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.

A fabulous Jiva Grand Spa provides a range of Ayeurvedic therapies from deep muscular massages to aromatherapy and detox treatments.

The dining experience reflects fresh flavours combined with creativity and innovation. Coast2 Coast serves Mediterranean, Mauritian and international cuisine, while speciality restaurant Cilantro reflects the sophistication of its Pan-Asian cuisine.

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'

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.
