Anelia Resort & Spa

Where the West Coast light does all the talking

Anelia Resort & Spa sits at the heart of Flic en Flac — one of Mauritius' most beloved stretches of West Coast coastline, where the beach is wide, the lagoon is clear, and the sunsets are among the most celebrated on the island. For couples who want photographs that capture not just their faces but the full atmosphere of where they chose to be, this is a property that gives a photographer extraordinary material to work with.

I have been photographing couples, honeymooners, and wedding parties across the West Coast for over 15 years. At Anelia, I know precisely where the light catches the water in those final 30 minutes before sunset, how to use the resort's authentic architecture for depth without distraction, and when to move you from the gardens to the beach to close the session with the most cinematic frames of the day. The result is not a collection of holiday photographs — it is a visual record of a specific moment in your life, told with intention.

Whether you are here for a honeymoon, a beach wedding, a proposal, or simply a few days together in Mauritius — a session at Anelia Resort is one you will return to for the rest of your life.

Where we shoot — six exceptional settings

Anelia Resort & Spa offers striking visual variety within a single property. Here is what I look for when I work here with you.

• Flic en Flac Beachfront

  The wide, reef-protected beach directly in front of the resort turns extraordinary at golden hour. The calm lagoon reflects the setting sun and becomes your most powerful backdrop of the session.

• Pool Terrace & Horizon

  The resort's pool area offers the signature horizon-meets-water composition that works brilliantly for editorial-style and graphic framing, especially in the last light of the afternoon.

• Tropical Gardens & Pathways

  Lush West Coast gardens provide dappled, directional light throughout the day — ideal for intimate close-up portraits and movement sequences regardless of what the sky is doing.

• Lagoon Shallows

  Wading into the warm, shallow lagoon creates a sense of immersion and freedom that no other setting can replicate. Water at ankle or knee height, golden light above — these are the frames couples treasure most.

• Resort Architecture

  Anelia's authentic character is reflected in its textures and design. Walls, archways, and structural details add depth and a sense of place without competing with you as the subject.

• West Coast Sunset

  The West Coast delivers Mauritius' most celebrated sunsets. Shooting directly into this light — sky ablaze, water reflecting colour — produces the kind of cinematic finale that defines the whole session.

Bilaal Sadeer — Mauritius wedding & honeymoon photographer

I was born in Mauritius and have spent 15 years photographing the moments that matter most to couples who choose this island for one of the most significant chapters of their lives. I work across the island — from the east coast at Belle Mare to the north at Grand Baie and the south at Le Morne — and I bring the same philosophy wherever I go: your story, your light, your way.

My approach is cinematic and documentary. I observe, anticipate, and create within real moments rather than manufacturing artificial ones. When we work together at Anelia Resort & Spa, I arrive before you, walk the property in the exact light conditions of your session, and have a precise vision for the story I want to tell before you step in front of my lens.

The photographs you see in this gallery are real sessions — unretouched in spirit — with natural light and genuine emotion at their core.
