Luxury Hotels in Mauritius: Our Top Four Picks

Mauritius is every bit as amazing as you imagine. If you picture sun, warmth, endless beach days and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel instantly at home, you are on the right track. It is one of those destinations that never leave you. The colours stay in your mind: white sand against turquoise lagoons, with green mountains rising in the distance. Add to that the island’s easy rhythm and famously warm welcome, and it is no surprise Mauritius has become a favourite for travellers looking for something special. Choosing where to stay is part of the experience, and the island is home to some truly exceptional hotels. We have picked four that stood out to us - each with its own style, setting, and way of showcasing Mauritius at its best.

Shangri-La Le Touessrok, Trou d’Eau Douce

On the east coast of Mauritius, edging the quiet bay of Trou d’Eau Douce, Shangri-La Le Touessrok feels like its own little world. The resort stretches along a wide beach that is both beautiful and secluded. Rooms and suites are bright and contemporary, most looking straight out over the lagoon. A personal recommendation would be the Frangipani Ocean View Junior Suites - they come with thoughtful extras such as private check-in, à la carte breakfasts at Coco’s, and access to an adults-only pool. The standout feature here is Ilot Mangénie, the resort’s private island. It is only a short boat ride away, yet the difference is striking: fewer people, quieter beaches and the sense of being completely away from it all. Many guests happily spend full days there, moving between sunbeds, swimming, and long, relaxed lunches by the water. Back at the resort you are never short of options. Active guests can make use of four floodlit tennis courts, kids and teens club, and a wide mix of beach sports. There are also two championship golf courses for serious players, while those wanting something more restorative can join yoga, stretching, aqua-gym or nature walks. For downtime, Chi, The Spa offers treatments in a tranquil garden setting. Eight treatment rooms, each inspired by Mauritian culture, create a calm atmosphere for massages and therapies, with Biologique Recherche skincare for a more advanced approach. Dining is varied and high quality, with five restaurants covering everything from Japanese at Kushi to fresh seafood at Republik Beach Club. Service is polished and professional, but with a natural Mauritian warmth that makes it feel less formal than some luxury resorts.
Best for: Couples and honeymooners who want privacy, golf, and a polished resort with the rare luxury of an exclusive private island.

Constance Prince Maurice, Poste de Flacq

On the northeast coast of Mauritius, Constance Prince Maurice is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and one of the island’s most discreet retreats. It is smaller than many of Mauritius’s well-known names, which makes it feel calm, intimate, and quietly exclusive. Rooms are spacious and elegant, but the most atmospheric option is the Junior Suites on Stilts, set above the natural fish reserve with views across the lagoon and mangroves. The hotel’s signature experience is Le Barachois, a floating restaurant reached by a lantern-lit pathway. With five wooden decks set over the water, it serves fresh seafood in a unique setting, surrounded by mangroves and looking out towards the mountains. It is one of the most romantic dining spots in Mauritius, and a meal here is a highlight of any stay. Wine lovers are also in good hands with their wine cellar, home to over 25,000 bottles. Guided tastings with the in-house sommelier are available for anyone who wants to explore new vintages or learn more about food pairings. Beyond that, the pace is calm. There are two championship golf courses, tennis courts, water sports and bicycles if you want them, but most people split their days between the infinity pool, the beach and the Constance Spa. Service here is polished yet low-key. This is a hotel for slowing down, eating well and enjoying one of the most tranquil corners of Mauritius.
Best for: Travellers who value peace, exclusivity, and a setting that feels truly unique.

Tamassa Bel Ombre (All-Inclusive), Bel Ombre

On the south coast of Mauritius, Tamassa Bel Ombre sits between sugarcane fields, mountains and one of the island’s most spectacular lagoons. The setting is stunning, but it is the atmosphere that makes this hotel stand out — lively, social, and designed for guests who enjoy having plenty going on. Sunsets here are some of the best on the island, and the four swimming pools lined with palms give the resort a relaxed, holiday feel. Rooms are spacious and bright, but the Beach Rooms are worth considering if you want to wake up with the sand and sea right outside your door. They are the perfect spot for soaking up those daily sunsets. The standout experience is Tamassa’s road trip and private island camping — a chance to discover the south coast, shop for ingredients with the chef, and end the day with a beach barbecue, bonfire and music under the stars. It is a playful, offbeat experience that you do not often find at an all-inclusive resort. Tamassa is also one of the most welcoming luxury family hotels in Mauritius, with the TamTam Kids Club and Studio 17 for teens, while adults can try water sports like kitesurfing, snorkelling and kayaking, or join in with aquagym, tennis, and beach volleyball. For something slower, the Santosha Mindful Wellness spa offers yoga, treatments and peaceful time in tropical gardens. Dining is flexible and fun, with restaurants and bars that keep things varied. It is relaxed all-inclusive at its best — easy, good quality, and sociable.
Best for: Families and groups who want the simplicity of all-inclusive with a lively, sociable edge.

The St. Regis Le Morne Mauritius, Le Morne Brabant

On the southwest tip of Mauritius, The St. Regis Le Morne sits at the foot of the UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant mountain, one of the island’s most striking landmarks. With colonial-inspired architecture and direct access to a long stretch of white-sand beach, the resort feels both grand and inviting. Suites are spacious and designed with calm, neutral tones, blending Mauritian craftsmanship with St. Regis refinement. Suites are spacious and calm, decorated in neutral tones with Mauritian touches, and many have private terraces or balconies looking straight out to the ocean. The Junior King Suite is a highlight, with 65 sqm of space, a marble bathroom, and outdoor seating that makes the most of the view. The standout feature here is the all-suite, all-butler service - unique in Mauritius. From unpacking your luggage to arranging personalised dining, the St. Regis Butler makes every stay feel effortless. It’s an approach to service that goes beyond luxury, offering genuine attention to detail. Beyond the suites, the resort offers something for everyone. Le Morne is a world-renowned kitesurfing spot, while the calm lagoon is perfect for snorkelling and swimming. Children are well looked after at the colourful Kite Flyers Club, and Pure Spa provides adults with a 2,000 m² wellness sanctuary, complete with 12 treatment rooms and Ayurvedic therapies. Dining is just as thoughtful, reflecting Mauritius’s diverse influences: French and Creole flavours at Le Manoir, Southeast Asian dishes at Floating Market, and modern Indian cuisine at INDYA. Evenings often end with sunset walks along the beach, the mountain silhouetted in the distance.
Best for: Travellers who want refined service and a dramatic location, with the rare luxury of a dedicated butler for every suite.
