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. The services of an external osteopath are also available on request (for a fee).

Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa has a library and a boutique. Tennis, bicycle hire and watersports such as snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and pedal boating (at an additional charge) are just some of the many leisure activities available.

A kids’ club (ages 3–12) and childcare (from 4 months, at an additional charge) are available. The 18-hole Avalon Golf Estate includes green fees, a golf cart, golf balls and a shuttle (approximately 25 minutes, at set times).
Mauritius’s southern coast is known for its spectacular scenery. Its unspoilt beaches, with white sand and turquoise waters, are ideal for sunbathing, swimming and watersports. Well-known beaches such as Blue Bay and Le Morne also offer excellent conditions for snorkelling and diving, giving visitors the chance to explore the fascinating underwater world of coral reefs and diverse marine life.
The Chamarel Valley is famous for its colourful earth and the impressive Chamarel Waterfall, while Black River Gorges National Park is a paradise for hikers, with unspoilt forests, scenic viewpoints and a wealth of endemic plant and animal species.
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.

Der Urlaub war sehr schön und total erholsam. Das Hotel hat kaum einen Wunsch offen gelassen! Lediglich als Yoga-Reise würde ich es nicht bezeichnen. Man kann dreimal am Tag Yoga machen, die Stunden bauen aber nicht aufeinander auf.
Hotel
Alles sauber, Housekeeping auch abends zum Bett richten
Service
Man wird ständig umsorgt, das Personal war immer freundlich und zuvorkommend
Treatments
Wir hatten eine Massage. Diese war gut.
Food
Das Frühstücksbuffet ausgewogen mit frischem lokalem Obst. Abendessen in 3 Restaurants möglich. Es war immer lecker
Wellness area
Sauna klein, aber ausreichend. Alle Pools sehr schön und sauber

Hotel
Echtes 5 Sterne Haus in toller Lage an einer sehr schönen Bucht!

Super tolles Team, sehr sehr sehr Zuvorkommend!

Dr. Avinash ist der absolute Hit - er versteht es genau was man braucht! Sein Team ist excellent und besonders Dali die Yoga Lehrerin ist zu erwähnen und Amy - die Dame für die Massagen! Aber es waren alle toll, niemand ist nach unten abgewichen
Food
Immer die gleiche Karte, dafür aber mit einer Mega-Auswahl!
