If you have ever travelled with kids, you know the drill: endless packing lists, unpredictable moods and a constant hunt for activities that suit everyone. That is why holidays in Mauritius feel like a breath of fresh air. On the island, life runs at a pace that makes travelling with children feel easy, with welcoming resorts and activities that suit both parents and kids without turning the schedule into a puzzle.

Mauritius: A Destination that Takes Care of the Whole Family

We must admit, Mauritius has a way of making families feel instantly comfortable. Its mild climate, calm lagoons and friendly pace of life set the scene for days that are both relaxing and full of discovery. Heritage Resorts captures this feeling perfectly, combining the island’s natural beauty with attentive service that makes travelling with children feel easy. Your day might begin watching the lagoon shift through shades of blue, include a slow wander past palm trees and end with the easy flow of island life after dark. Time together feels unhurried here and the days seem to collect their own small, memorable moments.

Hack 1: Pack Light for your Holidays in Mauritius

Packing for a family holiday often feels like preparing for a small expedition. Yet in Mauritius, you can travel lighter. Resorts here provide the extras you normally pack “just in case”, from snorkelling masks to beach toys. Need a bucket and a spade? The beach hut has you covered. Forgot your child’s bedtime story? There is usually a small library with a few picture books to choose from. Laundry services mean you can rotate a few outfits rather than overpack. After a few days, you may find yourself wearing your comfiest beachwear on repeat and wondering why you brought anything else.

Blue Earth Boutique: Your On-Site Family Store

At Heritage Resorts, the Blue Earth Boutique is your go-to destination for souvenirs, beach essentials and a variety of products for every family need. Open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., it stocks diapers, wipes, infant formula and baby food, as well as children’s clothing, beachwear, beach toys and cuddly stuffed animals. You will also find sunscreen, mosquito repellent and other baby products, making last-minute shopping quick and stress-free.

Comforts of Home During Your Holidays in Mauritius

Even if you choose a cosy room or a spacious villa, Heritage Resorts create a haven where parents and children can fully unwind. Each accommodation is thoughtfully equipped with cradles and hypoallergenic bedding, nappy bins, baby bathtubs, changing mattresses, bottle warmers and sterilisers. These comforts mean you can settle in straight away and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having everything you need at hand.

Hack 2: A Stress-free Holiday Starts Before you Unpack

Family-friendly resorts in Mauritius are designed with parents in mind. Spacious suites mean no one is tripping over suitcases. Many come with connecting rooms so siblings can have their own space while still being nearby. Mini-fridges are perfect for keeping drinks and snacks at hand, blackout curtains help little ones nap even in the middle of the day and bathrooms often have step stools or baby baths ready.

Transfers from the airport are simple and relatively short, giving you a first glimpse of sugarcane fields, colourful villages and flashes of the coastline before you arrive. Once you step into the lobby, check-in is quick, welcome drinks are often offered for the whole family and luggage magically appears in your room. It is a calm start, setting the tone for the days ahead.

Hack 3: When the Kids have their Own Agenda

This is where Mauritius really shines. Resorts like Heritage Awali offer two dedicated clubs that turn childcare into adventure, giving parents a well-earned break while children enjoy experiences designed just for them.

Baby Timomo Club (0 to 35 months)

For the tiniest travellers, the Timomo Baby Club is a calm and caring space, open seven days a week from 8.30am to 3.30pm. Here, trained nurses, qualified in both childcare and first aid, look after your little ones with warmth and attention. Days might include gentle sensory play, quiet story time or short strolls in shaded gardens. Parents can relax knowing that every detail, from nappy changes to feeding times, is handled with care. This is your chance to enjoy a swim, a spa treatment, or even just a quiet coffee, completely at ease.

Timomo Kids Club (3 to 11 years)

For older children, the Timomo Kids Club is a world of energy, laughter and discovery. Each day has a mix of activities, from sports and beach games to creative workshops like painting and cooking. There are also themed evenings, including stargazing sessions, open-air cinema nights and mini discos under the tropical sky. With friendly mascots, a mix of local and international friends to meet and spaces designed for safe exploration, the club feels more like an adventure camp than childcare.

The magic of both Timomo clubs is that they give children their own holiday stories to tell, while parents enjoy the rare luxury of uninterrupted time.

Hack 4: Family Adventure during Your Holidays in Mauritius

In Mauritius, families can switch between adventure and relaxation, with activities that appeal to every age and keep the days feeling fresh.

