With its own private island sanctuary and network of pretty bridges, cycle paths and all-pool-villa accommodation, the Four Seasons Anahita creates an atmosphere of casual exclusivity that is hard to beat. We love that you can be fishing from a bridge one minute and playing golf on the Ernie Els-designed golf course the next. Situated in extensive grounds on the East coast of Mauritius, whichever way you look, you will be treated to stunning views of mountain, beach, mangrove, garden or ocean.

Nestled on the East Coast of Mauritius, amongst coconut palms and verdant tropical gardens, with uninterrupted views across the white sandy beaches to the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean you cannot fail to fall in love with Lux Belle Mare. This resort combines authentic Mauritian charm with a twist of contemporary Balearic style and exquisite vibrant cuisine.

Tropical elegance nestled beneath the dramatic Le Morne mountain. This is the place where you will find romance and adventure in equal measures. We may be slightly biased as this is the resort that Premiere Escapes’ founder chose for her fairy tale wedding, but with its sheltered south-west aspect, stunning sunsets and thatch-roofed all suite and villa accommodation there is something truly magical about Dinarobin.

Named after the nearby fishing village, this true island getaway is set on a secluded peninsula on the North East, overlooking several islets including pretty Coin de Mire. Should you ever wish to escape the peace and tranquility then bustling Grand Baie is just ten minutes away.

It is the colonial architecture set between the backdrop of dramatic Le Morne mountain and the vast white sandy beach and turquoise sea that sets the St Regis apart for us. In addition to the sumptuous food on offer in the restaurants, the St Regis provides three private dining locations for more personalised, intimate affairs. There is also a butler service which caters to your every need. There are fabulous water sports on offer, where one can take advantage of the sheltered, shallow waters for a stand up paddle whilst further out you can indulge in the adrenaline rush of the wind and the waves at One Eye.

The majestic Le Morne mountain offers you shelter from the trade winds whilst being in easy reach of the famous wave riding and kite surfing spot at One Eye just around the corner for those more adventurous types. Make the most of all the activities on offer then lie back on your terrace, the air heavy with the scent of exotic flora, and watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean- simply unplug from the world and relax.

The accommodation is of a very high standard with only suites and villas available. They are all set amidst verdant, tropical gardens with beach, sea or lagoon views – choose a suite on stilts to fully enjoy the tropical marine life in le barachois below your feet. Add to this the exceptional service, world-class cuisine, wine pairing and U Spa and you will be as enamoured with this luxurious holiday experience as we are.

The Royal Palm is private, quiet and classy. Bring your best beachwear and dress like the Riviera jet set for evening piano music and cocktails. ‘High class’, was our immediate response to this blissful haven on the sheltered North-West coast of Mauritius. The unobtrusive and attentive staff, the allocated sunbeds on the beach and the decadent room service at no extra charge are just a few of the little touches that will make you feel like royalty during your stay.

Imagine a picture postcard of the idyllic tropical holiday and that is what you will see when you arrive at Shangri-La Le Touessrok. Set along the eastern coast of Mauritius, this resort can boast that it provides you with four of the best and most private white beaches on the island. All of the accommodation is beachfront with stunning views across the turquoise Indian Ocean to two tropical islands that lie just off shore. One island is for the exclusive use of Shangri-La’s guests whilst the other offers up complimentary golf on a world-class 18-hole course designed by Bernhard Langer.

The Trou aux Biches architecture is complemented by waterfalls, fountains, channels and pools which create a delightfully romantic atmosphere amongst the lush, tropical gardens. There are 106 swimming pools, many private, and the clear waters of the Indian Ocean are just the other side of the white sandy beach. We love how this aquatic sanctuary is nestled on the north-west coast of Mauritius, just ten minutes from Grand Baie, where it benefits from one of the best climates on the island.
