The beautiful tropical island of Mauritius was a colony of the Netherlands, France and Great Britain. But since its independence in 1968 it has become one of the prime luxury tropical holiday destinations. Blessed with stunning white sandy beaches and turquoise waters Mauritius is popular with honeymooners and leisure travelers alike. Along the 330 kilometers of beautiful coastline you can find dozens of hotels. Our team of travel editors compiled a list of Top 10 best luxury hotels & resorts in Mauritius. The top honors are taken by both international luxury hotel brands as well as hospitality companies that have their roots in Mauritius. Some of our favorite resorts in Mauritius have their own golf courses, others are more geared to water activities like deep-sea fishing and diving. But all of them have access to a stunning white sandy beach.
Mauritius offers a range of landscapes and experiences depending on the coast. The east is home to some of the island’s most luxurious resorts, with quiet beaches and lush surroundings—though it’s breezier due to the trade winds. The west is warmer and sunnier, ideal for swimming, dolphin spotting, and dramatic scenery like Le Morne. It also has a more relaxed, local vibe in areas like Tamarin and Flic en Flac.
The north is the most developed and lively, centered around Grand Baie, with beach bars, restaurants, and good nightlife—perfect for those who want activity and convenience. In contrast, the south remains largely untouched and scenic, with rugged cliffs, forests, and a more authentic, low-key atmosphere suited for nature lovers. Each coast has its charm, depending on what kind of holiday you’re after.

Shangri-La Le Touessrok Resort & Spa takes third place in our ranking of Mauritius hotels, offering a unique mix of scale, style, and exclusivity. Located on the quiet Trou d’Eau Douce bay and spread over 34 hectares, the resort features elegant rooms and suites with ocean views, several pristine beaches, and a private island—Ilot Mangénie—with its own restaurant and cabanas.
The resort stands out for its polished service, chic modern design, and wide range of experiences, from championship golf and water sports to a serene spa and standout dining across five restaurants. While larger and livelier than our top two picks, it delivers a refined, all-encompassing escape with both energy and elegance.
2. Constance Prince Maurice
Constance Prince Maurice ranks as our clear number two hotel in Mauritius, offering a peaceful, elegant retreat on a private peninsula along the island’s northeast coast. Surrounded by quiet lagoons, white-sand beaches, and lush tropical gardens, the resort features beautifully designed suites and villas—some set over water, others with private pools—built to blend effortlessly with the natural surroundings.
What earns it this spot is its blend of refined atmosphere and standout experiences, including the one-of-a-kind floating restaurant Le Barachois, warm and attentive service, and access to two championship golf courses. While it offers a more intimate scale than Four Seasons at Anahita, the attention to detail, serene setting, and thoughtful touches throughout make it a close and worthy second.
1. Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita
Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita earns its place as the island’s top hotel by offering an exceptional balance of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Set on a 64-acre estate along the east coast, the resort features spacious, stand-alone villas—each with its own private plunge pool and garden—designed to blend seamlessly into the lush surroundings. The architecture draws from local influences, with thatched roofs, open-air layouts, and materials that blur the line between indoors and out. From lagoon views to a private beach on Ile aux Cerfs, the setting is both peaceful and refined.
What sets the resort apart is its attention to detail and breadth of experiences. Guests can enjoy diverse dining options, a serene overwater spa, championship golf courses, and a wide range of water sports and wellness activities. Service is warm and intuitive, delivered with a quiet confidence that never feels overbearing. Sustainability also plays a key role here, with conservation programs and thoughtful environmental design integrated into the resort’s philosophy. It’s this blend of sophistication, nature, and genuine care that makes Four Seasons at Anahita the most complete and rewarding stay in Mauritius. We particularly enjoyed the private beach club at a perfect white sand beach on the island of Ile aux Cerfs, a 15 minute boat ride from the resort.
