But with so many resorts across the island, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. If you're looking for a quiet Mauritius honeymoon package or romantic getaway without the family-resort buzz, Solana Beach could be your match.

This four-star adults-only resort in Belle Mare overlooks one of Mauritius’ most serene lagoon stretches and ranks among the best adults-only Mauritius resorts for couples wanting proper downtime. If you'd like to compare similar options before deciding, browse more Mauritius holiday packages to get a feel for the island.

Why South Africans Choose Solana Beach

One of the biggest advantages is how easy Mauritius is to access from SA. Flights take under four hours, and SA passport holders enter visa-free. But that’s true for many resorts across the island, so why Solana specifically?

Solana Beach’s adults-only policy immediately sets the tone for a quiet, restful stay. If you’re not parents yourselves or simply want a break somewhere calmer and more grown up, the atmosphere here makes a world of difference.

Most travellers choose the half-board option, which includes breakfast and dinner daily. You can also bundle return flights and transfers through Flight Centre, giving you an effortless Mauritius holiday package from take-off to landing. It’s ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries or spontaneous island escapes.

What Else Is There To Love?

Let’s talk about the views! The rooms are modern, light-filled and positioned for maximum lagoon views. The Superior Sea View Rooms feel especially romantic, giving you sunrise over the Indian Ocean from your balcony. But even if you don’t snag one of them, the rest of the resort maximises its beachfront position at every opportunity.

The Ylang Wellness Spa is another favourite. There’s all the usual: back massages, facials, steam sessions, and more. Plus, some time in the Turkish bath help you settle fully into island mode.

If you prefer to keep active, Solana offers plenty: sunrise boat outings, snorkelling, kayaking, stand-up paddling, tennis, yoga sessions and guided activities on land and water.

Dining is a highlight too. Breakfast happens just steps from the beach, while half-board dinners rotate through Mauritian dishes, themed nights and international favourites. For a romantic upgrade, book a private beachfront dinner. It’s one of the most popular options for couples.

What Resort Amenities Are There?

Solana Beach delivers everything you expect from a modern Mauritius escape, and then some.

The large outdoor pool is a popular afternoon hangout, and the private beach area has loungers, umbrellas and calm water ideal for snorkelling.

The wellness area includes a spa, steam room, sauna, Turkish bath and beauty salon. Tennis courts, yoga classes, a fitness room and on-site restaurants and bars round out the offering.

A concierge team can arrange day tours, boat trips or car rentals, and multilingual staff keep everything smooth from check-in onwards. If you’re planning an intentional switch-off holiday, the resort has a small gift shop, laundry service and everything you need to settle in comfortably.

What Is There to Do on the East Coast?

Mauritius’ east coast is known for its quiet lagoons, soft beaches and gentle atmosphere. Solana Beach sits right on Belle Mare, one of the most celebrated stretches of coastline on the island. The calm, clear water is ideal for swimming and snorkelling, and the beach remains beautifully unspoilt.

A little further along, Île aux Cerfs is the island’s hotspot for water sports, boat trips and its world-famous golf course. Spending a full day here is a classic east coast outing.

For something more local, visit Flacq Market for spices, woven baskets and Mauritian street snacks. It’s busy, colourful and a great way to experience the island beyond the resort.

Black River Gorges National Park offers hiking trails, waterfalls and wildlife. It’s a scenic drive from Solana Beach but worth it if you want to see another side to Mauritius, and not just beaches. For more ideas on what to explore, you can check our Mauritius travel guide.
