Best Hotels in Mauritius

I didn’t expect to fall in love with Mauritius the way I did.

Yes, I knew the clichés… turquoise lagoons, palm trees, five-star resorts. But what I found was deeper. We met incredibly nice people, we ate local food which is just delicious and we enjoyed the calm.

You wake up to golden light, sip strong coffee as the sea stretches endlessly in front of you, and suddenly you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. From refined boutique hotels to iconic retreats by the water, this island offers places that stay in your memory long after the tan fades.

Before the magic list of hotels, here are some tipps before landing in Mauritius :

• Best time to go : Mauritius is beautiful year-round, but the sweet spot ? May to early December. Expect sunshine, soft breezes, and fewer crowds. Avoid January to March if you’re not into humidity or cyclones.

• Do I need a visa ? For most passports (including EU, UK, CH, US and Canada), no visa is required for stays up to 90 days. Just arrive with a return ticket, a valid passport, and a small smile, they’ll let you in.

• Car rental : If you want freedom, rent a car. The island is small enough to explore fully in a few days. Just remember, they drive on the left!

• Hotel activities : Many hotels offer activities like snorkeling, paddle boarding, catamaran trips... But if you’re going during high season or want something specific, book in advance.
