Three beaches in Mauritius where romance lingers long after sunset
Some places seem made for love. In Mauritius, the setting sun has a way of slowing the world, letting you notice the way your partner smiles, the way their hand fits perfectly in yours, the way the horizon glows just for you both.
Among the treasures of the island, three beaches stand out as the perfect stage for an evening picnic that feels like a scene from your own love story : Flic-en-Flac, Belle Mare, Le Morne.
Flic-en-Flac : Laughter on the Lagoon
Located on the west coast, Flic-en-Flac is known for its golden sandy shores embraced by tranquil turquoise waters. Couples stroll barefoot along the water’s edge, their warm smiles leaving footprints that the tide gently washes away, bringing them closer together.
As you watch the tide ebb and flow, open a bottle of chilled wine and share heartfelt stories while the waves caress the shore. Enjoy sweet slices of ripe mango, tasting the essence of summer. As the sky paints itself in shades of gold and violet, you realize that while the sun sets, you too are part of this magical moment.
Belle Mare : A Whisper of Forever
Belle Mare offers tranquility, one gentle step at a time. The filao trees lining the shores seem to lean toward the waters, as if captivated by its beauty. Though the beach stretches endlessly, the love you feel here is immeasurable.
Soft conversation, tender touches, and the peaceful silence of the warm lagoon come alive in the early evening. The glowing waters make every sunset like a perfect scene. The person beside you smiles as you offer them a samoussa or some salty treats, it is impossible to not smile back while savouring these little delights together.
Le Morne : Love Beneath the Mountain
Where history and legend meet is at the foot of Le Monde Brabant, a remarkable mountain that rises right at the edge of the ocean, where the golden rays of the sun spill over the horizon. The ocean breathes salty air, and the waves seem to resonate with the rhythm of the heart.
This is the perfect spot for a couples to celebrate life’s milestones, from promises and proposals to timeless, unforgettable kisses. Sharing a picnic for a fresh seafood, crusty bread, and passion fruit tart here becomes a feast for the soul against such an enchanting backdrop.
The Memory You’ll Carry Home
You might forget the exact date, the taste of the bottle of wine, or even the song you were softly humming. But what stays with you, what really stays, is how you felt at that moment. How the world seems to slow down just for the two of you. How the colors of the sky danced in your partner’s eyes. How love stretched out, endless and deep, just as the ocean before you.
Sunsets in Mauritius are not just the end of a day. They are little moments that sneak into your heart and quietly glow there, long after you have left the beach. Moments you will carry with you, ready to be felt again whenever you close your eyes and remember.
