The best places in Mauritius to get engaged

You may not even need to leave your resort, as your hotel has everything you need for a trip full of luxury and romance. For example, at LUX* Grand Baie you can book the Grand Beach Pool Villa and propose from your private pool or at sunset overlooking the ocean from your terrace.

Or, perhaps get down on one knee on the stunning beach of Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort or from your stunning villa at Heritage The Villas. The options are endless.

These are also some of the best resorts in Mauritius for honeymoons, should you wish to return to your special place to celebrate your nuptials. 

One of the most romantic things you could do is propose during a private candlelit dinner for two on the stunning beach. Your hotel concierge can whip up your dream menu to help make your perfect moment happen. Constance Prince Maurice is the perfect place for this. 

On the west coast of Mauritius is this absolute picture-perfect beach, which is super popular for a spot of romance. The long stretch of white soft sand and incredible views of the ocean make it the perfect spot for some champagne, a picnic, and a twinkling engagement ring. 

For something a little more cultural, head to the capital Port Louis. This is the place to explore food, architecture and the real Mauritius vibe. You could take a stroll under the famous colourful umbrellas, or perhaps ask at one of the charming cafes or restaurants. 

Tamarin Bay is great for adventurous couples who want to explore the majestic ocean with a spot of surfing, snorkelling, or diving. The beach is located near the beautiful Black River Village and gives the most picture-perfect views of the black mountain ranges whilst you relax on the stunning coastline. 

If you want a truly memorable proposal, Chamarel is one of the most idyllic places you could do it. Here, you'll find the ‘Seven Coloured Earth.’

As it's name suggests,this geological wonder has seven colours: yellow, violet, purple, blue, green, orange and brown, complete with lush green vegetation surrounding it. One of the most romantic places to bend the knee is the incredible Chamarel Waterfall. It’s a spectacle to behold. 

One of the most tranquil places on the island is Poste de Flacq. If you are looking for a chilled-out proposal, in a serene setting, this may just be the location for you. 

Also known as Ile Aux Cerfs, this island truly lives up to its name. The views are simply jaw-dropping. The combination of tall palm trees, soft white sands, and turquoise waters is a winning one. 

This beach is located in the north of the island and is famous for its incredible sunsets. So why not take some cocktails, maybe some nibbles and watch the sunset over the glittering sea before you get down on one knee? 

If you want to be immersed in nature, this is the location for you. You can explore the beaches, the fashion scene, and the incredible cuisine before heading to the pier and asking them the big question. 

One of the most magical places to visit in Mauritius is the gorgeous cascading waterfalls of Tamarind Falls. There are seven waterfalls to explore, so it’s best to go on a hike to explore which one feels right in the moment.

You’ll also get to explore the stunning flora and fauna in the area as you make your way through the stunning forest. 

Want to propose with a backdrop of waterfalls and gorges? Souillac is the perfect place for you. You can swim in natural pools whilst enjoying the most exceptional views of the waterfalls and out to sea. It’s so romantic, that they’ll be whisked off their feet before you even ask the question. 

One of the most beautiful places in Mauritius is the National Botanical Gardens. This is one of the oldest botanical gardens on the island. You should take a romantic wander through the gardens exploring the vibrant lush plants and trees. Find a quiet spot to ask them to marry you immersed in the most stunning nature. 

You’re going to need a photographer for this one. Le Morne Brabant is one of the most stunning landscapes on the island, and that’s saying something.

You can enjoy a romantic cuddle in the sea hammocks, sink into a lush daybed or sit back and relax with a cocktail at the beach bars to build up some courage. 

Hike through the most majestic rainforests and gorges whilst viewing tropical birds, wildlife and the most incredible lush green views. Treat yourself to a magical proposal, when you make it to the top of the hill, if that doesn’t take their breath away, the view certainly will.
