There are beach holidays, and then there are the kind of escapes that seem designed entirely around the idea of spending time together. The sort where your biggest decision is whether to order another cocktail, book another spa treatment, or stay exactly where you are and watch the sun sink into the sea.
On the sheltered north-west coast of Mauritius, overlooking the calm waters of Turtle Bay, Le Jadis Beach Resort & Wellness offers precisely that kind of experience. Part of the Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts collection, this intimate five-star retreat feels worlds away from the bustle of everyday life. Designed with couples in mind, it combines beachfront tranquillity with thoughtful luxury, creating a setting where romance comes naturally.

Oceanfront luxury pool suite at Le Jadis
Accommodation is a major part of the appeal. The resort’s spacious suites are more than just places to sleep. Many feature private heated pools, jet pools, stone bathtubs and traditional hammams, transforming each suite into a secluded sanctuary. Mornings might begin with a floating breakfast delivered directly to your pool, while evenings are spent soaking in warm water as the sky turns shades of pink, orange and gold.
Of course, doing very little is actively encouraged here. Days can be filled with leisurely walks along the beach, paddleboarding across the lagoon or simply finding a comfortable spot beside the water and settling in with a good book. For those seeking a little more restoration, the resort’s award-winning Spa & Wellness centre offers couples’ treatments, while yoga and meditation sessions bring an added sense of calm to the island setting.
Passion Creole restaurant and swim-up bar
When it comes to dining, Le Jadis strikes a balance between elegance and intimacy. Restaurants showcase international flavours and fresh local ingredients, while private beachfront dinners offer the chance to dine beneath the stars with little more than the sound of the ocean for company. The resort also specialises in celebrating life’s landmark moments. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, marking a significant anniversary or simply escaping together for a few days, a range of bespoke experiences and romantic touches help turn a holiday into something memorable.
As the sun disappears beyond Turtle Bay and another warm evening settles over the Indian Ocean, it’s easy to see the appeal. At Le Jadis Beach Resort & Wellness, romance isn’t reserved for special occasions. It’s woven into every day.
