A Honeymoon Beyond your Wildest Dreams
First the British Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine had us enraptured and then we were fascinated by the nuptials of South Africa's beautiful Princess Charlene who wed her Prince, Albert of Monaco.

Yes, romance is truly alive and well, and dwells in the heart of every young woman who fantasises about being swept into the sunset by her own knight in shining armour. Not only does she dream of a perfect wedding and all that goes with it, but also of a luxurious and romantic honeymoon in paradise. Of lingering sunsets, stolen kisses on the warms sands and long, moonlit walks; of days sipping on exotic cocktails and much, much more.
If this dream is your dream, look no further than Constance Le Prince Maurice for that idyllic honeymoon. Situated on the gorgeous tropical island of Mauritius, a mere 4 hour flight from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport, Constance Le Prince Maurice lies 45 km from the airport and 35 km form Mauritius’ capital, Port Louis.
The luxurious five-star resort is set within 60 hectares of unspoiled, dense tropical vegetation on an isolated stretch of pristine white sands lapped by the warm Indian Ocean waters of the calm lagoon. Facilities at Le Prince Maurice are par excellence, and you and your loved one will never be short of things to do, even if you choose never to leave the resort to explore the rest of the island.

Romantic candle-lit dinners, tender moments sipping sundowners and other interludes aside, you can balance your togetherness with outdoor activities and chill-out time. The hotel has all the amenities we’ve come to expect from a five-star establishment – swimming pool, tennis court, fitness centre, water sports facilities, in-house movies and two 18-hole championship golf courses. But before the bride has nightmare visions of becoming a newlywed golf widow, there are trade-offs if the groom wants to try out the course – a couple of hours of bliss in the spa for her should be just the thing to keep her happy!
Constance Hotels Experience asked its Twitter followers for honeymoon tips and advice for newly-weds from people who’ve already been there, and here are some gems…

Planning your dream honeymoon
- Location, location, location! If one of you loves the sun, luxury swimming pools and relaxing massages, while the other enjoys diving, fine foods and exclusive bars and clubs, the Constance Le Prince Maurice will satisfy all your wants, needs and desires.
- Let an expert help you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime holiday you are planning, so using a travel agent or a consultant from a luxury resort may be worth your while.
- Plan your relaxation, excursions and luxury pampering in advance. While it is your honeymoon – a time for togetherness and relaxation, you may find some “me time” and time apart will give you something to look forward to – your reunion. Plan and book your luxuries and trips in advance – both together and separately.
- Eat well, drink well and don’t feel guilty about it! Excellent food and drink is all part of the luxury experience. Don’t feel guilty – dive in and enjoy everything Le Prince Maurice has to offer! Sample local cuisine, luxury truffles and pastries and drink the champagne and cocktails without guilt – it’s your honeymoon!
- Take lots of photographs. Ask other people to take photos of you together – you’ll treasure these memories for many years to come.
- Remember to pamper each other. Enjoy the indulgences available at Le Prince Maurice, but also remember that pampering isn’t only about luxuries you have to pay for. Pampering includes walks on the beach at sunset, breakfast by the sea, walks while chatting about your future together. And pack some massage oil – and pamper each other in the privacy of your honeymoon suite.
- Tell everyone you’re on honeymoon! You’ll be surprised at the extra special service and attention you’ll get when people realise you’re on honeymoon.
- Forget about everyone and everything at home. Just for once, forget about family, friends and work back home. This is about the two of you and your new life as a couple.
- Don’t let sunburn spoil your holiday, especially not on day one! Pack sunscreen and hats/caps, and use them – even if the weather is overcast.
- Allow some time back at home before returning to work. Book a couple of extra days when you return from your honeymoon, so you don’t have to leap back into the thick of things at work – your luxury break may seem like a distant memory all too soon.
Make it magic, make it special and make it memorable. Cheers to your future together!
