The Most Beautiful Hotels in Mauritius

You may have noticed: after Dubai, Mauritius is the new hotspot for influencers. The island, with its laid-back lifestyle, eternal sunshine, and dream beaches, embodies the essence of tropical escape. Between lavish luxury and tropical cool vibes, here’s a focus on our favorite places to chill under the tropical sun.

A hidden haven nestled on the North-East coast, Constance Prince Maurice sprawls across 60 hectares of lavish luxury in the middle of nature. On the sea side, a private lagoon with crystal-clear waters is just steps away from a marine reserve, perfect for snorkeling. On land, high-end suites and villas, some with thatched roofs and others on stilts or with private pools, offer direct access to the sea. The décor blends precious wood touches with textiles featuring tropical prints—pure wonder.

In the three restaurants, you can enjoy international, local, and Asian cuisine, along with a wine cellar housing 25,000 bottles (the largest in the Indian Ocean!)—a promise of great culinary discoveries. A Sisley spa takes care of the wellness part. Golf, anyone? Two 18-hole courses are available for enthusiasts nearby. The cherry on top: a floating seafood restaurant for dining while watching the fish swim beneath your feet.

Heading to the South of the island, where one of the most beautiful hotels in Mauritius hides within a breathtaking 2,500-hectare estate. Nestled in the Bel Ombre sanctuary, this five-star gem owes its name to Charles Telfair, an Irish naturalist who fell in love with the island in the 19th century. And it's easy to understand why. The 158 suites, ranging from 62 to 104 m², are spread across twenty colonial-style villas. Everywhere, white wood, blooming bougainvilleas, and hibiscus flowers.
The pool? A mirror facing the lagoon. You can already imagine diving into the turquoise waters and grabbing a cocktail at the pool bar. A luxurious spa and two golf courses complete this dream experience. For foodies, it's paradise. Seven restaurants and bars offer a variety of delights, from Creole flavors to finger food you can enjoy with your feet in the sand.
And that’s not all. In addition to its beauty, the resort is eco-friendly. With the "Now For Tomorrow" program, every stay is carbon-neutral. Chic and green: we love it.

In a coconut grove by the water on the Grand Baie lagoon, this charming boutique hotel is a dream destination for travelers seeking privacy. Far from the massive resorts, this colonial-style house hosts just 29 rooms and 7 suites overlooking the lagoon or the lush garden. Wow: the “secret suite” in duplex, with its totally secluded terrace and stunning private pool that’s calling our name.

The three restaurants offer fusion cuisine, but the ultimate experience is dining aboard the M/S Lady Lisbeth, an old wooden and brass motorboat, for a starlit cruise on the calm waters of the bay.

While in Mauritius, Grand Baie is a must. This former fishing village has become the trendiest seaside resort on the island. At the market, you can shop for local products and stylish souvenirs. Nearby, the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden is home to many rare species. Grand Baie is also the starting point for excursions to neighboring islands like Île aux Cerfs, a paradise on earth.

A pioneer in charming hotels established in the 1980s, Veranda Grand Baie underwent a complete renovation in 2021. The result is stunning! We love the Creole-chic vibe that celebrates the island lifestyle.
The dream agenda: relaxing in the 25-meter infinity pool with a lagoon view, savoring Mauritian specialties in one of the two restaurants, enjoying a massage at the spa... Why not a beach volleyball game on the golden sand?
The 95 rooms and apartments are nestled in typical villas with tin roofs and wooden shutters. The décor, featuring rattan, raffia, and pastel hues, is right on trend. Gorgeous!

Nestled in Trou d'Eau Douce Bay, near Île aux Cerfs, the prestigious Shangri-La Touessrock Resort & Spa is a legend in luxury hospitality. It’s hard to beat its six paradisiacal beaches, two pools—one reserved for adults, an 18-hole golf course, and a wide range of restaurants, bars, and activities, including a stunning spa. The ultimate happiness: the hotel is the only one with a private island, Îlot Mangénie, reserved exclusively for its guests. A true model of its kind, the palace combines legendary Asian hospitality with Mauritius' chic and relaxed lifestyle.

Currently under renovation, it’s scheduled to reopen in October 2024. Touessrok was already one of the island’s most beautiful addresses, and it promises to return even more dazzling with modernized facilities while maintaining the high standards that made it famous.