Ideas for Active Days

– Explore Black River Gorges National Park on family-friendly trails surrounded by forest and bird calls.

– Take a boat trip to nearby islets for swimming and snorkelling in incredible lagoons.

– Hop on a glass-bottom boat to spot colourful fish and coral without getting wet.

– Try paddleboarding or kayaking in calm, sheltered bays.

– Visit Chamarel’s Seven Coloured Earth, a surreal sand dune formation with natural rainbow-like layers and nearby Chamarel waterfall.

Ideas for Gentler Days

– Stroll through local markets to browse spices, tropical fruit and handmade crafts.

– Discover waterfalls, viewpoints and sugarcane fields swaying in the breeze.

– Enjoy a picnic on one of the quiet beaches in Mauritius while the children play in the shallows.

The beauty of Mauritius is that you can mix these experiences at your own pace, letting the island’s rhythm guide you from one moment to the next.

Hack 5: Dining that Works for Every Appetite

In Mauritius, mealtimes are part of the holiday magic. Whether your family loves to try new flavours or stick to familiar favourites, there is always something on the table for everyone.

Breakfast: platters of tropical fruit, warm pastries and perfectly cooked eggs

Lunch: wood-fired pizzas by the pool, fresh grilled seafood on the sand, chips and burgers for the little ones, or a picnic on the beach.

Dinner: relaxed family barbecues under the stars or elegant Creole-inspired tasting menus for a parents’ night out

Special requests: chefs happily cater for allergies and preferences, from gluten-free bread to dairy-free desserts that still feel indulgent

Every meal is easy, flavourful and made to suit your family’s tastes.

Hack 6: Peaceful Moments Made for Parents

With kids’ clubs, safe beaches and caring staff, Mauritius gives parents the perfect setting to enjoy peaceful moments. You can sink into a spa treatment, either just for you or with your child for a gentle bonding experience, or immerse yourself in forest bathing in Bel Ombre Reserve. If you are curious about something new, try a chakra balancing session to restore your inner harmony.

For more active downtime, play a round of golf with ocean views, take a seaplane flight to admire the island from above, or head out on a big game fishing adventure for an exhilarating day at sea. And when you simply want to pause, there is nothing better than a sundowner cocktail as the sky turns pink, a leisurely swim in the pool, or the rare pleasure of reading a book without a single interruption. Mauritius makes space for all of it.

Hack 7: Let the Resort handle Special Requests

At Heritage Resorts, even the smallest details are looked after with genuine care. Need a baby cot, a bottle warmer, or extra towels after a sandy beach adventure? They will be at your door in no time. Twin beds and connecting rooms are also available on request, making sure everyone has the space they need.

Birthday celebrations are a delight here, with tailor-made parties featuring festive decorations, delicious treats, fun activities and plenty of laughter. The kind of day your child will remember for years.

The list of thoughtful extras does not stop there. Upon request, you can have a mosquito net for the baby bed, highchairs, anti-slip mats, a baby monitor, baby food jars, potty seats, or a step stool ready in your room. From practical comforts to special surprises, Heritage Resorts makes sure your holiday in Mauritius is as easy as it is memorable.

Holidays in Mauritius Where Everyone Gets What They Need

A family holiday should be as relaxing for parents as it is exciting for children, and Heritage Resorts makes that possible. With spacious accommodations, dedicated clubs for every age and a calendar full of activities, the resort takes the stress out of planning so you can focus on enjoying time together. Parents can unwind in the spa, on the golf course or simply by the pool, while children make new friends, learn new skills and have their own adventures. From thoughtful touches in your room to personalised service across the resort, everything is designed to make life easier. It is this blend of comfort, care and variety that makes Heritage Resorts the perfect choice for a truly hassle-free holiday in Mauritius.

Start Planning your Perfect Family Holidays in Mauritius

The best family holidays are the ones where no one’s watching the clock and Mauritius has a way of making that happen. At Heritage Resorts, the days seem to stretch just enough for everyone to do what they love. You go home with sandy shoes, a camera full of moments and the feeling that, for a little while, life slowed down in all the right ways.

A celebrated figure in French cinema and television, Audrey Fleurot recently enjoyed a stay at Heritage Le Telfair, located on the southern coast of Mauritius. Through this Q&A, she shares the highlights of her getaway, her impressions of the resort, and how this magical break helped recharge her energy and creativity.

What inspired you to visit Mauritius and Heritage Le Telfair?

