So discreet, so serene, so fabulous. From the sparkling azure waters to the spotless white sand beaches and sunny crystal clear skies, everything is simply breathtaking in Mauritius. Then, imagine your vacation address as Hilton Mauritius Resort & Spa—the completely revamped luxury resort will leave you swooning over its inimitable offerings from the moment you arrive. Welcome to the good life. Located on the sunset coast, just under an hour away from the international airport, the beachfront property is flanked by palm trees and beautifully landscaped gardens. After its makeover in 2014, it has only gone from great to greater.

With all the trimmings to keep you amused and luxuriated throughout your stay, whether it’s going for a dolphin watch, indulging in ethereal spa treatments, relishing a gourmet lunch on the edge of the beach or just relaxing in your stylish suite—you’ll be left spoilt for choice. Select from the 193 sea-facing rooms and suites, each with a balcony or patio. The elegant, low buildings styled with modern Asian and Mauritian design create the perfect setting for a dream holiday. And with exclusive access to the beach, guests can enjoy the many complimentary water sports and activities available here.

From wind or paddle surfing to snorkelling and canoeing, you can even ride the waves on a pedalo or catamaran, like the locals would. What’s more, the resort also offers a unique glass-bottom boat cruise and dolphin trip. And for tennis lovers, you can take to the courts, day or night. But if you want hours of utter bliss, the resort’s luxe spa is absolutely exhilarating. Featuring a hydrotherapy bath, sauna and steam, there’s also a private cabin with a whirlpool for the must-try romantic couples’ massage. Another great stress buster are the yoga and tai chi classes available on request. As for the food, Hilton Mauritius has a fine variety of gastronomical delights.

Have an American-style breakfast at La Pomme d’Amour or try their international buffet dinner with a Creole touch. Savour authentic Thai cuisine at Ginger Thai or enjoy dinner under the stars with your feet in the sand at Les Coquillages. All restaurants are open for guests on Half Board & Full Board basis. The resort has three bars, and if you’re lucky you can catch the weekly Indian live performance just after the daily torches saga ceremony. And with state-of-the-art banqueting facilities, if a tropical dream wedding is on the cards, Hilton Mauritius is the only destination to choose.
