Best Hotels In Mauritius


One&Only Le Saint Geran

ne of Mauritius’ most iconic and distinguished addresses, One&Only Saint Le Geran is perched on its own private peninsula on the island’s north east side, its sugary white sand lapped by shimmering aquamarine water. A fusion of colonial and contemporary architecture dictates the aesthetic, the historic charm retained from when the hotel first opened in the 1970s, while updated with all the necessary modcons and five-star touches you’d expect from a One&Only resort. Set amongst 60 acres of landscaped gardens, privacy reigns supreme at this Mauritian hideaway, and all guest rooms and suites offer serene lagoon or ocean views. While there might not be much nearby, the resort more than makes up for it with a myriad of activities to suit guests of all travelling styles: spot wildlife on a kayak through the mangroves, take off on a guided hike across the Tamarind Falls or take a Harley Davidson out for a spin with the resort’s general manager.


LUX* Le Morne

At LUX* Le Morne, intrepid travellers can enjoy a luxury immersion into the best of Mauritius’ offerings that extend far beyond sun-soaked days on the golden sand. Nestled at the foot of the majestic Le Morne Brabant Peak on the south-west coast of Mauritius, the 149 wooden, chalet-style suites and rooms face one the islands’ most alluring lagoons. For travellers wishing to breezily while away the day, the pristine stretch of private beach is only ever steps away. But LUX* Le Morne also caters for those with a spirit of adventure. Seeya, the resort concierge can arrange unforgettable excursions that include a morning of dolphin watching on the crystal clear waters, hiking at Le Morne Brabant, or encountering colourful birds at the Black River Gorges National Park. After a day of exploration, take a seat at The Beach, the open-air beach restaurant and indulge in freshly caught local seafood, or dine at East, serving one of Mauritius’ finest king prawn Thai curry’s. A more unique foodie experience can be enjoyed down on the beachfront, where the resort team can hand catch and prepare one of Mauritius’ special delicacies – sea urchin – for guests to enjoy fresh from the ocean.


Constance Prince Maurice

A romantic hideaway tailored to couples, Constance Prince Maurice is a blissfully peaceful escape nestled between the a lake and lagoon on the northeast coast. The resort’s natural beauty is celebrated everywhere, from the tropical gardens to villas on stilts perfectly positioned to admire the calm turquoise lagoon and secluded beaches of imipossibly white sand where guests can enjoy days of endless relaxation. Constance Prince Maurice is also home to the largest grape cellar in the Indian Ocean, and the only floating restaurant in Mauritius – the latter is a picture-perfect location for sorbet hued sunsets and freshly caught seafood set against the backdrop of the natural reserve. Like to lose yourself in a good book (or six) while you’re on holiday? Then the incredibly well-stocked library at the Constance Le Prince Maurice resort in Mauritius should prove just the literary ticket.


Four Seasons Resort Mauritius

Set amongst 64 acres on its own private lagoon, Four Seasons Resort Mauritius is an east coast escape with an abundance of attractions and activities that allow guests to do as much – or as little – as they like. For those looking to work on their swing, there’s two golf courses: an Ernie Els-designed course and Bernhard Langer signature course, plus the turqouise waters allow for an array of watersports, and resort guests also benefit from exclusive access to Ile aux Cerfs, a 10-minute speedboat shuttle across the bay where impossibly white sands and crystal clear waters await. It excels in the style stakes: every single villa and residence comes complete with its own private pool, perfect for romantic or family-friendly getaways.


Shangri-La Le Touessrok, Mauritius

On the pretty, peaceful shores of Trou d’Eau Douce, Shangri-La Le Touessrok is a long-standing luxury island escape that’s set the benchmark for five-star resorts on the island. A multi-million dollar renovation of the existing Le Touessrok resort into a Shangri-La property in 2015 saw the resort thoroughly revamped, and while many of the rooms got a contemporary upgrade, the redesigned three-bedroom villas on the beachfront are the ultimate secluded beachfront abodes. For living like an island castaway, the idyllic private island of Ilôt Mangénie is exclusively accessible for Shangri-La Le Touessrok guests for soaking up the Indian Ocean rays, or dining on piled-high seafood platters with toes in the sand. Back at the main resort, four restaurants and bars offer global cuisines in picture-perfect settings, and guests also benefit from complimentary access to a duo of 18-hole championship golf courses – Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club and Anahita Golf Club.
