Valentine's Day is already behind the door and you still don't know what to offer to your beloved one? Beyond flower bouquets, chocolates and romantic dinners, why not consider a more original gift to rekindle your couple's love affair?

This year we invite you to fly to Mauritius! Known for its beautiful pristine beaches, spectacular sunsets and postcard landscapes, this ideal destination will conquer the hearts of your beloved half.

Here are our recommendations for charming accommodations and special activities that will make you share memorable moments together.

Intimacy and well-being under the southern sun

To the romantics who are looking for an idyllic place where the atmosphere is enchanting and the climate is tropical all year round, we propose a stay at the various hotels of Heritage Resorts. Located in Bel-Ombre on the southeast coast of the island, you have the choice between Héritage Le Telfair, Héritage Awali and Héritage The Villas.

Bordered by one of the most beautiful lagoons in the country, the village of Bel-Ombre was still a sugar estate village not so long ago. Moreover, the Creole architecture of these establishments highlights the heritage of this mythical place full of history. From the top of its lush hills to the lagoon you will find some stunning rooms, suites and even villas that overlook the ocean. You will be immersed in a world where the serenity of the south and harmony with nature blends together into a haven.

To give your love story a new boost, treat yourself to a dream stay in one of the luxury villas at Heritage The Villas. To enjoy Dolce Vita in complete privacy, plan to escape for a week in the heart of a 2500-hectare estate. Although you are cut off from the rest of the world, you will enjoy a 5-star service and an absolute comfort away from the crowds.

Housekeepers, chefs and therapists will all make the trip to offer you a stay of well-being. On your large sun terrace, ideal for lounging, you can relax on a deckchair or appreciate your private infinity swimming pool while contemplating the breath-taking view of the lagoon.

Love-bonding activities

In addition to being a haven of peace and beauty, the Bel Ombre estate gives you access to its magnificent 18-hole championship course, voted the best golf course in the Indian Ocean. Golf enthusiasts, use the cart available in your villa to access the Golf Club and enjoy the free Green fees.

Couples looking for a thrill, a discovery or a simple moment of relaxation in the tropical nature of Mauritius, you are at the right place. Discover a rich endemic flora and fauna at the Heritage Nature Reserve. This natural sanctuary is home to several botanical species such as the wild apple tree and ebony trees, as well as indigenous plants in a nursery. Whether it's a quad or buggy ride for two, a trekking trip, a safari or a picnic in the reserve, there are many outdoor activities available to enjoy extraordinary moments together. You will have the opportunity to observe Java deers, monkeys, Paille-en-queue birds, hares and wild boars in their natural habitat.

To further impress your valentine, book a table at Héritage le château. You will be delighted by a gourmet menu designed by starred chef David Toutain. Enjoy Mauritian dishes with a variety of local flavours and spices in this romantic 19th century setting. A great way to delight your taste buds and end this beautiful day!
