Character and identity
Shanti Maurice spreads across 36 acres of Mauritius's quieter southern coast, tucked between sugarcane fields and a turquoise lagoon that lend it an island-within-an-island feel. Sixty-one ocean-facing villas and suites sit among frangipani, breadfruit trees and bougainvillea, most with private pools and alfresco rain showers. Dining ranges from flame-grilled fish on the sand to La Kaze Mama, a garden pavilion serving home-style Creole cooking, with the Rum Shed pouring more than 250 varieties alongside live sega. The 75,000-square-foot Shanti Spa anchors the wellness side, with Ayurvedic consultations, open-air yoga and Watsu hydrotherapy.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and wellness-minded travellers who want seclusion, slow days and a serious spa programme. The cultural touches (cooking classes, weekly fish market excursions with the chef, lantern-lit beach dinners, rum tastings) will reward curious eaters and design-literate guests. Families are well looked after too, with a kids' club and outdoor cinema.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone wanting nightlife, shopping or a buzzy resort scene should look at the north or west coasts. The southern setting is genuinely remote, so day-tripping around the island means longer drives, and golfers will need to head off-property to Avalon.
Bottom line
What sets this place apart is the combination of a vast, properly programmed spa and an unusually low-key stretch of coastline, the kind where sunrise walks feel solo. Book a pool villa if the budget stretches, lean into the Ayurvedic consultations and La Kaze Mama, and come for at least five nights so the southern remoteness becomes the point rather than the inconvenience.