Mauritius is truly paradise on Earth. There are so many incredibly appealing things about it. Personally, I rarely get more than a week off at a time, so when time is short and the grey skies weigh heavy especially in northern France where I spend a lot of time, Mauritius becomes an obvious choice. It’s the perfect remedy for a lack of sunshine, sleep, and joy.

This trip also allowed me to reconnect with my son, since I’m often away. We shared precious moments in a stunning setting. It’s an intense burst of happiness, with minimal jet lag, which is a luxury. That sense of escape, the sunshine, the exotic atmosphere it’s exactly what you need when life gets hectic. We work a lot, we’re constantly on the move, and we don’t always have time to connect with our loved ones. This stay was a magical bubble, a little paradise where joyful memories are made.

Your favorite moment with us?

Every day brought memorable moments, and that’s what made the experience so special. The massages were incredible especially when my son happily went to the kids club! The sunsets, the walks in the Bel Ombre Nature Reserve… You can choose to relax or explore, depending on your mood.

What’s wonderful is that everyone can enjoy the kind of holiday they want. I came with my best friend, who’s passionate about golf, and he was thrilled. I even tried a golf initiation yesterday and totally understood the obsession with the perfect swing! It was amazing. I don’t have time to fully dive into it right now, but I wouldn’t rule it out for the future.

A recent role or collaboration that left a mark on you?

Every film is an adventure, and that’s what I love. I recently shot a film that really moved me, directed by Emmanuel Poulain-Arnaud with Dany Boon. It’s not a comedy, which is quite unusual for both of us. We play a separated couple whose 17-year-old son learns he will lose his sight in two months. The film explores what we choose to show him of the world before he can no longer see it. It’s a beautiful piece, and I’m very proud of it.

How do breaks like this influence your upcoming projects?

It’s mainly a reset. I just finished filming the first four episodes of the final season of HPI, and in a week I’ll start a feature film. This trip was a real decompression chamber. Shoots are intense, the schedules are crazy, and by the end, I’m completely drained.

This kind of break helps you come down before taking off again. I have a lot of energy, but it’s important not to feel like you’re constantly in a race. To create or at least to start a new adventure with the freshness it requires—you need to breathe. And when time is short, Mauritius is perfect.

Is it important for you to support responsible initiatives in your personal and professional life?

For an island like Mauritius, which holds this natural treasure and relies on tourism, protecting the reefs is vital. Paradise is fragile. With the influx of visitors, building new hotels can be destructive. Staying in a place like Heritage Le Telfair, which embraces eco-tourism and actively works to protect the reefs, is very important to me.

If you were to shoot a film in Mauritius, what kind of story would you tell?

I’d create a grand historical saga. Mauritius has a rich and little-known history, shaped by several waves of colonization that gave it its unique identity. The fact that people speak French, English… And dining at the Château de Bel Ombre, you feel the weight of history. You want to tell the story of the families, the plantations. A multi-generational saga that shows Mauritius is more than just an island surrounded by five-star hotels.

Three words to describe your stay at Heritage Le Telfair?

Joy, authenticity thanks to the beautiful wooden architecture and immersion in nature and escape, because it’s a magical break. Living here is something else, but for us visitors, it’s a wonderful bubble that helps us navigate our lives, both amazing and absurd.

And finally, Mauritius in one sentence?

It’s a true gem. Last time, I even visited villas for sale… But then I thought: no, I’ll just keep coming back for these beautiful little escapes.

At Heritage Resorts, childhood is celebrated with purpose. Nestled in the heart of Bel Ombre, our 5-star resorts offer more than just sun and sea, they’re home to immersive, nature-inspired experiences where children can play, learn, and grow in the most enchanting ways.

A world of discovery

Both at Heritage Le Telfair and Heritage Awali, the Timomo Kids Clubs provide safe, stimulating spaces for children aged 3 to 11. Days unfold with crab discovery walks, tortoise meet-and-greets, cooking workshops, science labs, and even Sega dance classes. As night falls, the magic continues with cinema under the stars, pajama parties, and stargazing adventures.

Each activity is designed to connect young minds with the island’s culture, biodiversity, and traditions, offering a truly meaningful holiday experience.

Mealtime becomes playtime

Housed within the Timomo Kids Club at Heritage Le Telfair, this dining area transforms meals into joyful, hands-on experiences. Children savour familiar favourites like pasta, bol renversé and samoussas at lively cooking stations, and unleash their creativity with cupcake decorating and fruit salad bars. The space is bright, welcoming, and made just for them.

