Shanti Maurice, Mauritius – Contemporary, Luxury and Private.

Shanti Maurice is a boutique lifestyle resort with an award-winning spa, located on the largely untouched south coast of Mauritius.

With exotic gardens, pristine white sands, a sublime spa, spacious accommodation and restaurants brimming with fresh ideas, you’ll find a place and people, devoted to pleasure. Shanti Maurice comprises 61 spacious Suites and Villas, spread across a 36-acre landscape of fragrant tropical gardens. All 17 Villas are located overlooking the Indian Ocean and have private, temperature-controlled swimming pools, outdoor rain showers and dining pavilions.

Shanti Maurice offers extensive dining options, with an emphasis on locally-sourced fresh fare. The resort’s signature restaurant Stars, is defined by its contemporary Cape cuisine.  Pebbles restaurant offers an international menu, influenced by the flavours of India, whilst the Estate’s rustic beach-side Fish and Rhum Shack celebrates the bounty of the surrounding seas.

Nira Spa is built around an enchanting tea pavilion, surrounded by lily ponds and indigenous flower gardens. The treatments reflect the diverse Indian and African heritage of Mauritius and use the multi award-winning African products and treatments developed by Africology.

The resort welcomes couples and families and offers a Kids Club and Kids Activities Programme, with recreational pursuits such as non-motorised water sports, tennis, and arts & crafts including shell-painting, clay-modelling and ‘treasure hunts’.

Guests are encouraged to explore the South of Mauritius, rather than being separated from it. The resort’s concierge is at hand to arrange a huge diversity of local experiences from swimming with dolphins at Tamarind Bay to a tour of the Bois Cheri Tea Factory – which has been making tea for over 100 years – or a leisurely lunch at Le Saint Aubin, a plantation house built in 1819 which has been converted into a restaurant serving classic Mauritian cuisine. For the actively inclined, the South of Mauritius offers a wealth of outdoor pursuits, such as windsurfing, zip-lining and hiking.

The resort makes an ideal setting for a wedding or honeymoon. Exchange vows in Shanti Maurice’s wedding pavilion overlooking the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, or under the resort’s ancient Badamier tree, with a backdrop of lush mountains. The resort can also arrange a memorable wedding reception in the village’s 18th century chapel, complete with a Mauritian choir.
