Where better to start married life than the tropical island of Mauritius, staying at one of the island’s newest and most luxurious properties, The Grand Mauritian, a Luxury Collection Resort and Spa? Set against the backdrop of beautiful Balaclava overlooking one of only two natural marine parks on the island, both the location and service is truly five-star.

All of the 193 spacious rooms and suites have balconies or terraces, so you will enjoy your very own spectacular private ocean view. Traditional thatched roof exteriors are complemented by sumptuous modern classical interiors and large open plan marble bathrooms inspired by the indigenous colours of the island. The only Video on Demand TV system on Mauritius is ideal for cosy nights in, whilst stunning landscaped gardens and two swimming pools provide the ideal surroundings for lazy days.
