Interiors by Kelly Hoppen, a rooftop infinity pool with panoramic ocean views, and standout dining including the moody, theatrical Ai KISU set it apart from the rest. With a rooftop adults-only beach club vibe, private villas, and a serious wellness offering, this is Mauritius for the modern, style-driven traveller.

Royal Palm Beachcomber is the most prestigious name in Mauritian hospitality. With just 69 suites and a fiercely loyal clientele, it has long been considered the gold standard of discreet luxury. The atmosphere is serene and deeply refined, with gracious service that anticipates every need. The cuisine is exceptional, overseen by some of the finest chefs on the island, and the beachfront location in Grand Baie ensures both beauty and convenience without compromising exclusivity.

Want to speak to someone who has been?

There is so much to say about these hotels. We think One&Only Le Saint Géran is a great property, offering more elegance than LUX* Grand Baie and Royal Palm Beachcomber. We think Shangri-La Le Touessrok could be in the 'ultra luxury' category given its style and private island. We think LUX* Le Morne is an excellent contemporary option for those who like long beaches and mountainous surroundings. We think Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel is great for those not wanting to see children.
