Although it’s only November, it’s never too early to start planning something truly special for Valentine’s Day. This time, the date conveniently falls over a weekend, giving couples the perfect opportunity to celebrate love in a magical setting.
This Valentine’s Day or weekend, we’re focusing on Mauritius, specifically resorts of The LUX* Collective, ideal for couples seeking romance, luxury, and unforgettable moments. I’ve partnered with TLC Vacations, the exclusive South African representative for The LUX* Collective, to showcase some of the most enchanting properties the island has to offer.
LUX* Le Morne – Dramatic Romance
Set on the southwest coast, Le Morne is framed by the iconic Le Morne Brabant mountain, a dramatic backdrop for a romantic escape. Imagine watching the sun dip behind the mountain while waves glisten in the fading light, hand in hand on soft sand.
Couples can indulge in luxurious spa treatments at LUX* ME, enjoy private outdoor kiosks for two, and experience the unique Coconut Ritual — all designed to reconnect and unwind together. Elegant dining experiences and serene beaches complete the setting for a picture-perfect Valentine’s Day breakaway.
LUX* Grand Gaube – Secluded Intimacy
For those who prefer a more intimate, secluded escape, Grand Gaube is a peninsula bordered by calm coves and a turquoise lagoon. Its retro-chic design and villas with private pools make it a perfect hideaway for couples.
Here, romance is in every detail: private terraces overlooking serene waters, candlelit dinners under the stars, and tranquil moments designed for two. If you want a Valentine’s experience that combines style, privacy, and indulgence, Grand Gaube is unmatched.
LUX* Belle Mare – Classic Beach Luxury
On the east coast, Belle Mare offers a stretch of white sand and turquoise waters — ideal for couples who dream of strolling barefoot on the beach, sipping cocktails, and enjoying ocean-view villas with plunge pools. The resort also offers open-air cinema nights, rum and tea tastings, and spa experiences designed for relaxation and connection.
Smart Valentine’s Planning
A 5-night escape is the perfect balance of indulgence and practicality. Depart midweek (Wednesday) and return Sunday, ready for the new week, or depart Thursday and stretch the weekend by returning Monday. Either way, you only need 2–3 days away from work — a smart and romantic way to maximize your getaway…
Love deserves a little extra planning — and a lot of luxury. Partnered with TLC Vacations, these LUX* properties promise a Valentine’s weekend that couples will remember forever.
