THE ISLAND AND WHERE TO STAY


The island and where to stay


WHERE LUXURY IS STANDARD


Mauritius offers an incomparable range of hotel accommodation, much of it in the luxury category. But whatever the star rating, the standard will invariably exceed guests’ expectations and the welcome will be warm.


MAURITIUS EXCLUSIVITY and style is most evident in its hotels and resorts. With more than a hundred, set along 330km of coastline, it has the greatest choice of luxury accommodation of any holiday island on earth, and its genuine hospitality and great value keeps visitors coming back. Leading hotels may offer


helicopter transfers, 24-hour butlers and private plunge pools but three -star hotels still offer Mauritius’ famed fi ve-star service making pool living, gourmet restaurants and heavenly spas within everyone’s reach. Accommodation to suit every taste and budget ranges from big to boutique as well as hot new villa developments. It’s just become a little easier


to distinguish hotel categories following the introduction of a new hotel grading system by the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority. Full details are at www. tourism-mauritius.mu

Hotels are constantly fi ne- tuning their product to stay ahead of the pack, which suits the value-conscious luxury traveller unprepared to compromise on quality. With the demand for all-inclusives strong, top hotels have now introduced premium all- inclusive options such as ‘Full Board Plus’ at Paradis Hotel & Golf Club and ‘Gourmet Bliss’ at Heritage Le Telfair so guests dip in the pool rather than their pocket. Some include spa treats, green fees,


activities such as tennis, archery or waterskiing. The ultimate island luxury is


found at Mauritius’ signature resorts, elegance and class at the Royal Palm in the northwest, substance and groundbreaking style at One&Only Le Saint Géran and Le Touessrok in the east, perfect privacy in pool villas at Maradiva Villas

Regis Mauritius when it opens on the ‘fi ve-star strip’at Le Morne in September 2012.


Hot on their heels, with butlers aplenty, on Mauritius’


“Mauritius is a fabulous year round destination with an abundance of fantastic hotels and resorts. The Oberoi, with outstanding service and exquisite design is perfect for romantic getaways. The Residence is a fabulously romantic retreat, and in school holidays, a haven for families.”
