Luxury Mauritius holidays

Best luxury destinations in Mauritius

You are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding where to stay in Mauritius as every crevice of the island offers tranquil beaches, gin-clear waters and astounding sceneries.

For laid-back luxury, head over to the West Coast on the beautiful Flic en Flac shore. We have a small selection of excellent hotels with lush suites such as La Pirogue Hotel where you have the chance to sample thrilling water sports in sapphire waters above rainbow reefs. Nature enthusiasts will adore the nearby National Parks, breathtaking scenic viewpoints and crystal waterfall hikes.

For the highest number of 5-star hotels, the North Coast wins the deal from the buzzing streets of Port Louis with its mountain backdrop to Grand Baie seaside village. Thanks to its golden, serene beaches in Grand Baie fringing the coast, such as Trou aux Biches, many wealthy resorts have popped up along with exquisite bars and restaurants and dynamic nightlife. I think we know why the Dutch called it a ‘bay without end’.

Best beaches in Mauritius

Flawless and blissful, Mauritius won’t disappoint when it comes to stunning beaches. Most beaches are open to the public and have their own unique quirks.

The Southern Coast is a lot windier and wilder, due to the southern winds. Arguably the most famous beach, with spectacular scenery of Le Brabant Mountain, is Le Morne. As you dive in, expect crystal-clear waters and reefs the colour of Skittles, we can guarantee your mouth will drop once you've swum to the surface.

Eastern Coast and Western Coast are full of sophisticated resorts, charming villages and authentic atmospheres. Bella Mare and Flic En Flac are vast sugar-soft beaches, blessed with pure tropical splendour. It is said Tamarin Bay is almost a gift from above, its shore is split into two by the mouth of the river and the bay. This shallow bay is itself a famous spot on the island, where a large group of majestic dolphins can be seen in the morning!

The North Coast is a haven for hidden coves and private resorts. Trou aux Biches beach is the number one choice, but in this part of the island you'll find a great selection of pristine beaches with an impressive array of watersports activities to quench your adrenaline thirst.
