Melt
in embraces of the warm sunset
Let
your dreams and shadows lie
Along
the foamy shores of eternity
Where
hopes and love don’t die
The immortal fusion of the sun and the
sea spells of a romance that is eternal, of a moment that is worth a lifetime.
Experience with your loved ones a dinner in paradise wrapped inside a dreamy
frame, where time no longer seems to exist.
Be barefoot so you can feel the soft, beige
crystals of the Mauritian sand gently caressing your feet. Tunes of the
melodious waves crashing on the graceful shoreline will accompany you
throughout, while the cool sea breezes will fragrance the atmosphere. Colors of
the rainbow will have dispersed into the clouds and one by one, you will
contemplate the last rays of the day’s sunshine disappearing into the horizon. The
sky will be ablaze with color: fiery orange, sunflower yellow, crimson red,
purplish pink… slowly to be replaced by the indigo of the night. Soon, stars
will wander overhead while the ocean will glow with reflections of the ivory
moon.
Delicacies offered by the best chefs
around the island will thrill your palates: Creole, Indian, French, Oriental
cuisine, seafood, Italian pastas, and so much more to discover. But on the
beach, it is not just about the food and savor… You will have reached the
destination of your life.
In almost every hotel located along the
coast, you can have a beach dinner organized on request. However, some of the
hotels do organize it on a routine basis and even though you are not a guest of
the hotel, you can benefit from this activity—but if you really want something
romantically exceptional, we strongly recommend that you liaise with the hotel
staff so they can include exactly what you want: your type of music, flowers,
champagne, candles, kiosque—you mention it, even if it’s just exclusive
privacy!
If you don’t want to go for the perfect
romanticism and prefer the party atmosphere, there are yet many options to
choose from. Here is a bit of what the hotels in
Mauritius organize as beach dinner and beach dinner parties on a routine basis:
-
Shanti Maurice Resort, Chemin Grenier
Divine beach dinner
Absolutely divine because you will feel
like the God and Goddess of love in this purely romantic setting where you can
‘meditate under the moonlight while you await your dinner’. Your private cabana
bed on the beach secluded by the flowing cotton curtains will literally cut you
out of this world, to remain solely in the company of the one you love most.
The nearby bonfire will inflame the romance.
Dinner is served on an exclusive basis—in
fact, the chef and butler will be there with you to create the courses you
prefer. You can expect an appetizing BBQ meal, served with champagne and the
dreamy serenades of a violinist.
The dinner will be concocted right in
front of you. You can expect prawns, lobster, octopus, an assortment of salads,
lamb, beef and so many more, made from the freshest ingredients. Just make your
choice!

Veranda Resorts, Palmar Beach
Special themed beach dinners on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays: Pirates Night or Creoles Night
If you are seeking to get away from the
purely romantic atmosphere and go into some excitement, then this might be the

sources of mysticism in the history of Mauritius. Even though everybody knows
their history, very few people today can actually relate to them. Veranda
Resorts, Palmar Beach gives you a not-to-miss opportunity.
Either the Pirates Night or Creoles
Night is organized every 3 days of the week, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,
depending upon existing conditions. For the Pirates Night, expect BBQ menus

desserts. The Creoles Night will introduce you to different dishes including
octopus, fish, beef, chicken, seafood and many more.

carte menu is offered. The restaurant also has two set menus which you can

la carte menu is offered with the type of entertainment that you want—and everything

that if you are on your honeymoon or celebrating your wedding anniversary as a
client of the hotel, you do not have to pay a supplement. The staff will
happily organize something special for you.

Veranda Resorts, Pointe aux Biches
Veranda Resorts might be the ideal place

on the northwest coast, so you can have a marvelous view of the sun setting.

Located at Turtle Bay, the island’s
first Marine National Park, in the North West, which is considered to be the
sunniest region of Mauritius, le Maritim will offer you a sunset that is clad
with colours. More so, hop on one of the big rocks on the beach and feel the
romance of the air and sea as you enjoy the Titanic position with your partner.

à la carte menu. The hotel staff will do their best to accommodate each of your
personal requests, including entertainment.
-
Anahita The Resort, Beau Champ GRSE
At Anahita, the food is of your choice—
‘sincerely yours’. You just have to mention what you want to eat and the staff
will make arrangements to have it on your plate, served on the pristine beach
with beacons illuminating your surrounding and rendering it more romantic. Anahita
has a reputation for elegance. The romantic experience is defined by you, so
the entertainment is catered for upon request. For honeymooners, Anahita offers
a special set menu which you can choose if you want to escape the planning and
still, enjoy the refined cuisine.
-----------
There are many other hotels and
restaurants around the coastland where you can have the beach dinner you want.
If you just want an experience (and a bit of surprises with it), then go give
it a try. But if it is for a special occasion of your life, then be sure to
inform the staff of your requirements so that they can plan for you the beach
dinner tailored out of your dreams!
Nature will weave you wonders and create
a magical evening in which you can relax intimately with your partner, or in
the friendly company of your family and friends. Take advantage of the
magnificent Mauritian sunset as backdrop and elegant restaurants onsite, and
enjoy a unique beach dining experience.
Note:
** Most of the hotels welcome outside
customers, but this is dependent on their occupancy rates. During peak hotel
seasons, hotels could be fully booked, so you might look for the independent
restaurants instead.
** Whether the beach dinner can be
organized will, of course, depend on weather conditions.
