1. 20 Degrees South, Mauritius

Wake up to the sounds of the Indian Ocean lapping up onto the beach in north Mauritius at this adults-only hotel. The 20 Degrees South Hotel has just been completely refurbished in 2017 and is now better than ever. The hotel offers a cosy atmosphere in a serene location.

This boutique hotel has just 35 bedrooms designed with antique decoration and is just steps away from the water’s edge. For couples looking for romance and luxury then we recommend a stay in the Austral Suites where you can be surrounded by the sea and enjoy your view from the terraces located less than 2 metres from the water.

These suites also offer a private plunge pool on the ground floor or a large Jacuzzi on the first-floor units. The 20 Degrees South hotel has three exclusive restaurants. There is a restaurant at the hotel itself, one located at an antique house from the 19th century, and the third one is aboard the M/S Lady Lisbeth, a renovated boat built in 1929.

The silent garden is a space that combines relaxation with nature. Surrounded by greenery and water, you can relax in a romantic atmosphere while enjoying all the rejuvenating treatments on offer in the garden’s spa.

2. Underwater room, Manta Resort, Pemba Island, Tanzania

Elevated and crafted along an idyllic island beach along the coast of Pemba Island is the Manta Resort which offers privacy, romance and adventure for that perfect dive holiday.

There is no better way to experience the waters surrounding the island than in the ultra-romantic underwater room. The floating structure, which was Swedish engineered, has three different levels with the lowest level allowing you the opportunity to fall asleep surrounded by the magical underwater world of the surrounding island.

The chefs at Manta Resort will treat you to a mouth-watering variety of fresh, locally caught seafood as well as other international cuisines. Take in a romantic couples spa treatment at the Kipepeo Spa for a daily treatment of your choice.

The diving around Pemba is nothing less than breathtaking. The untouched coral reef surrounding the entire island makes Pemba one of the top dive sites in the world.

5. Azura Quilalea, Northern Mozambique

Azura Quilalea is located on a private, uninhabited island off Mozambique on the African east coast. This hidden gem is a perfect romantic escape and a great place to relax and experience an African island.
