Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa
About 1,700 km east of the African continent, a paradise island rises from the vastness of the Indian Ocean, which has always been synonymous with the great longing for distant places: Mauritius not only impresses with its powdery fine beaches and diverse coral reefs but also with hilly rainforests, rushing waterfalls, and rare plant species. In the south of the island, where the turquoise sea meets wide palm-fringed plains, the Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa awaits you in a picturesque bay. The luxurious villas and suites of the accommodation harmoniously blend into the untouched coastal landscape with their thatched roofs and exclusive features such as private pools or direct beach access. Whether deeply relaxed in the approximately 7,000 sqm large spa with Ayurveda treatments and yoga pavilions or active on the tennis court or with water sports – here you can enjoy the island adventure of a lifetime.

Rooms
A barefoot holiday like out of a picture book – choose your tailored accommodation from a diverse range of 61 comfortable villas and suites. While the villas, ranging from approximately 375 to 1,000 square meters, offer ultimate luxury for up to 6 adults and 4 children, with direct beach access or sea views and private outdoor pools, the approximately 81 square meter junior suites with separate bedroom and living area present an ideal alternative for couples or small families. Most villas and suites offer a wonderful view of the Indian Ocean and, depending on their location, a preferred position for sunrise or sunset. The elegant design, floor-to-ceiling windows, and natural wood accents make the tastefully designed accommodations true places of well-being.
Culinary
The best ingredients from the sea and the hotel's own herb and vegetable garden are transformed into aromatic specialties with Mauritian influences in the restaurants of the Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa. From the light-flooded main restaurant Stars, which is your culinary hub for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, to rustic grill restaurants with fish and seafood offerings, as well as the Asian sushi lounge and La Kaze Mama, where typical island delicacies are served according to traditional family recipes – look forward to genuine moments of enjoyment. The bars of the accommodation pamper you with freshly mixed cocktails and classic drinks, as well as rum cocktails made from the sugarcane plants of the surrounding plantations.
Activities
Enjoy the relaxed island life with all your senses – this is exactly what the diverse leisure program of the Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa invites you to do. Whether you focus on the harmony of body, mind, and soul with soothing massages, Ayurveda or hydrotherapy treatments in the spacious spa, or work on yourself in the modern fitness center, on the tennis court, or during yoga sessions, it is entirely up to you. The natural surroundings with their sugar cane fields and tea plantations offer plenty of opportunities for walks and hikes. Golfers benefit from the short distance to the 18-hole course at Avalon Golf Estate. The hotel's own coral sanctuary is also a true paradise for divers and snorkelers.
Location
With its convenient location in the wild and romantic south of Mauritius, the Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa is not only directly on the island's most beautiful beaches but also about 14 km away from the Black River Gorges National Park. Take extensive hikes and marvel at endemic plants and rare animal species such as flying foxes. From the well-marked viewpoint, you can look through the impressive rainforest gorges to the Indian Ocean. You are about 50 kilometers from the capital Port Louis in the north, and approximately 30 kilometers from the international airport in the east of the island.
