Mauritius among top 10 for Irish honeymooners

DESCRIBED as a sparkling crystal in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, the island of Mauritius, where Michaela Harte met her untimely end, is among the top 10 destinations for Irish honeymooners.

Located to the east of Madagascar, the tropical paradise boasts eight months a year of beach weather temperatures of 29C-31C — a perfect sun destination for newlyweds.

According to a spokesperson for Tropical Sky, the popularity of Mauritius among Irish tourists is down to the island’s white-sand beaches and unspoilt beauty.
