Mauritius is a preferred destination for honeymooners. But Mauritius is the apt destination to get married in too! The natural and beautiful vistas of Mauritius make it an ideal gateway for couples seeking to exchange marriage vows and continue with an idyllic honeymoon by the sea. 

Imagine you and your beloved exchanging vows in an exotic beach, standing between bright blue sky and the stretches of silvery sands, and surrounded with swaying palms. The soft murmur of the sea makes it even more romantic and divine. In Mauritius, you can get married almost anywhere, including a local church, on board a yacht, in a luxury resort hotel, a Mauritius civil wedding ceremony in a Budhist temple, in a Hindu temple or aboard a gleaming catamaran while cruising on a private beach – anything and everything is possible. 

Getting married doesn’t require many scary formalities here. The pre-requisites of getting married in Mauritius include registration with the ‘Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages’ located at Port Louis and four weeks notification prior to your wedding date. The basic documents differ for a civil and a religious wedding, but your passport copy and birth certificates are a few mandatory documents.

Shop at the capital and main port of Mauritius - Port Louis. It is a pretty waterfront area with character and history and plenty of entertainment and shopping options to offer. Visit Chamarel seven coloured earth, Pamplemousses botanical gardens, Grand Baie, museums and other heritage sites.
