Imagine opening your eyes to the sound of gentle waves, stepping onto your terrace and finding the Indian Ocean stretching out before you… in Mauritius, a coastal getaway is about making the sea a part of your stay, from sunrise to dinner and everything in between!
Choose a Beachside Luxury Resort
Start with a resort on the east coast, particularly around beautiful Belle Mare, one of the island’s longest and most picturesque beaches. Its immaculate white sands meet the warm, azure waters of the ocean, creating an idyllic setting for unwinding. At ideal properties here, like The Residence Mauritius, you are also perfectly placed to explore the east coast’s secluded coves, sparkling lagoons and spectacular dive sites.
Wake Up in an Ocean View Room
Look for accommodation at Mauritius beach resorts inspired by elegant plantation houses, with luxurious rooms or suites offering beautiful ocean vistas. Some overlook a lagoon, giving you an intimate island hideaway where you can awake to the soothing songs of waves. Of course, a spacious private terrace with wooden furnishings and sun loungers makes the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee while admiring the turquoise waters.
Dine with the Sea as Your Backdrop
Once you have enjoyed the sea views from bed, why stop there? Choose a resort with beachfront dining where fresh seafood and Creole cuisine are served alongside spectacular ocean scenery. Depending on the experience, you might enjoy a special lobster night on the shore or sit down to a romantic three-course dinner for two on the beach… because sometimes, the best table really is the one with sand beneath your feet!
Turn Ocean Time Into Adventure
The Indian Ocean isn’t just beautiful to look at and offers plenty to explore as well. Snorkelling and underwater walks offer sightings of colourful marine life, while diving at sites such as La Passe near Belle Mare gives you a chance to encounter spread-eagled rays, giant tuna and more. You can also go water skiing, kayaking, windsurfing or canoeing, then venture further by glass-bottom boat, or go on a deep-sea fishing trip or catamaran cruise.
