Luxury Mauritius Holidays

LUX* Resorts pride themselves on their beautiful hotels. There are three dotted across the island, and they’re among the top resorts in Mauritius. Each one boasts a tranquil spa, swish bedrooms and a picture-perfect location.

On the northwest coast, LUX* Grand Gaube combines luxury and romance, making it an ideal choice for couples. You can unwind in your own exclusive spot, as the suites and villas are sprinkled along the secluded bay. Sunbathe on your villa’s private deck, or sip Champagne in your bathtub for two and admire the pristine shores.

LUX* Belle Mare, meanwhile, is the perfect luxury option for foodies. Work your way around six bars and restaurants, as you try Mauritian cuisine, feast on Chinese barbecue, and nibble Indian treats created by three-Michelin-starred chef Vineet Bhatia.

Finally, tucked away in the southwest corner, there’s LUX* Le Morne. With a spectacular private beach, five swimming pools and complimentary watersports, this five-star retreat allows you to be as relaxed or as active as you like.

Paradise Cove is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Mauritius for couples. With just 75 suites, this boutique spot majors in adults-only luxury holidays.

Just north of Anse La Raie Beach, this petite places oozes romance. Stroll along the white sands, go for a dip in the azure waters, or order cocktails in the sleek bars and admire the view. You can snuggle up on the deck of the tapas bar, Peninsula, or relax under The Cove’s coconut trees. Or spend a relaxing afternoon together at the seafront spa, where you can de-stress with a massage as you listen to the waves lapping the shore.

At the end of the day, you can retreat to your plush suite. Each one comes with a comfy four-poster kind-size bed, while the bathroom has a shower or bathtub designed for two. Enjoy a romantic soak, or sit back on your terrace and watch the sunset paint the clouds pink, purple and orange.

When you’re looking at luxury Mauritius holidays, The Residence is a name that will keep cropping up – and it’s easy to see why. Taking inspiration from Mauritius’ turn-of-the-century plantation houses, this beautiful hotel combines colonial style with contemporary touches to create a charming retreat.

Go for a swim in the lagoon-style pool or treat yourself to a pamper session in the spa pavilion, surrounded by tropical gardens. Or make the most of the hotel’s superb location on Belle Mare’s white sands, and go snorkelling, paddle-boarding or windsurfing. After a day on the beach, you can choose between three fabulous restaurants and fill up on net-fresh seafood, Italian dishes or rich Creole delicacies.

And the luxury continues in your room. Request drinks from your exclusive butler service and relax on your sea-view balcony, before sinking into your four-poster bed.

On the southeast coast, on the caramel sands of La Chaland beach, Anantara Iko Mauritius is in a very pretty spot. And it’s right by Blue Bay Marine Park – a protected ocean reserve filled with bright corals and tropical fish. So, if you’re planning to go snorkelling on you luxury Mauritius holiday, this is one of the best places to stay.

Make the most of the complimentary watersports, before heading to Anantara Spa. This serene space has two outdoor Thai massage pavilions, as well as a steam room and an authentic hammam experience. Or, put your culinary skills to the test and learn to make Mauritian dishes at Spice Spoons cookery school.

The dining scene at Anantara Iko Mauritius is second to none. Eat breakfast overlooking the Indian Ocean, try delicious seafood, and tuck into premium meats grilled on Himalayan salt rocks. If you’re celebrating an occasion, why not ask the concierge to arrange a private dining experience? You can enjoy a romantic dinner on the sands, complete with your own butler and sommelier.
