Mauritius Hotels & Resorts

Nikki O'Hare, Mauritius

As I got on the plane to leave for Mauritius I didn't know what to expect. After seeing so many pictures it was hard to believe that what I had seen of the stunning tropical beaches and beautiful hotels could be true.

  • Nikki O'Hare

Mauritius is a very small island at only 65km long at its longest point hosting 160km of coastline. Hotels are dotted along the entire coastline. With a micro climate and similar scenery throughout, where you choose to stay is usually based on the hotel you like rather than a particular area. There is a lot of talk that the east of the island tends to suffer from trade winds between the months of April and October. In our personal experience it is hard to generalise here. Many of the hotel’s beaches are protected and again with its mirco climate we wouldn’t be put off any hotel or location in Mauritius during the warm winter months. In saying that though, certain things are worth knowing when beginning your hotel search. Click on each region and you will find a brief run down on why you may want to choose one area over another.

North Mauritius - Near To Grand Bay

The hotels in the North Coast of the island would provide closer proximity to the town of Grand Baie, some more than others. There is definitely more life around this area and many of the hotels do look out onto the bay. There are very few golf courses in this area so if you are after golf you need to look elsewhere.