Dive into imagination

At Heritage Awali, little ones can explore the Yellow Submarine, a colourful, imaginative space that introduces them to the marine world through creative play. It’s learning without effort, guided by storytelling, art, and curiosity.

Heritage Marine Education Centre, nature as a classroom

Just steps from the sea, the Heritage Marine Education Centre invites kids and families to discover Mauritius’ marine ecosystems through guided beach walks, hands-on exhibits and lagoon explorations. Led by marine biologists, these activities are designed to instil wonder and a sense of responsibility for the natural world.

A passport to sustainability

Through the Petit Écolo booklet, children learn about sustainability in fun and interactive ways. As they explore Bel Ombre’s treasures, from mangroves to heritage gardens, they collect stamps, complete challenges and become little eco-ambassadors.

A garden of their own

At the Kids Club potager, young guests help tend to herbs and vegetables, learning about seasonal growing and the value of nurturing the Earth. It’s a small garden with a big message: sustainability starts with simple, hands-on action.

Art as a playground

At the Timomo Kids Club of Heritage Le Telfair, Local artist Sapna brings colour to the kids’ world with vibrant murals and engaging workshops. From painting to collage, she encourages young creatives to express themselves while celebrating Mauritian culture through art.

Over at Heritage Awali, another artistic gem adorns the Kids Club walls: a lively mural by Guillaume St Flour, a rising local talent. His artwork pays tribute to Mauritian childhood by featuring Tikoulou, the beloved character who has captured the hearts of generations. Full of colour and life, this mural adds a touch of tenderness and local pride to the space, turning it into a canvas of shared stories and joyful memories.

At Heritage Resorts, kids don’t just have fun they flourish. Through carefully curated activities that blend joy with purpose, we create unforgettable family holidays rooted in culture, nature, and connection.

Let the adventure begin.

David Foenkinos, French novelist, playwright, and filmmaker, recently stayed at Heritage Le Telfair. His return to Mauritius, a place he hadn’t seen in forty years, was filled with emotion and childhood memories. In this exchange, he shares his impressions of the island’s beauty, its human richness, and the inspiration he drew from his time there.

What does this return to Mauritius mean to you?

“It’s extremely emotional, and even quite unsettling, because my father used to work in Mauritius when I was a child. So I came here many, many times when I was about 7 or 8 years old, in the early 1980s. I always had the dream, the fantasy, of coming back to Mauritius.

My father was in charge of the airport control tower. He lived here, and since my mother worked in France and we didn’t have to pay for flights, we visited him regularly.

So I experienced Mauritius in the 80s. He had lots of Mauritian colleagues, a house… We really saw Mauritian life. It left a deep impression on me. For a little Parisian boy, discovering life in Mauritius was very powerful.

And I had never returned.

I was invited to give talks at a literary event in Réunion, for a festival. I accepted the invitation thinking: this is my chance to return to Mauritius.

That’s how it happened. It’s my comeback after 40 years.”

How was your stay at Heritage Le Telfair?

“I’m here with my daughter, so we’re clearly on holiday.
We had several experiences, including an excursion to the Bel Ombre Nature Reserve. It was very powerful—seeing wild nature, the beauty of the landscapes.”

Does the island inspire your writing?

“Definitely, it’s an inspiring island. Even just driving from the airport and crossing the island, you see temples, chapels… This mix of cultures, this richness, is very powerful.
I wondered whether what I had known as a child had disappeared with tourism. But you can feel that Mauritian life is still very present, very strong.

Just this morning, we spoke with the people on the boat. They told us about life here.
So yes, it’s an island that could inspire me. But it’s not necessarily the scenery that inspires me—it’s the human stories, the people I meet.”

What do you appreciate most here?

“There’s never any noise here. And I love that. True rest is silence. The sound of the sea is enough.
For me, this calm, this atmosphere—that’s what’s truly restful.”

Three words to sum up your stay?

If you ask me for three words to sum up my stay… I’d say: desire to return.”..

Planning your holidays to Mauritius? Chances are, you’ve been searching for the best places to visit on this incredible island. Beyond the usual beaches and markets, there’s a side of Mauritius many visitors never see. Quiet coves where locals picnic on Sundays, tiny waterfalls hidden in the forest and islands with stories older than the resorts themselves. If you’re curious to explore deeper, here are seven places most tourists miss, but perhaps you shouldn’t.

