The St Regis Mauritius Resort 5*

Set on a white coral-sand beach with Le Morne mountain providing a dramatic backdrop, this serene resort is dedicated to relaxation and has the intimate feel of a boutique hotel – you will feel like a special guest in a private home. The décor is fresh and natural with wood, stone and white furnishings creating a soothing setting by the main pool and in the sophisticated open-air lounges. The reef-protected lagoon is perfect for watersports and you can enjoy twice-daily snorkelling trips. You are also close to one of the world’s best kite-surfing spots, the one-eye.

Four restaurants offer distinct culinary experiences, bringing together French-inspired cuisine and Asian flavours. Enjoy French Creole dishes in a colonial home setting at Le Manoir Dining Room. The Boathouse Bar & Grill will tempt you with its fruity cocktails, light meals and oyster platters while Floating Market serves South East Asian-inspired cuisine in a tranquil pool pavilion setting.

The stunning and spacious rooms and suites are set within two-storey pavilions scattered along the beachfront and in the gardens. Each offers stunning ocean views and butler service – start your day by requesting your morning coffee and the day’s paper to be delivered to your room. Oceanview Deluxe Rooms are set in gardens while Beachfront Junior Suites offer direct beach access and beautiful sunset views. The impressive Oceanview Manor House Suite is hugely spacious and features an in-room spa facility for two – perfect for romantic couple’s massages.
