Character and identity
Set along Mauritius's quieter northeastern coast, Constance Prince Maurice sprawls across nearly 150 acres of gardens, mangroves and private beach, with thatched roofs, teakwood interiors and a spice-toned palette that nods to the island's Dutch colonial past. The layout is generous: 76 suites and 13 villas, including overwater stilted villas and the multi-terraced Princely Villa with butler service. Le Barachois, a floating seafood restaurant, anchors the dining, backed by a 25,000-bottle cellar with pairing dinners. The Constance Spa runs Sisley Paris treatments alfresco, and two oceanfront golf courses sit on property, an unusual perk in Mauritius.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and honeymooners after seclusion and Old World atmosphere, oenophiles who'll make use of the cellar tastings and pairing dinners, and golfers who want two ocean-facing courses without leaving the gate. Privacy seekers booking a villa, and travellers who prize architecture and gardens over a buzzy scene, will feel at home.
Should look elsewhere:
Families wanting a high-energy kids' programme or guests who like a lively bar and restaurant scene won't find that pulse here. The quiet northeastern setting trades nightlife and shopping access for isolation, and design purists chasing a contemporary minimalist look should consider other Mauritian properties.
Bottom line
The defining draw is seclusion paired with an unusually deep wine and food programme, plus two ocean golf courses you'd struggle to find together elsewhere on the island. Spend the money if you're a couple or wine-minded traveller after privacy; book an overwater villa for the setting, or the Princely Villa if budget allows, and time a visit around the drier May to October window.
