The Best Hotels in Mauritius

A little paradise in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is often cited as one of travelers’ most dreamt-of destinations. A golf course overlooking the bay, an open-air spa, a restaurant on stilts… All nestled among the mangroves, with your feet in the white sand. Here is our selection of the best Hotels in Mauritius. 

Constance Prince Maurice

A jewel of the northeast coast, the Constance Prince Maurice is nestled within 60 hectares of tropical greenery, between lush mangroves and white-sand beaches that are wilder and more secluded than anywhere else in this Indian Ocean paradise. Peace, relaxation, and romance reign supreme in an atmosphere designed by architect Jean-Marc Eynaud. In addition to the private beach, two large swimming pools—one of which is set in a coconut grove—invite guests to alternate between napping, reading, and taking a refreshing dip. The spa—featuring Sisley treatments, a sauna, a hammam, a cold-water pool, and a thermal pool—is also located outdoors in an exotic garden. Here, everything evokes the country’s natural environment: buildings made of natural wood, thatched roofs, terraces opening onto the sea… The’5-star hotel in Mauritius features 76 suites—some of which are built on stilts—and 13 ultra-luxurious villas. On the culinary front, three distinct dining venues offer a variety of cuisines, ranging from Mauritian dishes at the Archipel to seafood at the Barachois (a restaurant on pontoons over the water—the only one of its kind on the island)—as well as an Asian restaurant. The resort also boasts a wine cellar housing approximately 25,000 bottles. To extend the evening, three bars are available, including the Laguna Bar, designed as a central hub for enjoyment within the resort. The best part? The Constance Prince Maurice offers access to two international 18-hole golf courses, The Legend and The Links, located less than 5 minutes away.

Long Beach, Mauritius

On the east coast of Mauritius, on the expansive Belle Mare beach, Long Beach Mauritius is set on a 60-hectare estate planted with nearly 5,000 trees and palm trees, featuring a beach that stretches for more than a kilometer. The architecture stands in stark contrast to the island’s traditional colonial style: contemporary lines, volcanic stone, and exotic wood come together to create a bright, minimalist setting designed to blend seamlessly with nature. At the heart of the 255-room resort, a large central piazza brings together the resort’s social spaces and dining experiences. Gastronomy is indeed one of Long Beach’s highlights, with five restaurants that invite guests on a true culinary journey. Le Marché, the main restaurant, offers extensive international buffets featuring live cooking stations. Italian, Japanese, and Chinese flavors take center stage at the other dining venues, as do fresh fish and seafood with ocean views. The Glow Spa, the kids’ club, water sports, and exclusive access to the Île aux Cerfs golf course set the pace for each day, which often ends with a cocktail while your feet are in the sand. An ideal hotel for a Honeymoon in Mauritius.

La Maison 20 Degrés Sud 

In northern Mauritius, on the peaceful shores of the Grand Baie lagoon, La Maison 20 degrés Sud is the quintessential hidden gem and intimate retreat, reserved exclusively for adults. This boutique hotel Relais & Châteaux, the only one on the island, reveals itself behind an imposing oak door, like an elegant colonial mansion hidden in a tropical garden. With a honeymoon-like vibe, the atmosphere is romantic and intimate: the hotel has only 36 rooms and suites, as well as one villa, all tastefully decorated in a style that blends colonial influences, fine woods, and delicate textiles. Some offer views of the turquoise lagoon, while others overlook the lush gardens surrounding the property. The architecture evokes the island’s grand Creole mansions, featuring open verandas, shingle roofs, and elegant furnishings.
