CITY GUIDE · MAURITIUS
We compare Mauritius resorts by coast first, because sun, wind and swimming conditions differ between the east, north, west and southwest, and then by beach, dining and how much the resort is set apart from the rest of the island.
The east coast suits travelers who want a quiet lagoon and golf: One&Only Le Saint Géran sits on the Belle Mare peninsula on the northeast coast, and Four Seasons Mauritius at Anahita is on the east coast at Beau Champ. This side catches the southeast trade winds more often, mainly in the cooler months from May to October. The north coast is the more lively choice, with Grand Baie's shops, restaurants and boat trips close by, and LUX* Grand Baie is in the town itself. The west coast, where Sofitel Mauritius L'Imperial Resort & Spa sits at Flic en Flac, is generally more sheltered and sunnier in winter. The southwest coast has the most dramatic setting, below Le Morne Brabant mountain, and The St. Regis Le Morne Resort, Mauritius is there, though the area is more exposed to wind for kitesurfing than to calm swimming at some times of year.
Reference rates: nightly, 2 adults in one room, before tax, across four dates a year; from about US$337 a night.
Flic en Flac, west coast · near Flic en Flac beach
This resort is on the west coast near Flic en Flac, on a coast that is generally more sheltered and sunnier in the Mauritian winter. The architecture is colonial in style, and the resort has a spa and several restaurants. Parts of the room inventory were scheduled for a renovation phase starting in March 2025, so we advise asking which room category has been refurbished. It suits travelers who want calmer west coast conditions.

The resort sits on a crescent beach in Grand Baie on the north coast, with Grand Baie's restaurants and boat departures close by. It opened in November 2021, and accommodation is made up of suites, pool villas, residences and penthouses rather than standard rooms.

Belle Mare, northeast coast · near Pointe de Flacq and Belle Mare beach · opened 1975
We find this resort on its own peninsula on the northeast coast of Mauritius, with a lagoon on one side and open ocean on the other. It closed for a full renovation in 2017 and reopened that December with refreshed rooms and suites. It has several restaurants and a spa, and the east-facing position means trade winds can be felt in the cooler months. It suits couples and families who want a long-established resort with plenty of space.

Beau Champ, east coast · near Anahita Golf Club and the lagoon toward Île aux Cerfs
This resort is on the east coast at Beau Champ, mostly made up of pool villas along a lagoon and mangroves. It closed for a seven-month renovation and reopened on 1 November 2025, with redesigned villas and an expanded overwater spa.

Le Morne, southwest coast · near Le Morne Brabant mountain
We place this resort on the southwest coast at the foot of Le Morne Brabant, a World Heritage mountain. It reopened in 2025 under the St. Regis name after a rebranding and renovation, and its accommodation runs from rooms and suites to beachfront villas with private pools. The area is known for kitesurfing, so wind conditions vary through the year. It suits travelers who want a dramatic setting over a purely sheltered beach.
Reference rate: Rate on request (2 adults, before tax) · Perk program: Marriott STARS
It depends on the month. The west coast, where Sofitel Mauritius L'Imperial Resort & Spa sits, is generally more sheltered and sunnier in winter. The east coast, home to One&Only Le Saint Géran and Four Seasons Mauritius at Anahita, gets more trade wind in the cooler months.
The north coast around Grand Baie is the most active area, and LUX* Grand Baie puts you in the town with restaurants, shops and boat trips close by.
One&Only Le Saint Géran on its peninsula and Four Seasons Mauritius at Anahita with its pool villas are the most set apart from the rest of the island.
The southwest coast at Le Morne, where The St. Regis Le Morne Resort, Mauritius sits below Le Morne Brabant, is the dramatic one, and wind there suits kitesurfing.
Each rate is the nightly pre-tax price for 2 adults in one room on 2-night stays, checked on four dates across the year (February, May, August and November).
