Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa in detail
Hotel
Experience the ultimate island paradise. Discover the unspoilt beauty of Mauritius, off the east coast of Africa, where idyllic sandy beaches, turquoise waters and lush tropical rainforests come together. Welcome to Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa, an exclusive resort just 57 km from the capital, Port Louis. Set between majestic green mountains and the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, this idyllic resort spans 16 hectares of tropical gardens. Here, harmony of body, mind and spirit comes first. Immerse yourself in a world of peace and tranquillity, where the philosophy is to offer you a true taste of authentic Mauritius.
Location & Surroundings
Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa is set in the unspoilt south of Mauritius, in Saint Felix, in the district of Bel Ombre, right on the picturesque coast. Surrounded by around 17 hectares of lush tropical gardens, the resort stretches down to a peaceful white-sand beach with direct access to the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. The south of Mauritius is a fascinating and varied destination, offering natural beauty, cultural attractions and adventurous activities. This part of the island brings together breathtaking landscapes, historic sights and an authentic way of life in Mauritius.
Food & Drink
Enjoy a variety of dining at one of the three restaurants, and unwind in one of the three bars. The signature restaurant, “Stars”, serves fresh local cuisine alongside refined Indian, Asian and Arabic dishes. Start your day here with a delicious breakfast. In the relaxed setting of “La Kaze Mama”, nestled in the herb and vegetable garden, savour authentic Mauritian home cooking prepared from traditional recipes. For a more casual dining experience, “Rum Shed Bar & Grill” offers a selection of barbecue specialities and the island’s largest choice of rum, with over 250 varieties from 36 countries.
Take in breathtaking sunsets at “Red Ginger Bar & Pool Lounge”. The resort also offers personalised wellness and spa menus, created in consultation with the wellness director (surcharge applies).
Guests booking half board receive a resort credit of £50 (3,000 RS) per evening, valid towards any menu. It can be redeemed at any restaurant and applies to food only.
You are free to choose from the restaurants’ menus and enjoy dinner as a three-course meal, with a few exceptions. Please note that dishes marked with a supplement are not included in the price and will be charged separately.
Wellness & Spa
Discover the exclusive Shanti Spa, a true haven for relaxation and renewal, designed exclusively for guests aged 18 and over. Set within lush tropical gardens, the spa spans more than 7,500 square metres, offering a peaceful retreat.
The core wellbeing experiences at Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa are yoga, meditation and Ayurveda. A team of leading Ayurveda specialists, including an experienced Indian Ayurvedic practitioner and internationally trained spa therapists, is on hand to meet your individual needs and create a memorable spa experience.

For cultural discoveries, the south of Mauritius also offers a range of historic sites and fascinating attractions. Visit the historic village of Mahébourg, home to the National History Museum of Mauritius, to gain insight into the island’s rich history and culture. Nearby Île aux Aigrettes is a nature reserve that shelters rare endemic plant and animal species, and gives visitors the opportunity to explore the island’s unique ecology.

The holiday was lovely and really relaxing. The hotel left hardly anything to be desired! I wouldn’t describe it as a yoga holiday, though. You can do yoga three times a day, but the classes don’t build on one another.
Hotel
Everything was clean, and housekeeping also came in the evenings to turn down the bed.
Service
They’re constantly looking after you. The staff were always friendly and attentive.
Treatments
We had a massage. It was good.
Food
The breakfast buffet was well balanced, with fresh local fruit. There are three restaurants for dinner. The food was always delicious.
Wellness area
The sauna is small, but adequate. All the pools are lovely and clean.

So relaxed, even though the weather was dreadful. The spa team more than made up for it and looked after us perfectly!
Hotel
A genuine five-star hotel in a great location on a really beautiful bay!
Service
A really great team, so, so, so attentive!
Treatments
Dr Avinash is absolutely brilliant – he knows exactly what you need! His team is excellent, and special mention goes to Dali, the yoga teacher, and Amy, the massage therapist! But they were all great; nobody was below par.
Food
Always the same menu, but with a massive choice!
Wellness area
Very appealing and clean!
