Luxury Holidays in Mauritius

The Four Seasons is something else entirely. Every one of the 136 rooms is a private villa with its own garden, pool, and outdoor bathroom — it's like having your own home on the most beautiful lagoon in Mauritius. The resort spans 64 acres on the east coast and includes a private beach club on Ile aux Cerfs, accessible by a quick boat ride. Seven restaurants, an overwater spa, two golf courses, and the kind of quiet, anticipatory service that Four Seasons is famous for. Staff bring little treats to your sunbed throughout the day — fresh fruit, chilled drinks, even someone who'll clean your sunglasses. For families wanting space and privacy, or couples after total luxury, this is world-class.

Contemporary sophistication meets Mauritian warmth at Le Touessrok. Sitting on the white sands of Trou d'Eau Douce Bay on the east coast, this resort has its own private island — Ilot Mangenie — where you can escape for the day with a personally prepared picnic. The rooms are elegant and modern with large bay windows opening onto ocean-view terraces, and the Frangipani wing (on its own private islet) comes with butler service for those wanting something extra special. Five restaurants, a full-service spa, and a kids' club make it equally lovely for couples and families. It underwent a beautiful renovation in late 2024, and the result is stunning.

Set at the foot of the dramatic Le Morne mountain — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the Dinarobin is all about peaceful escape. This all-suite resort sits on one of the most scenic shorelines in Mauritius, with tropical gardens, thatched villas, and a mile of beautiful beach. The spa here, tucked into gardens at the base of the mountain, is one of the best on the island. Four restaurants, an adults-only Zen zone, and shared access to the Paradis championship golf course next door make this one incredibly hard to leave.

This is Claire's absolute favourite hotel in the world — and once you've been, you'll understand why. With just 69 sea-facing suites, the Royal Palm feels wonderfully intimate. Claire describes the experience as being "Royal Palmed" — a level of personal service that's almost impossible to find anywhere else.

Three gorgeous restaurants, a stunning Clarins spa, and a stretch of beach in Grand Baie that's hard to leave. It doesn't feel pretentious either — just beautifully, effortlessly special.

Paradis lives up to its name. Sitting right at the tip of the Le Morne Peninsula, this resort has five kilometres of pristine white sand beach and the island's largest lagoon — calm, warm, and perfect for families and water sports alike. The 18-hole championship golf course is spectacular (you'll be hitting over the Indian Ocean on some holes), and the dining is lovely, particularly La Ravanne for authentic Mauritian food with your feet in the sand and live music playing. Brilliant for families, couples, and golf lovers.

If you're after a proper action-packed holiday, Shandrani is the one. Set on its own private peninsula in the south, it's surrounded by three beaches and sits right next to the stunning Blue Bay Marine Park — one of the best snorkelling spots on the island. There's a 9-hole golf course, tennis, every water sport you can think of, and a spa that's an absolute haven under the shade of an old badamier tree. It has an exclusive adults-only area, but it's also fantastic for families — the rooms are spacious, there are interconnecting options, and even a dedicated "Petit Club" for little ones aged two to three.