Savinia Beach

When people talk about holidays to Mauritius, they often imagine busy beaches lined with umbrellas, but here it’s different. Surrounded by sugar cane fields, Savinia Beach is a place where time slows down. Discreet, quiet and well hidden, this spot is known to few. There are no sun loungers or water sports kiosks. This beach is made up of long stretches of sand. Those who know the area come here to recharge their batteries, admire the view and enjoy a small natural pool with incredibly clear water. Others come with friends or families to enjoy a quiet day out, savouring home-cooked food, avoiding their screens and getting closer to nature. If you visit the island, bring your sandals and let the tide caress your ankles as you walk. It’s simple, it’s peaceful and breathtaking.

Location: L’escalier, Grand Port District

Difficulty: Depending on your route, you might find yourself climbing over rocks or following uneven paths.

Minissy Waterfall

If you’ve ever had the impression that waterfalls in travel guides look suspiciously similar, Minissy Waterfall might change your mind. Located in the centre of the island, this unfamiliar waterfall requires a short hike to reach, but that’s half the reward. The path cuts through dense vegetation before revealing the falls themselves: modest in size, but magnificent in sound. If you’re lucky, you’ll have them all to yourself. Take the time to sit on the rocks secretly warmed by the sun and let the water spray cool your skin. As we move beyond forest pools, let’s step into one of Mauritius’ quiet coastal villages next.

Location: Moka

Difficulty: Medium

Disclaimer: It’s best to stay close to the shore where the water stays shallow. You can also hire a guide to advise you.

Bois des Amourettes

When most people plan their holidays to Mauritius, places like Bois des Amourettes rarely make the itinerary. Yet this tiny village, nestled between Lion Mountain and Grand-Port Bay, shows you a side of the island few visitors see. The name itself raises questions. Was this really a meeting place for secret lovers, as some say? Or does it simply take its name from the Amourette trees that once filled the village? Either way, life here is peaceful. People live close to the sea and to each other, sharing stories on doorsteps as fishing boats bob offshore. Walk to the end of the wooden jetty and gaze out at the quiet horizon. If you’re after a slower pace during your holidays to Mauritius, this might be your favourite stop.

Location: In the south-east of the island

Level of difficulty: None

Île de la Passe

Most visitors to Mauritius stick to the main island, but just offshore lies Île de la Passe, a small island packed with history. Used as a fort during the 19th-century naval battles, its crumbling walls now stand silent among sea birds and wild plants. You’ll need to hire a boat from Mahébourg to get there, but exploring its quiet ruins gives you a rare glimpse into the island’s past. Standing here, with waves lapping at old stone steps, you can almost hear the echoes of cannons and sails.

Location: South-east coast of Mauritius

Level of difficulty: None

Mare Aux Joncs

Mare Aux Joncs is a small, quiet pond located deep in the southern hills of Mauritius, reached by a straightforward forest trail starting from the Riviere Noire entrance of Black River Gorges National Park. The walk takes about 45 minutes, crossing a river several times and following a clear, shaded path. Along the way, you’ll pass through stretches of native forest and walk beside a creek that stays close to the trail. At the pond, you’ll find a calm pool where local birds perch among the trees. There are no facilities here, just space to sit, read or enjoy the silence. It’s a simple but rewarding stop for anyone looking for a quieter side of the park. After soaking in nature, let’s return to culture with a visit to Mauritius’s living history.

Location: Black River

Difficulty: Low

Domaine des Aubineaux

For travellers looking to add a touch of history to their holidays to Mauritius, Domaine des Aubineaux offers a quiet change of pace. This colonial-era house feels like stepping into another time. Walk through rooms filled with creaking floorboards and old photographs, then explore the gardens where tea leaves dry in the sun. Afterwards, settle in the old tea room for a pot of fresh local brew paired with homemade cakes. You won’t find beaches here, but you will find stories and perhaps a new favourite spot for afternoon tea. As we approach the end of our journey, let’s discover one last hidden beach beloved by locals.

Location: Curepipe (Forest Side)

Level of difficulty: None

Pointe d’Esny

Holidays to Mauritius often involve finding the perfect beach. For many locals, that beach is Pointe d’Esny. Not because it’s famous, but because it isn’t. This stretch of coast near Mahébourg feels more like a quiet village shore than a tourist hotspot. You won’t find hotel bars or sunloungers here, just small holiday homes, fishing boats and water so clear you can count the shells under your feet. Swim, snorkel or simply drift. At Pointe d’Esny, there’s nothing to rush for. It’s the kind of place where Mauritius lets its natural beauty speak quietly for itself.

