Why go
Mauritius is the honeymoon island for couples who get restless on a sun lounger. The reef-ringed lagoon handles the swimming; inland there are tea estates, waterfalls, Creole markets and the brooding bulk of Le Morne to hike at dawn. Food is the sleeper hit — Indian, Chinese, French and African on one menu. Resorts discount heavily in May and June: cooler, drier, cyclone-free and noticeably cheaper than Christmas.
