Honeymoons are arguably the best part about getting married. Here are three locations that should inspire a sense of adventure as you begin your life together: The wild and fascinating Mauritius, the Caribbean's St. Lucia, and mysterious India.Mauritius
Mauritius is surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches, blue lagoons, palm trees and coral reefs. The beauty of the island is overwhelming. Those who loves nature will be absolutely astonished by the magnificence of the mountains, nature reserves and wildlife parks.
Located in the Indian Ocean, to the east of Madagascar, in Mauritius you will discover Hindu temples, churches and mosques. The natural beauty of Mauritius is carefully preserved by never building its luxurious hotels higher than a palm tree.
Anyone and everyone would feel at home in Mauritius. The people (Mauritians) are of different nationalities: Indians, Africans, Europeans and Chinese. The Indo-Mauritians are divided into three groups: Hindus, Tamils and Moslems. They are all united and live in peace with each other. The people are full of charm, very courteous and helpful.
St. Lucia
If you're looking for a rare kind of honeymoon - the holiday of a lifetime in one the world's most beautiful tropical settings - St Lucia is the place for you. It is an enchanting island with warm sunshine, natural trade winds and non-stop action. This almond-shaped island has a great many isolated beaches and coves waiting to be discovered.
The island has a timeless grace to it as you drive through its colonial towns and quiet fishing villages. Of interest also are the giant ferns, the wild orchids and the rain forest. St Lucia is wonderfully unspoilt.You won't find strips of high-rise hotels here; most places to stay are tucked away in lush surroundings. During the day, visit colourful markets in the little French-named towns, explore the National Rainforest and discover exotic birds and flowers, or take into the water for windsurfing, water-skiing, sailing or scuba diving. At night dine under the stars at restaurants overlooking the sea or nestling in the hills.
India
India's amazing diversity offers you everything you could ever want in a honeymoon. Even the word "India" conjures images of an exotic world: A land of incense, of beautiful monuments, of elephants, palanquins, of temples and mosques, of ash smeared sadhus, of the Taj... a land of romance, mysticism and wisdom.
The real beauty of India however is located in that forgotten village that lies tucked in between those famous cities, or in that inconspicuous sleepy town that the tourists never remember to visit.
Go back in to the days of yore and spend an exciting evening on a pirate ship. Dance at a carnival night in Goa or savour a beautiful day and laze on the golden sands. Created by Emperor Shah Jehan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, 20,000 men struggled for 22 years to build this wonder of the world in white marble and precious stones.
India, always warm and inviting, is a place of infinite variety - one that favors couples with a different facet of its fascination.
