Beach Dinner on Paradise

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!

-         Long Beach Mauritius

Special Friday Sega Shows: Lobster BBQ and Seafood buffet 

If you wish for a charming beach dinner accompanied with an entertaining Sega show—the typical Mauritian Sega—bonfire, and an exquisite lobster BBQ and seafood open buffet, Long Beach Mauritius Hotel offers you a unique opportunity to make your dreams come true at its exclusive seafood restaurant, the Tides Restaurant, every Friday. Depending upon seasons, you can expect to have: octopus, shrimp, marlin, Sacrechien, lobster, dorado, tuna, calmari and so much more!

-         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 right place for you. The pirates and creoles have both been two different 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 with chicken, lamb meat, fish, and/ or beef, accompanied with soups, salads and desserts. The Creoles Night will introduce you to different dishes including octopus, fish, beef, chicken, seafood and many more.

Every Tuesday, Le Preskil organizes its special BBQ menu on its beautiful turquoise beach with a trio music band to liven up the beach atmosphere. For the open buffet menu you can find chicken, beef, sausages, giant prawns, marlin and other seafood accompanied by salads and other dressings.

Good beach, good food and good music – enjoy the good evening!

-         Intercontinental Hotel, Balaclava

Wednesdays and Saturdays: Special themed beach dinners 

The white sand at Intercontinental is a splendor; the blue turquoise lagoon looks like gems; the sunset is fire. Everything you need for enduring romance is there.

-         Hotel Le Bougainville

Le Bougainville usually offers the beach dinner upon request with 3 menus to choose from: lobster menu, giant prawns menu and a special menu (as per your taste) for special occasions such as wedding anniversaries and honeymoons. 

Generally, the lobster menu is offered on a routine basis on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 

The good thing about Le Bougainville is 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 to grab the typical romantic experience; it is usually not crowded and situated on the northwest coast, so you can have a marvelous view of the sun setting. Usually, an à la carte menu is offered but you can also choose from the set seafood menu and chicken menu. 

-         Maritim Hotel, Balaclava

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.

Dinners are organized on request with an 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.
