Relaxation is the order of the day at this leafy boutique retreat blessed with idyllic beaches and an impressive wellness offering.
Luxury comes in the form of space and time at this beyond-inviting five-star resort backed by wooden hills and sugarcane fields in the sleepy south of Mauritius. Fringed by coral sand coves, its 36-acre grounds make a tranquil setting for a small collection of spacious ocean-view suites and pool villas created using natural materials such as granite, lava stone and wood to harmonious effect. There’s an easy rhythm to days here, however you choose to fill them. Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the superb spa, take a yoga class on the beach or try your hand at archery. Mealtimes are an adventure in themselves, with the flavours of the island complemented by those of Arabia, Asia, India and the Mediterranean.
Why we love Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa
-
It has pristine beaches, one a gently sloping stretch of sand for leisurely swims and the other a windier slice of coastal scenery
-
With 36 acres of tropical gardens to hide them in, the 61 ocean-view suites and villas don’t just feel secluded, they are secluded
-
The wellness facilities are truly impressive, ranging from yoga classes in open pavilions to a comprehensive Ayurveda offering in the spa
-
Children are warmly welcomed with their own Explorers Kids Club, which has its own pool and a wide-ranging programme of things to do
Rooms
Widely spaced around the luxuriant gardens, the 61 suites and villas have an airy, timeless, restful design, featuring natural materials such as wood and stone, a soft palette of white and beige, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sea. The Junior Suites sleep two adults and up to two children on extra beds and come in four versions, depending on their outlook and proximity to the sea: Lagoonview, Ocean View, Oceanfront and Beachfront. Several times larger, the Oceanview Pool Villa has a large outdoor area with a private pool, Jacuzzi beds and a thatched pavilion for al fresco dining, and it’s the shortest of walks to your personal sunbeds right on the beach. The even larger Beachfront Suite Pool Villa has the same, but on a more generous scale; like the Oceanview Pool Villa, it also comes with the upgraded benefits of Shanti’s Club Level Experience programme. Book an Oceanview/ Oceanfront Double Suite Pool Villa if you want all the facilities of a villa but with two en-suite bedrooms, or splash out on the vast Shanti Villa, which has three bedrooms and the sea on two sides. Featuring a private pool, personal loungers on the beach and upgraded experiences, any one of the villas would be a memorable option for a special holiday.
Facilities
With a main restaurant that offers an appealing hot-weather-friendly menu, a toes-in-the-sand seafood restaurant and a rotating selection of options for lunch and dinner, you’ll be spoiled for choice at Shanti Maurice.
Stars
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the main restaurant features dishes from the Indian Ocean, Asia, Arabia and the Mediterranean. Grab an outdoor table overlooking the beach for the full experience.
Fish Market
Enjoy a middle-of-the-day pause at this rustic al fresco spot on the beach where super-fresh seafood is the main event, and return for a barbecue buffet in the evening.
La Kaz Mama
Open for dinner, weather permitting, this relaxed outdoor venue has a menu of flavour-packed home-style Creole favourites.
Asian Lounge
Lunch or dine on exquisitely prepared and beautifully presented sushi and other Asian delicacies in this courtyard restaurant. It’s not open every day, so booking is advisable.
Just Thai
Feast on authentic Thai flavours overlooking the beach at this open-sided lunch-and-dinner spot, open on selected days.
Indian Delights
With dishes cooked by a team of chefs from across India, you can be sure of a genuine taste of the sub-continent. It’s open for lunch and dinner several days a week.
Arabic Cuisine
Another lunch-and-dinner venue with limited opening days, this one focuses on the spiced and scented delights of Middle Eastern cooking.
Rum Shed Bar & Grill
Spend a relaxed few hours grazing on delectable rum cocktails, traditional Mauritian snacks and more substantial dishes from the barbecue and wood-fired oven at this hideaway eatery.
Private Fish Shack
Experience Perfect for a romantic evening or relaxed family celebration, this laid-back culinary experience provides a simple but sublime feast of grilled seafood and barbecued treats on the beach, served by your personal butler.
In-suite/villa dining
If you can’t bear to leave your suite or villa, fancy a pan-global meal or have the midnight munchies, there’s 24-hour room service.
Tucked away in the leafy gardens, the characterful Rum Shed has an irresistibly chilled-out atmosphere to go with its extensive rum list and knockout Mauritian snacks.
