Mauritius

A luscious island escape

Mauritius is the ultimate lush, tropical island escape. Its pristine beaches of pale-blonde sand, protected by coral reefs and set against a mystical backdrop of jungly volcanic peaks, make it a classic beach destination in its own right, but it can also serve as the perfect post-safari-relaxation add-on.

The Mauritian hotels have mastered the art of first class service (not to mention virtually every form of watersport known to man), but it’s vital to match your tastes or your reason for travelling to the right resort. Our Destination Experts have explored every hotel and have invaluable advice and insights into which will be exactly right for you.

Testimonials

Stories from Mauritius

"We spent three weeks in Mauritius for our honeymoon and could not have wished for a better destination. Claire did a fantastic job organising a brilliant itinerary, ensuring the perfect combination of hotels and activities during our stay."

Jen Ferguson

"Our first stop was the Hotel 20 Degrés Sud, a fabulous hotel with an intimate, colonial feel and a relaxed vibe with a beautiful pool area. The afternoon tea everyday was a particular treat. The highlight has to be our boat trip to Governors Island – a stunning deserted island with the most incredibly blue sea. The catamaran sail to and from the island was magical, with dolphins and whales aplenty."

Jen Ferguson

The second half of our honeymoon was located in the south of the island at the Shanti Maurice resort. This was a complete contrast to the north of the island and we especially enjoyed the opportunity to have a private villa and pool. The food was spectacular and the traditional Mauritian night, enjoying local dancing and food around a bonfire on the beach with crashing waves in the background, was a memorable evening. We really enjoyed our time on this beautiful island and would love to return.
