10 Best Wedding Photo Locations in Mauritius

Mauritius is compact — you can drive from the north tip to the wild south coast in under two hours — but the island packs an extraordinary range of backdrops. As a wedding photographer based here, I have shot in lagoons, mountains, sugar-cane fields, colonial gardens, and hidden coves. Here are the ten locations that consistently deliver magic.

1. Le Morne

The UNESCO-listed peak rising behind a wide white-sand beach makes every frame look cinematic. Best at sunrise or late afternoon; drone coverage is spectacular here.

2. Grand Baie

Turquoise water, boats, and golden sunset light. Great for relaxed couple sessions and family beach portraits.

3. Belle Mare

Powdery sand and calm sunrise light. If you are staying at an east-coast resort, this is your easiest win.

4. Flic en Flac

Long beach, casuarina trees, and fiery sunsets. Perfect for silhouettes.

5. Black River / Tamarin

Rugged coastline and mountain backdrops for a more adventurous look.

6. Albion Lighthouse

A classic coastal landmark that adds instant structure to engagement shoots.

7. Pamplemousses Botanical Garden

Lush greenery, giant water lilies, and shaded paths for elegant portraits.

8. Domaine de l’Etoile

Private estate with waterfalls, forests, and panoramic views.

9. Chamarel

The coloured earth and nearby waterfall give dramatic, otherworldly frames.

10. Ile aux Cerfs

A short boat ride for turquoise shallows and postcard palms.

Permit and timing tips

Many public beaches require no permit for small couple shoots, but resort grounds and some private estates do. Always confirm access in advance, and plan around the tide and golden hour.
