Shanti Maurice charms with a magical setting – think tropical gardens, private ivory beaches and a sheltered cove with a rainbow-hued coral reef. Then there’s a choice of palm-fringed pools, a great line-up of restaurants, and Mauritius’ largest spa…
Shanti Maurice is a five-star hideaway on Mauritius’ idyllic south coast, with its own powder-soft beaches and a sheltered cove teeming with marine life. It’s a sprawling resort, spread across 35 acres of palm-peppered gardens. And with just 61 suites and villas, it feels private and secluded. Many of the rooms come with private pools and are perfectly placed to soak up the views of the mountain and ocean backdrop.
The Shanti Spa is a big draw here. The largest in Mauritius, it specialises in Ayurvedic treatments, yoga, meditation, Pilates, and wellness-focused cuisine. Active guests can use the fitness centre, go kayaking, snorkelling or paddle boarding, while golfers have access to the nearby 18-hole Avalon course. When you’ve worked up an appetite, the resort offers a variety of dining options, from rustic Mauritian home cooking to aromatic Asian and Middle Eastern dishes.
Families are welcome at Shanti Maurice, and there’s an action-packed Kids’ Club that’ll keep little ones entertained.
The Shanti Spa has been built around two tea pavilions, surrounded by lily ponds and flower gardens. It covers 7,500 metres – the largest on the island – and is inspired by ancient Ayurvedic healing, with tailored treatments, food, and programmes to suit every goal, from fitness and sleep to meditation and stress management. Therapists trained at the renowned Ananda in The Himalayas resort provide expert care, alongside an in-house Ayurvedic doctor.
The facilities list is lengthy, and includes dedicated treatment rooms, a dosha-specific therapy menu (designed to adapt to your unique body make-up), an Ayurveda garden and cooking classes. There’s also an outdoor pool with a neighbouring Jacuzzi, a lap pool, Watsu pool, AquaFit pool, yoga and Pilates pavilions, meditation and relaxation rooms, a sauna, hammam, and a hair and beauty salon, along with a well-equipped gym, tennis courts and jogging track.
Yoga’s a big deal here, with Hatha, Vinyasa, Aerial, Yin and Bikram all on offer for those who want to find their flow.
A Tourist Fee of €3 per person per night is payable in resort for all international visitors aged 12 years and above.
