When most couples are planning for a honeymoon, there are a number of things that linger in your mind like clear waters, white sand beaches, palm trees, accommodation with an ocean view and so on. This sounds like the ideal setting to allow your mind and body to relax while you explore the world together with your lover. Well, Mauritius and Seychelles both offer these luxuries as they are both islands in the Indian Ocean. Both destinations offer a perfect ambience for a romantic honeymoon and this may make it quite difficult to choose between these two destinations. We have tried to narrow down and make the choice between the two easier based on your personality. The two destinations have so much in common and specialize in beach holidays. So which suits you and your spouse?


Solitude
If you are the type of couple that enjoy isolation, then Seychelles would be ideal for you. This is mainly due to the fact that there are so many islands that allow visitors to spread out, giving you the privacy that you need. In Seychelles, any hotel that has 25 beds or more, is considered to be large. Most of the beaches are deserted and you can find so many private islands. Statistics indicate that there are barely 200,000 annual visitors in Seychelles.
Mauritius on the other hand has over 800,000 visitors in any given year. There is live and exotic entertainment in most resorts in Mauritius, water sports, golfing and so many other hyper activities. This may not be the perfect destination for couples that are considered to be the solitary type.

Nature Lovers
If you are looking to connect with nature, then head to Seychelles. In as much as there have been a number of efforts in Mauritius, consistency lacks in these pursued efforts. Seychelles has a tradition to conserve the environment and this is why you will find a number of forests, marine parks, mountain reserves and so much more. You will also get a chance to with the plankton-eating whale shark, which is considered to be the largest fish in the world. The Couisine Island is a designated 27 hectares for turtles and birds. The Aldabra Island is home to over 150,000 tortoises. These are some of the opportunities that Seychelles provides you and your spouse to take discovery and exploration trips, while reconnecting with nature.

Love Birds
Both Mauritius and Seychelles have the ability to offer exotic and romantic holidays. However, if you want to explore each other in a passionate way, Seychelles seems to offer exclusivity and privacy that you may need. The natural beauties of the beaches and the private islands serve as a romantic backdrop, which will fan the flame of your passion. Here you will find sensual accommodation, spas, meals on the ocean edges and so much more. Seychelles has been ranked as the favorite destination if you require personalized service. Mauritius is also warm and is known to have hospitality ethos from the professional staff, but this is known to be offered at a large scale and the privacy may be limited.

Full of Energy
If you want to test your adrenaline and are full of energy, you should book your flight to Mauritius. This is where you will enjoy activities like jet skiing, windsurfing, water sports and so much more. Every honeymoon resort is packed with tons of activities which will cause your heart to beat faster. Most of these activities are not for the faint-hearted. In Seychelles, there are a number of activities that you can take, but all motorized sports are illegal for purposes of conservation. If you are a couple that is looking for some energetic activities, Mauritius will provide all these and more. Snorkeling is quite popular and the equipment is provided free of charge. You can take an adventurous honeymoon holiday with your lover and this will allow you to bond and connect more.

Elite Indulgence
Mauritius has a number of world-class resorts, which are known to provide exclusive luxury at a large scale. Most of the resorts in Seychelles are small, but offer privacy and exclusivity. In the recent past, Seychelles has really worked hard to catch with Mauritius in terms of luxury accommodation and had already surpassed it. The private islands have been modified so as to provide the ultimate private luxury. This does not come as a surprise that Kate Middleton and Prince William chose to spend their honeymoon in the Beautiful North Island.
With these few pointers, it will be easier to pick a destination for your honeymoon. You will realize that both destinations have so much similarity. However, one outweighs the other in one aspect and vice versa. The choice of your honeymoon destination will be, mainly, influenced by your personality type as a couple.
