 Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa 

Free your spirit

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.

These ground or first-floor suites are slightly set back from the beach, but still provided uninterrupted sea views; those on the ground floor have an outdoor shower.
