Mauritius Hotels & Resorts
Beautiful beaches, turquoise lagoons and lush interiors in all shades of green; Mauritius is a tropical paradise with a stable of exquisite hotels. Many of our featured resorts back a beautiful and sheltered lagoon meaning snorkelling is possible right from the shore and there are plenty of watersports on offer.
Opt for all inclusive and you arrive with the peace of mind that everything’s taken care of and in Mauritius, not all all-inclusive resorts on this island are cut from the same sarong. Some lean into beachy barefoot vibes, others whisper grown-up glam, and a few surprise you with extras you didn’t know you needed.

Mauritius Hotel Guide
All inclusive hotels in Mauritius
Heritage Awali has one of the island’s most generous all inclusive offerings. Think à la carte dining, free-flowing drinks, golf green fees, a free spa treatment, watersports and afternoon tea, all part of the package. Even your minibar and room service are included and- access to sister resorts and a beach club thrown in too. LUX* Grand Gaube rewrites the all-inclusive rulebook. Expect a heady mix of Peruvian-Japanese fusion, toes-in-the-sand Mauritian eats, barista coffee, minibar treats and ice cream stops all included. You’ll get complimentary watersports and spa access, too. Not everything is covered (for instance, the excellent INTI restaurant), but what is included goes well beyond the basics.
Attitude Hotels have every all inclusive corner covered where you can live like a local through their range of hotels with authentic ‘otenik’ experiences. Lagoon Attitude has no fuss, just feel-good island living with values that match the views. Zilwa exudes Mauritius character and the perfect place to unwind as your home from home. Sunrise Attitude is across the road from one of the island’s best beaches and Friday Attitude is small and low key. Base board type is half board but go for the all-in option and get your meals and drinks included. At The Ravenala, dive in and have fun with the watersports and activities on tap and you’ll find Tropical Attitude to be stylishly simple without too many bells and whistles, but hugely welcoming and fabulous all inclusive value. Constance Belle Mare Plage’s optional all-inclusive package makes it easy to go all in. As well as relaxed buffets and special-occasion splurges, sparkling wine and premium spirits included until midnight, your minibar gets refilled each day and golfers get unlimited green fees and buggies on the resort’s two championship courses. And if golf is your thing, there’s unlimited green fees at the Bernhard Langer-designed course of Ile des Cerfs when you stay at Ambre. It’s adults only with some romantic places to dine and whilst there’s a gym, a couple of sports pitches and non-motorised watersports, here it’s all about the downtime.

Mauritian Street Food
Put on your walking shoes as you leisurely taste your way through more than two and a half centuries of history in the island’s capital, Port Louis, on this enlightening walking tour.