Location: Southeast coast of Mauritius

Level of difficulty: None

Why the Quiet Places Matter on Your Holidays to Mauritius

Planning your holidays to Mauritius means choosing where to spend your days. While popular spots have their place, some of the island’s most memorable moments happen in the places few people mention. A quiet jetty in a fishing village. A waterfall hidden behind forest paths. A beach without sunbeds, but full of local life. So, if you’re ready to see a different side of Mauritius, step off the usual path. You might just find your favourite place isn’t in the guidebooks at all.

Plan your Holidays to Mauritius with Heritage Resorts

If you’re dreaming of holidays to Mauritius that feel authentic yet effortlessly comfortable, Heritage Resorts might just be what you’re looking for. It’s about long afternoons spent between the beach and the nearby nature reserves. And when evening comes, it’s dinner under old trees where recipes carry the warmth of generations. Heritage Resorts doesn’t try to reinvent Mauritius, it lets you experience the island as it should be. Quiet, genuine, and easy to love.

At Heritage Resorts, your golf holiday is all-inclusive from the moment you arrive.

Play at One of the Indian Ocean’s Best Courses: Heritage Golf Club

At Heritage Golf Club, golf feels part of the island itself. Two courses stretch between the hills and the lagoon, with long fairways and views that change at every hole. You can play at your own pace, with space to focus on the game or simply enjoy the scenery. Many guests spend a good part of their stay here, moving easily between rounds and time at the resort. For anyone who enjoys the game, this is one of the most memorable places to play during holidays in Mauritius.

La Réserve Golf Links in Mauritius

La Réserve Golf Links offers a very different playing experience. Built on old sugarcane fields, it’s the first contemporary links course in the Indian Ocean. There are no buildings nearby, just sky, hills and sea. Designed to challenge more experienced players, it rewards focus and careful shots. For guests on the premium all-inclusive package, a round here is included for every week of your stay. It’s a course that makes you slow down and take in your surroundings between swings.

Le Château Golf Course

Le Château Golf Course offers a more traditional golf experience.Set among old trees and sugarcane fields, its fairways feel open and welcoming. The course suits all levels, even if you’re confident with your game or just enjoy a casual round. The views shift from green hills to glimpses of the lagoon as you move from hole to hole. Unlimited rounds at Le Château are included in both golf holiday packages, making it easy to play as much or as little as you like during your stay.

What to Do OFF the Course During Your Golf Holidays

There’s more to a golf holiday than time on the course. At Heritage Awali, the spaces between rounds matter just as much. After a morning game, guests often head to the spa, relax by the pool or take a quiet walk along the beach. You can fill your days with activities or slow them right down. The choice is yours.

Spa Experiences in Mauritius: Seven Colours Spa

Golf may be the headline, but what happens after 18 holes matters too. Seven Colours Spa at Heritage Awali is a calm space where time slows down. Each treatment is designed to reflect your mood and energy. Choose a Mauritian-inspired massage or a shoulder treatment tailored to ease tension after long drives and tricky putts. It’s not about pampering for the sake of it, but real relaxation that fits seamlessly into your all-inclusive golf holiday.

There’s also a hammam, a vitality pool and private spaces for couples or solo guests looking for some quiet after the course. You can start your day with a massage or wind down before dinner, this spa is a key part of why holidays in Mauritius can feel so restorative.

Quiet Spaces to Recharge During Your Golf Holiday

Some afternoons are best kept simple. A lounger in the shade, something cold in hand and no need to check the time. The adults-only pool at Heritage Awali offers exactly that: quiet corners, attentive service and a sense that this part of your day is entirely your own. Just beyond, the beach stretches out with soft sand and calm water. It’s easy to spend hours here, doing very little and enjoying every second of it. This is the other side of all-inclusive golf holidays, the part with no schedule, just space to slow down between rounds.

Outdoor Activities and Water Sports in Mauritius

If stillness isn’t your style, there’s plenty to keep you moving. Try paddling out on a kayak, gliding across the lagoon in an electric boat or snorkelling along the shoreline where reef fish appear just beneath the surface.

On land, mornings often begin with yoga by the beach or a quiet session in the gym. Group classes, guided sessions or solo stretches, there’s space for it all. These moments bring a welcome rhythm to your day. You might start fresh before a round or wind down once it’s done. Golf holidays in Mauritius aren’t only about the fairways, they’re also about how you enjoy the time between games.

