Melanie Brown, the iconic former Spice Girl known as Mel B, has delighted her followers by sharing intimate glimpses into her romantic honeymoon escape to Mauritius with husband Rory McPhee. The couple, who exchanged vows six months ago, are currently indulging in a lavish stay at the prestigious Shangri-La Le Touessrok resort, where nightly rates begin at an impressive £500.
A Luxurious Tropical Retreat
The five-star Shangri-La Le Touessrok resort provides the perfect backdrop for the newlyweds' getaway, offering an array of premium amenities. Guests can enjoy fine dining experiences, pristine beautiful beaches, a variety of water and land-based activities, and a serene spa for ultimate relaxation. This idyllic setting has allowed Mel B and Rory to fully immerse themselves in their post-wedding bliss.
Cheeky Beach Moments and Romantic Displays
In a series of playful social media posts, Mel B turned heads by flaunting her figure in a blue thong bikini, opting for a topless sunbathing session on a beach lounger that showcased her peachy derriere. The loved-up couple's chemistry was further highlighted in a playful video clip where Rory was seen giving his wife's bottom a cheeky grab as they soaked up the tropical sun together.
The singer also treated fans to a sweet selfie with her husband as they prepared for an evening out, followed by another romantic clip capturing the pair sharing a passionate kiss over a intimate dinner. These candid moments provide a genuine insight into their affectionate relationship.
Action-Packed Adventures and Vibrant Personality
Beyond the relaxation, the honeymoon appears to have been filled with exciting activities. The adventurous couple engaged in various watersports, including paddleboarding where Mel B showcased her incredible physique in a skimpy olive green bandeau bikini while balancing on the board. Rory was later spotted making a bold dive from a boat into the crystal-clear Mauritian waters.
In another sizzling snapshot, the singer donned a daring leopard-print bikini while posing gracefully on a catamaran. Mel B also revealed her fun-loving personality through images of her larking about on the beach, captured mid-air in a leopard-print bandeau top paired with zebra-print thong bottoms.
Emotional Wedding Background
Sharing her honeymoon experiences on Instagram, Mel B captioned her post with heartfelt enthusiasm: 'FINALLY!!!!we Disappeared for January and got lost In each other at a Mauritian magical heaven for our long LONG awaited honeymoon ❤️ @shangrilamauritius.'
The couple's journey to this point began with two wedding ceremonies last year. They first exchanged vows at St Paul's Cathedral in London, followed by an emotional outdoor ceremony in the exotic surroundings of Marrakesh just weeks later. Speaking to HELLO! Magazine about her special day, Mel revealed that both she and Rory broke down in happy tears during the ceremony, which was attended by guests including her Spice Girls bandmate Mel C.
Family played a central role in the celebrations, with Mel's children taking on significant supporting roles. Her eldest daughter Phoenix, 26, had the honour of walking her down the aisle, while middle child Angel, 18, served as one of Rory's groomsmen. Youngest daughter Madison, 13, fulfilled bridesmaid duties, making the occasion a true family affair.
Stunning Fashion and Unforgettable Moments
For her Marrakesh ceremony, Mel B made a dramatic fashion statement in a stunning sheer red Justin Alexander gown. The exquisite dress featured a daring thigh split and was hand-beaded with red crystals and bugle beads, requiring more than 850 hours of work by six skilled artisans. Supplied by Caroline Black from London-based Evelie Bridal, the gown was complemented by a Moroccan-inspired cathedral veil accented with matching red crystals.
Explaining her bold colour choice, Mel said she wanted to wear red as an ode to Moroccan culture, describing her desired appearance as 'a floating mermaid – a fiery red passionate one – gliding in ruby diamonds.' She added that 'Morocco has that very red va-va-voom – it's passionate and spiritual.'
The celebration reached another memorable peak when Mel B and Mel C treated guests to an impromptu rendition of the Spice Girls hit 'Holler' on the dance floor. Sporty Spice had been unable to attend the London ceremony but made sure to jet to Marrakech for the second wedding, creating a special moment between the longtime friends and bandmates.
Reflecting on having Mel C present, Mel B shared: 'It was great to have my fellow northerner Mel C there. We had the best time together and totally forgot ourselves, and went crazy when Holler came on. We've grown up together, all my family love her and to share that weekend with her and her lovely partner Chris was so special.'
The Mauritius honeymoon represents the culmination of this romantic journey for the couple, who continue to share their joy with fans through these personal glimpses into their tropical paradise getaway.
