The 9 Best Luxury Resorts For Your Mauritius Honeymoon

Dinarobin Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa

Sitting on Mauritus’ scenic sandy shoreline, overlooked by the looming Le Morne, all-suite luxury resort Dinarobin Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa is all about the allure of the outdoors. While all accommodation is beautifully bordered by tropical gardens, exotic palms and seemingly endless white sand, couples on their honeymoon in Mauritius will fall in love with the resort’s Zen zone. This adults-only crescent doesn’t just feature 34 ultra-secluded suites; there’s also a quiet, private beach area with comfy loungers, boasting on-the-sand Wi-Fi and the service of an attentive beach concierge.

Date night will look different each evening, with a new culinary journey to experience every day — will you be tempted by the aromas of L’Harmonie’s live cooking stations, or would you prefer food with your feet in the sand at La Plage? If you’re ready to leave wedding stress far behind, spend a few hours at Dinarobin’s spa, inhaling the unique blend of essentials oils as you’re spoilt with a range of soothing body treatments. Alternatively, for those who’d prefer to perfect their swing, the resort’s privileged access to the nearby Paradis golf course means you can tee off on fairways backed by majestic mountains and seemingly endless turquoise waters whenever you desire

The St. Regis Mauritius Resort

Inspired by the country’s colonial past, The St. Regis Mauritius Resort is one of the best resorts for romance in Mauritius. Set directly on a sheltered stretch of white sand in front of UNESCO World Heritage Site Le Morne Brabant, couples honeymooning here will feel more like they’re staying at a residence than a hotel; arrive from the airport by private car, take a trip to the well-stocked library and watch secluded screenings in the private movie theatre. Of course, your dedicated St Regis butler will be waiting in the wings at all times too.

When it comes to dining, let your taste buds be tantalized in six romantic settings – from the French fare of Le Manoir to Michelin Star-inspired eating at The Indian Room – or indulge in life’s simpler pleasures with drinks and snacks delivered to your sun lounger! Of course, it would be foolish not to take advantage of having the Indian Ocean on your doorstep, whether it’s learning to kitesurf with personalised tuition or savouring the sights below the surface with a complimentary glass-bottom boat trip. For an extra special honeymoon experience, charter a catamaran and depart the coast for Benitiers Island, taking your pre-packed picnic with you whilst looking out for dolphins, often spotted frolicking in the nearby waters.

LUX* Grand Gaube

The recently revamped LUX* Grand Gaube on Mauritus’ north coast is the perfect place for a romantic retreat. Featuring esteemed design by Kelly Hoppen with a fashionable African influence, geometric fabrics and vintage furnishings can be found in every one of the super-chic villas, while graffiti by street artist Jace adorns the walls for modern day detail. For lovers of food and drink, the resort’s six restaurants host some of the hottest tables of the island — The Palm Court will take you on a culinary journey around the world without leaving Mauritius, enhanced by interactive cooking stations to fully fuel the senses.

The informal and intimate atmosphere encourages you to truly kick back and relax together on your honeymoon, indulging in facilities including two swimming pools, tennis courts, a golf course and the gorgeous LUX* Me Spa, proudly boasting the Essie nail bar and Murdock London barbershop. As day turns to dusk, relish romantic evenings watching local musicians and dancers entertain the crowd as the sun disappears, or head out to Grand Baie to experience the undoubtedly vibrant nightlife and bustling beach clubs, known to attract free-spirited travellers to the island’s blue-hued coast.

A Mauritian resort with touches of Asian hospitality, Shangri-La’s Le Touessrok Resort is the ultimate choice for couples seeking a blissfully beach-orientated honeymoon. The resort’s five perfectly white beaches – sprawling over four kilometres – are the island’s most private, letting couples experience their own personal paradise. Just offshore, honeymooners here can explore two private island retreats.

Around the resort, the adults-only pool in the palm grove is the perfect spot for an afternoon cocktail or two, or you can escape to the ayurvedic gardens to mix your own oils, before relaxing with a rejuvenating couples’ massage. By night, head to Republik for an evening of live music with the ocean as your backdrop.

The Westin Mauritius Turtle Bay Resort and Spa

20 Degrees Sud

If you’d prefer your post-wedding getaway somewhere more intimate, Relais & Châteaux member 20 Degrees Sud couldn’t be more suited. An adults-only, boutique bolthole hidden in a coconut grove, just 29 air-conditioned rooms and suites are individually decorated and adorned with antiques, with more exclusive room categories also boasting Nespresso coffee machines, plunge pools and four-poster beds. There’s no need to leave this secluded spot for dinner either; overlook the waves as you dine at the oceanfront restaurant, or get even closer to the Indian Ocean waters by chartering the island’s oldest motorboat, M/S Lady Lisbeth, for an unforgettable dinner cruise that promises to be the pinnacle of your honeymoon in Mauritius.

Service is as personable as the setting at 20 Degrees Sud, with private yoga teachers and personal trainers available for one-to-one sessions, whilst every staff member is consciously committed to perfecting your romantic getaway.

The height of honeymoon romance can be found at 20 Degrees Secret Spa;  more than 40 treatments include body scrubs with Mother of Pearl and mud wraps with royal jelly, but why not truly pamper your partner by giving them a muscle-relieving massage as part of the Lovers Retreat ritual?

Featuring fresh produce from the herb and vegetable gardens, every one of Shanti’s restaurants shares the same passion for authentic cuisine.

The cosy, yet characterful Seapoint Boutique Hotel lies on a peaceful peninsula near Grand Baie, boasting a chic beach house design that’s perfect for contemporary couples. Less than thirty Mauritian-style rooms, suites and villas make the hotel incredibly intimate, with the first floor’s Royal Suite said to be the place for romance.

Slower paced afternoons are best spent at spa, treating yourself to Thalgo facials and soothing massages, before retiring to the Beach Bar to chill out with a Namaste cocktail, made with the freshest tropical fruits.

So, how much does a honeymoon in Mauritius cost?

The cost of a luxury honeymoon in Mauritius depends on which resort you choose, whether you stay room-only or full board, and how much you spend on those all-important special details. However, choosing an all-inclusive option usually provides the best value for money at most resorts! With the package often covering food, drink and sometimes activities, it leave more money for you to spend on unforgettable honeymoon experiences, whether it’s a scenic helicopter flight over the island, or a private candlelight dining experience with your toes sunk into the sand.

Whichever option you choose, expect prices to creep up in peak season — from November to April — when the temperatures climb to their highest and the water is calm and clear for snorkelling.

What to know before you go to Mauritius

• Flight time – If you’re flying from the United Kingdom, the flight time is approximately 12 hours direct. Although there’s a GMT +4 hour time difference, many experience no form of jet lag!
• Currency – The island’s currency is the Mauritian rupee (MUR). If you want to be savvy about saving on your honeymoon, it’s best to exchange you money in Mauritius where you’ll get a better rate.
• Language – Although there isn’t any official language, the island’s heritage means French is the most spoken language here, followed by English. So, it may be worth learning a little more than bonjour!
