Mauritius has long been one of the Indian Ocean's most prestigious luxury destinations — and for good reason.

This guide covers the properties we believe stand above the rest, with honest editorial assessments, verified pricing, and the comparisons you need to make the right choice.

When to Visit Mauritius
The island's best weather falls between May and November — warm, dry, and with low humidity. Cyclone season runs from December through April; while most storms pass to the south, the risk is real and insurance is essential. Prices are highest in July–August and December–January. For the best combination of weather and value, aim for May–June or September–October.
Which Region Is Right for You?
The east coast (Belle Mare, Trou d'Eau Douce) is the traditional luxury heartland — calm lagoons, championship golf, and the island's most iconic properties. The south-west (Le Morne) offers dramatic scenery and world-class water sports. The north (Grand Baie, Cap Malheureux) is more social and accessible. The west coast (Flic en Flac) has spectacular sunsets and excellent diving reefs. Choose your region before your hotel, not the other way around.
What's Included in the Price
Mauritius luxury hotels typically price on a bed-and-breakfast or half-board basis, with all-inclusive options available at some properties. Most will add a government tourism levy and a service charge on top of quoted rates. Always confirm what is and is not included before booking — meal plans, water sports, and spa treatments can add significantly to the total cost.