Dining & Entertainment that’s Included

Mauritius takes food seriously and so does Heritage Awali. Here, the Mauritius dishes are part of the pleasure. Mornings begin with the scent of fresh bread, tropical fruit and the soft clink of cutlery under open skies. By lunchtime, you’ve got choices, perhaps grilled fish at Infinity Blue, a casual plate at the Golf Club or something light and easy by the pool.

Evenings are when the resort really comes to life. Music drifts from the bar, sometimes soft and acoustic, sometimes bold enough to get feet tapping. You’ll find tables set beneath palms, menus that shift from Indian spices to local favourites. Wherever you are, the drinks keep pace: rum on the rocks, chilled rosé, or just a fresh coconut in hand.

Golf Holidays: Which Package Suits You Best?

Two ways to stay, both with plenty to enjoy. It just depends on how you like to play.

Romance has nothing to do with the grand gestures we admire so much in the movies, but it does lie in the little things we do every day. If you’re planning a romantic getaway, comfort and intimacy are essential to maintain that little spark that makes all the difference.

Today, couples would rather spend time together in a private villa in Mauritius than in a hotel room. A place where they can enjoy the simple pleasure of being together, spend precious moments without any distractions or even screens. 

In the south of the island, Heritage The Villas offers something special: elegant five-star villas that combine privacy with the comforts of a luxury resort. For a honeymoon, an anniversary, or to escape the routine, this is where moments of intimacy happen.

What Makes a Private Villa the Best Choice for a Romantic Retreat

A villa is a place that’s accessible to you and your partner. Unlike hotels, where other residents use the swimming pool, restaurants, and other communal areas, a private villa gives you a certain amount of freedom. You have a swimming pool and terraces where you can lie back and enjoy the sun. You can stroll around the gardens and take in the natural surroundings. You can even start your mornings at your convenience, with no schedules or interruptions.

When it comes to meals, the choice is yours: formal or casual, indoors or out. Behind the scenes, a team is ready to step in at any time, offering discreet service that enhances your experience without intruding on the time you spend together. Once you opt for a beautiful villa in Mauritius, you’ll be stunned by the view at every sunrise and sunset. A setting that encourages relaxation and unforgettable moments. Dance in the moonlight without worrying about anyone watching, exchange love notes, organise a candlelit dinner or an open-air cinema night, and let the magic happen.

Stay at Heritage The Villas: A Romantic Private Escape

Steeped in modernity, Heritage The Villas is renowned not only for its style and design but also for the beauty of its surroundings. Located within the Heritage Bel Ombre estate, these five-star villas provide couples with an experience that is both exclusive and welcoming. These luxury villas in Mauritius have two, three or even four bedrooms, with extensive windows frame ocean views and private pools. Enjoy all the space you need to get together and have fun.

With light colours and a seaside style, the rooms are pleasant, comfortable and bright. In other words, it’s the perfect home for summer lovers. Booking is simple, and once you arrive, attentive staff ensure everything flows smoothly, always present yet never intrusive. Heritage The Villas lets you feel at home, without sacrificing the details that make a five-star stay memorable.

Dining Experiences: A Top-Class Villa Service in Mauritius

One of the greatest proofs of love can be hidden in a dish. Cooking for your partner is a form of attention that touches even the most hardened of hearts. It’s essential to please your other half, and at Heritage The Villas, you have a lovely kitchen at your disposal where you can prepare tasty meals for your significant other. It also allows you to experiment with the fresh produce you’ll find in the local markets. On other evenings, you can also take advantage of the skills of a private chef to prepare exquisite dishes inspired by Mauritian cuisine, served carefully on your terrace. An additional option is unlimited access to all Heritage Resorts restaurants, including Le Château Bel Ombre. For a complete experience, you can try it all!

Couple’s spa treatments in your Private Villa in Mauritius

There’s something special about having your massage therapist come to you. No need to step out, no schedule to follow, no waiting in spa lounges. Instead, your villa becomes your private wellness space. You can roll straight from your bed to the massage table. You can enjoy treatments at your own pace and drift into total relaxation without ever leaving your personal retreat. It’s quiet, comfortable and tailored entirely around you, making every session feel effortless and intimate.

A Unique Golf Experience at your Doorstep

Wake up, step outside and jump on a golfing adventure like no other. Staying at a championship golf course means there’s no commute, no waiting, no rushing. You can grab your cart and go. From a sunrise tee shot to a casual game before dinner, the course is yours to enjoy at your own pace. You can play as much as you like, knowing your villa is just minutes away for an afternoon nap.

