to make you feel welcome on their island. And the Beachcomber Victoria staff went above and beyond to make sure our private anniversary beach dinner was special. Thank you, Rakesh!

Dolphin Spotting, Snorkelling with Turtles, and a stunning Underwater Waterfall

People, often go to Mauritius to sit by a beach and soak up the sun. But you’d be fooled to think there’s nothing else to do. The waters surrounding Mauritius are full of diverse life. So, Colin and I thought we’d have a look.

Our first adventure took us on a private boat ride, just a few metres way from dolphins.

Then, we strapped on the snorkels, dived in, and swam with spectacularly coloured Sea Turtles. They were both breath-taking experiences.

However, the absolute must-see in Mauritius is the incredible underwater waterfall. Now, it’s not an actual waterfall that’s underwater. It’s an illusion caused by sea and fresh-water colliding. But when you fly over it in a helicopter, it looks like there’s a waterfall underwater. So, that’s what we did. It‘s an extra cost, this was worth every single penny. As the water folded in on itself, we held our breath. It was enchanting and utterly magical. The small boats on top of the water looked like they were floating in mid air!

Should you go to Mauritius?

Yes, Absolutely. If you’re not already convinced by everything above. Mauritius is idyllic. Its pristine beaches, stunning scenery, and year-round mild tropical climate make It the perfect place for a relaxing break at any time of the year. It’s a popular destination for weddings, honeymooners, couples, and families for a reason. And as you’ve just found out, it’s not so bad if you’re looking for adventure either. Mauritius is the haven away from home that you’ve been looking for!

The island also offers a complete range of unique advantages to visitors from all over the world, including …

• Modern tourism and hospitality-related infrastructure. Including the premier international airport in the region.

• Regularly serviced by international airlines such as Air Mauritius, Emirates, British Airways, Air France and Corsair to major cities in Europe, Africa and Asia.
