If you’re searching for the perfect location to spend your honeymoon, I would strongly recommend Mauritius. Having just got back home, I can honestly say that it was a brilliant decision , and one that we definitely wouldn’t have made without it being recommended to us by friends .

Picking a destination is hard , and I was going to leave it to my wife, as my only specification was that it be hot . But after hearing that she wished to go to Mauritius, I must admit that I was slightly apprehensive –  purely for the reason that I knew very little about Mauritius, and had presumed that we would be going somewhere in the Caribbean.

Anyway, after some deliberation (on my part) we made the decision to book our honeymoon in Mauritius. We discovered an internet travel agent and managed to find an all inclusive Mauritius holiday for a very affordable price. The only snag was that we were not sure what the hotel was going to be like (because it was a new build ) but once we’d arrived any anxieties we had quickly vanished – the hotel was magnificent !

Mauritius holidays are becoming more and more popular; this is most likely to do with the price as much as anything – it is much less expensive than it once was . But the price – in terms of what you get for your money – is extremely cheap . The climate is beautiful , the wildlife is exotic , the people are welcoming , and the service and accommodation cannot be beaten .

During the honeymoon I was happy to relax by the beach the whole honeymoon, but my wife being my wife decided that she must see the sights , and experience some of the culture – which, at first, I thought was code words for shoes and shopping ! So she dragged me along with her on the promise that I could eat as much ice cream as my body could physically handle . Half expecting my credit card to be kidnapped and abused , I made sure that we stopped and looked at anything that looked as if it may have a bit of history or culture attached to it … I probably took this too far when I tried ( and failed) to pass off the public toilets as a magnificent work of architecture ! Anyway, I can honestly say that I’m glad my wife did drag me along because Mauritius is a stunning country with a diverse culture… and they speak English! – Although the papers and news are all in French! Mauritius has an abundance of dramatic forests and mountains , breathtaking coral reefs and beaches , and is home to one of the most famous surfing spots – Tamann Bay. It was also home to the now famous but unfortunately extinct dodo bird . The cuisine is a mixture of all the various cultures, so there is something for all .

You have planned your wedding to be the most special day that you can, and you desire your honeymoon package to  be a relaxing honeymoon that is also perfect for the beginning of your lives together. Whether you are looking for a cheap honeymoon vacation, or just some interesting honeymoon ideas, there are plenty of ideas here that you can use to plan to make your honeymoon as special as you’d hoped for.

The top honeymoon spots are places that have been visited by thousands of honeymooners,all wishing for that perfect honeymoon vacation, at that perfect honeymoon destination, and there are plenty of choices.

To begin with, you need to decide what kind of honeymoon vacation you would like – are you looking for sun and sandy beaches, or would you prefer a city known for its romance like Paris, or Rome? Are you wanting to spend all your vacation relaxing after all the stress of preparing for your wedding, or do you want to visit a city with some culture and art, with museums galore to wander around, and lots of romantic night life as well?

Once you have realized the kind of vacation you both are looking for, and have settled on a city, or perhaps even just a country, then you can take a look at the best honeymoon packages that are available there, and you will find some great deals here. Hotels have realized how they are able to attract many honeymooners by offering these wonderful package deals, but not all the packages are the same, so you should read the small print carefully.

Ensure that any deal that you commit to has what your are looking for in a honeymoon package, and that you are not paying for too many extras that you will not in fact use.

The effort of choosing a honeymoon deal can occupy a great deal of time, depending a great deal on the time available and the budget you are choosing to spend on this destination. It is a special time for just you two, but then so is every day for the remainder of your lives together. There are some engaged couples who spend everything they have on their wedding and their romantic Honeymoon, but then have very few funds to fall back on later in life, if things turn awkward financially, and in this economy, you just never know what is likely to happen. It might be more advisable to cut back a little on the honeymoon, so that you are able to put some money away ready for that rainy day, whenever it shows up.