Wine tasting from Your Villa in Mauritius

Who says you need to dress up to enjoy good wine? Private tastings can be arranged right in your villa, letting you sip and explore in total comfort. A sommelier will come to you with a curated selection from the resort’s cellar. They’ll guide you through each bottle without the fuss of formal tastings. You’ll share stories, discover new favourites and enjoy the easy pleasure of good wine and quiet conversation, all without leaving your private space. Perfect for a romantic evening, just the two of you.

A Wonderful Love Story in Mauritius

Heritage The Villas makes it easy to create romantic moments that feel natural, not staged. The privacy of your villa sets the tone for a stay focused entirely on each other. There is no limit here; you can explore the island hand in hand or enjoy each other’s company out of sight. Whatever adventures you wish to have are based on your preferences. The most important thing is to make each moment a personal and meaningful experience. After all, romance is also about being spontaneous, don’t you agree?

Private Beach Picnics or Sunset Cruises

A sunset with a picnic is always a pleasure! Heritage The Villas organises this event just as you imagine it, with a few extras, of course! Surrounded by a charming setting and delicious Mauritian dishes, with candles or electric garlands for a more romantic atmosphere, you can make this moment exceptional.

For couples who prefer something a little more out of the ordinary, a sunset cruise may be the perfect choice. You’ll enjoy the same peace and privacy, lulled by the waves and the bubbles of your champagne. These aren’t generic excursions, they’re private, carefully prepared experiences that let you reconnect without distractions.

Romantic Evenings from Your Villa’s Garden or Pool

We sometimes hear that everything is better at night. Perhaps it’s true after all. The sky may be darker, but it has an exhilarating, authentic and pure aspect. You can see the countless stars that were previously hidden by floating clouds. From your garden or the edge of your pool, you can watch the constellations drift overhead, with a little blanket to shelter you from the gentle wind. Sitting side by side under a starry sky, where the world feels far away, just chatting, laughing and teasing each other, is one of the purest moments that strengthens the bond between two kindred spirits.

Romantic Add-ons from your villa in Mauritius

Romance is often found in thoughtful details. Heritage The Villas offers couples special touches that turn ordinary evenings into lasting memories. Flower arrangements, chilled champagne, and a candlelit dinner served on your private terrace can all be arranged easily. These aren’t scripted experiences; they’re gentle surprises that remind you both that this romantic retreat is about celebrating each other.

From Meaningful Days to Intimate Nights

However, you shouldn’t overlook the wonderful things you can do on your romantic getaway to Mauritius. After all, this island is a fascinating destination well worth exploring.

Heritage The Villas offers the ideal base for striking this balance, providing you with freedom during the day and comfort at night. Together, you’ll experience the island’s beauty before returning to your villa, where privacy and calm are always waiting.

Romantic Adventures in the Wild South of Mauritius

Set out in your hire car and explore Mauritius together at your own pace. Drive coastal roads where the sea sparkles beside you. Stop at viewpoints like Macondé, where the cliffs drop steeply to the ocean. Visit waterfalls hidden within rainforest paths, where the air smells fresh and cool. The south of Mauritius remains unspoilt and quieter than the north, giving you a sense of discovery without crowds. Every turn becomes a shared discovery, every stop a precious memory.

Best Experiences for Active Couples

If lazy days aren’t your style, Mauritius has plenty to keep you moving. Fly through the forests on a zip line or take a quad bike along the dirt tracks that stretch across the sugar cane fields. You can join a guided hike to find the best viewpoints or head off on your own and see where the path takes you. It’s less about the adrenaline and more about discovering something new together. When the day winds down, there’s nothing better than heading back to your villa, kicking off your shoes and swapping stories over a cold drink on the terrace.

The Perfect Reward after a Full Day of Activities

There’s something special about returning to your villa after a day out. Shoes can be kicked off by the door, bathing suits hung to dry and a private swim enjoyed before dinner. There’s no need to dress up or join other guests. Instead, evenings are shaped around your pace. Whether you dine in, order room service or relax with a glass of wine, the villa becomes your retreat—a quiet, luxurious space to unwind together.

Book your Private Villa in Mauritius

Heritage The Villas makes your romantic retreat effortless, blending privacy, luxury and personalised service in one of Mauritius’ most peaceful regions. Every moment is shaped around you, from sunrise swims to candlelit dinners on your terrace. With a private five-star villa as your base, each day feels yours alone. Even if you choose adventure, relaxation or quiet evenings under the stars, our villas in Mauritius create a setting where intimacy thrives and memories are made without effort. But something tells us that you’re going to savour the moment!
