A beautiful new resort:

The Grand Mauritian Main Pool

In July 2008, The Grand Mauritian opened as the first Starwood ‘Luxury Collection’ hotel in the Indian Ocean. Located on a beautiful stretch of coastline in the north-west of the island, the resort is situated by a natural coral marine park. Inspired by the ocean and its waves – tones of blue and natural taupe, traditional timber, the creative use of natural volcanic rock and stunning thatched sugar-cane roofing, creates a warm idyllic sense of Mauritian charm and sophistication. The resort boasts an extensive list of water sports, the islands largest freestyle pool, romantic beach and 20 hectares of lush sub-tropical gardens. The guest rooms are all sea facing, modern classical, yet stylish in design and offer all of the latest amenities that a guest would require. The resort has a choice of three restaurants to include a fine-dining Italian option and extensive wine cellar. The Mandara Spa offers far more than a spa treatment specialising in Asian techniques using local and natural produce. The Grand Mauritius Resort – a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa is a gem, a true getaway to adventure and personalised experience.

Experience the magic of Mauritian hospitality in a truly luxurious setting:

Each of the 15 villas is designed to embrace the beauty of the resort’s spectacular beachfront setting. The landscaping, various water-based features and the sheer beauty of the Indian Ocean work their way into the simple yet sophisticated décor. All rooms offer a breathtaking sea-view.

All of the 193 rooms and suites have a classic feel, though a modern aesthetic weaves its way in and out of the tastefully appointed spaces with thoughtful amenities, including flat-screen televisions. A palette of soft, muted colours that includes taupe, ivory, and duck-egg blue adds a sense of serene elegance to the room. Spacious and airy marble bathrooms and dressing areas open up onto a generous bedroom and patio area, the ideal spot to admire the natural reef and gentle waves pulsing below.

Romantic dining:

A variety of dining venues elegantly harmonises the globally renowned work of award-winning Chef Stephane Brallet with indigenous flavour. Brezza offers a feast of Italian inspired dishes in a casual yet romantic beachfront setting, while the international flair of Season invites guests into its modern kitchen for a truly interactive dining experience. Bar 68 is the perfect perch to take in a spot of live music while sipping an island cocktail, though Reflections’ poolside location makes it a favourite of swimmers looking to cool off with a refreshing drink and a snack.

Captivating views – sparkling amenities:

The Mandara Spa is a luxurious retreat that was created with supreme sensitivity to the guest experience – capturing the essence of luxury and privacy that is at the heart of your stay. Beyond this blissful escape, the resort offers a number of activities to guide you on your path towards rejuvenation. Two swimming pools refresh the senses with crystalline waters and poolside refreshments and light meals, while the turquoise waves of the Indian Ocean are an incredibly tempting alternative.

When you have fully re-charged, set your sights on more active endeavours, which include a number of water-based options. Allow the expert Luxury Collection Concierge staff to arrange a dive from the hotel or try your hand at water skiing or snorkelling. The Marine Nature Park is adjacent to the resort and an excellent alternative for those wishing to enjoy a leisurely stroll through relaxing and scenic surrounds.

Opportunity abounds for the athletically inclined at The Grand Mauritian Resort & Spa. Partake in a spirited game of tennis in one of the two floodlit courts, both conveniently located at the entrance to the hotel and offering breathtaking views of the mountains. The fitness centre – located on the first floor of the Mandara Spa – includes cardio, strength and movement training facilities. Steam rooms, saunas and Jacuzzis soothe tired muscles post workout.
