luxury holidays - Mauritius

Nestled in 27 acres of lush, tropical surroundings and overlooking the clear blue waters of Tamarin Bay, on the west coast of Mauritius, the décor of this luxury hotel has been inspired by French Colonial, Indian, African and Arabian designs and compliments the warm hospitality and excellent service of the Taj group of hotels. Spacious villas all with private pools exude an intimate ambiance for guests combined with all the modern day luxuries.

Built in Mauritian style, the hotel, set in tropical gardens, surrounds a secluded ‘private’ cove. Beyond the cove the peninsular has gardens leading to delightful sandy areas which provide easy access to the inviting ocean.

The spacious guest rooms offer a high standard of comfort that blends harmoniously with a decor of precious wood, shimmering silks and vibrant colours, reminiscent of the olden days in Pondichery.

Within the tropical garden the Cinq Mondes Spa brings together some of the best beauty and wellbeing treatments in the world including Indian Ayurvedic massages, Chinese Taoist massages, North African Hamman treatments and more.

Paradise Cove is renowned for a personalised service, reminiscent of the warmth and refinement of a 'Mauritian residence'

Contemporary and sophisticated, this world class resort boasts a truly spectacular panorama and an enchanting romantic setting that make it perfect for couples, whilst still holding enough excitement for families as well.

Le Touessrok sits on the east coast of Mauritius and encompasses three tropical islands, all with stunning white sand beaches. Frangipani island is linked to the mainland by a wooden bridge, whilst lle aux Cerfs and llôt Mangénie are both reached, in a few minutes, by private boat.

Dining venues include Three-Nine-Eight, the main restaurant which offers the cuisine of no less than nine different countries. Safran, by Michelin-starred Vineet Bhatia, specialises in modern interpretations of Indian cuisine, whilst east-meets-west dishes can be enjoyed at the beachside Barlens restaurant.

A top class resort renowned for its beachfront setting and sporting facilities, Belle Mare Plage hugs the edge of a long white sand beach, its turquoise waters protected by an offshore coral reef, making it just perfect for swimming and water sports. In addition the hotel has two 18 hole championship golf courses, both of which offer free green fees to hotel guests.

Shandrani is Hindi for ‘goddess of the moon’ and this is a truly heavenly experience blending exceptional accommodation, excellence in cuisine, and a host of leisure activities with the most hospitable service to create one of the finest all-inclusive holiday concepts.

Situated in the unspoilt historical south, amidst award winning tropical gardens, Shandrani has three distinctly different beaches to discover, including an unusual and romantic ‘Wild Beach’. Two further beaches offer peaceful tranquillity, overlooking the calm turquoise lagoon.

From the moment you step into the imposing lobby of this flawless hotel you will feel you belong to another world. Built on one of the most breathtaking stretches of beach on the east cost of the island, the hotel recreates the style and elegance of the turn of the century colonial mansion that once existed in Mauritius in the 1920’s – a perfect combination of bygone charm and modern comfort.

The oversized rooms and suites are exquisitely furnished having king size or twin beds and a spacious balcony patio or terrace and each come with a personal butler.

The three restaurants offer a wide choice of cuisine which the hotel prides itself on. The dining room, made entirely of wood, uses native produce of the island and overlooks the pool and sea. The Verandah serves tasty snacks and salads, poolside, and the Plantation offers the freshest seafood and Creole cuisine in the oceanfront plantation house.

At the centre of the hotel lies The Sanctuary Spa, a centre of relaxation and well-being, where your mind and body will be rejuvenated and transformed.
