JW Marriott Mauritius Resort
Sitting elegantly between UNESCO World Heritage Site Le Morne Brabant and a stretch of soft white sand leading out into a crystal-clear turquoise lagoon is the stately JW Marriott Mauritius Resort. Housed in a former sugar baron’s plantation house, the hotel embraces its past with colonial-inspired decor, albeit with a contemporary upgrade — think wood-paneled dining rooms serving afternoon tea and wicker steamer trunks in ocean-facing accommodations.
But the design details play second fiddle to Mauritius’ natural charm. Blue-hued views are always front and center, whether from your bed, a poolside lounger or the treadmill. A world-class kite-surfing school helps you take full advantage of those sparkling waters, as does a beachfront cabana for sea-breeze-accompanied massages.
At the end of the day, five stellar dining venues await to provide yet another taste of island bliss — though no one would blame you for ordering room service to enjoy while watching the sunset from your private terrace.
- JW Marriott Mauritius Resort’s location on Le Morne Peninsula makes it a haven for kite surfers thanks to its clear waters and windy year-round conditions. Try your hand at the adrenaline-inducing sport with a visit to the well-known ION Club Prestige kite-surfing school, where you can rent equipment to ride the legendary One Eye, the cleanest windsurf wave in the Indian Ocean.
With 12 treatment rooms, Pure Spa provides a revitalizing sanctuary. Natural elixirs and indigenous ingredients are sourced from the organic JW Garden, which also offers a serene green, relaxation space.
- The best accommodation at the Mauritius hotel is the Grand Beachfront Villa. Tucked away in a secluded enclave just steps from the sand, the expansive nearly 18,000-square-foot space includes four individual villas, three with a heated plunge pool. Inside, you will find a contemporary living room with an entertainment, gaming and sound system, a dining area, a gym with a steam room and an office.
- You won’t have to lift a finger with the resort's butler service. The attentive butlers will unpack and pack your luggage, bring you a wake-up coffee or tea or arrange an island excursion.
Every craving will be sated at JW Marriott Mauritius Resort. Its five restaurants serve everything from the island’s melting pot cuisine to French-inspired dishes.
- Named for Thailand’s famed boat-filled marketplace, Floating Market provides an atmospheric over-water spot to savor pan-Asian cuisine. Wood paneling, stylistic floral backdrops and chandeliers fashioned from bird cages give an air of authenticity to the serene dining room.
- Right on the white sand beach,The Boathouse Aegean Beach Grill & Lounge boasts an island-chic vibe with colorful cocktails, grilled seafood and an open-air dining room.
- Atsuko (“serenity” in Japanese) is a contemporary spot for tempura, sushi and nigiri, washed down with creative cocktails — the wasabi chocolate martini is a particularly unusual concoction.
- Step back in time at Le Manoir Dining Room during a sun-drenched breakfast, afternoon tea or candlelit dinner. Snag a seat on the black-and-white tiled terrace for pool, beach and Tea Garden views, or head indoors for more stately surroundings with wrought-iron chandeliers, dark wood furnishings and historic photographs.
- As the name implies, INDYA serves up spice-fueled fare from the subcontinent. Designed for sharing, selections include chicken malai kebabs, butter chicken and a gulab jamun (a rose-water-flavored dumpling) cheesecake.
