Le Meridien Ile Maurice

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

A secluded resort with rich heritage and stunning beachfront views that’s ideal for both romantic getaways and fun-filled family trips. If peace and serenity is what you’re after, book a room in the Nirvana wing; a peaceful haven for adults-only, featuring a private pool, bar and intimate beach area. You’ll even receive a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival to toast on the balcony, the perfect way to kick off a relaxing holiday. If you have got the kids in tow, they’ll love the activities on offer at the kids club with water-gun fights, crab hunting and outdoor cinema being just some of what’s on offer. Whilst it will be hard to tear yourself away from the glittering infinity pool, be sure to book one of the many excursions on offer and explore the northern islands and Grand Baie – the concierge will help you to arrange a trip that meets your desires. When you return you’ll have a hard time deciding where to dine for the evening; Paparazzi offers Italian cuisine with the waves lapping against the shoreline just beside you, or you can book yourself a private dining experience on the jetty to celebrate a special occasion (or just because!).

Had a fantastic time in Meridien. Amazing sea views, pools, restaurants, but the staff excel in looking after you. In particular Chaya from housekeeping, Yash the excellent mixologist who gave us an excellent session in how to make cocktails, Ashwin P the brilliant barman who makes a brilliant smokey Old Fashion, Alan from Zoli Mamzal bar, the excellent chefs and catering staff at breakfast and restaurant and from the reservations team Artee, Ivan, Shikesh, Jaya and Sungita. The staff at the Spa were also brilliant, and I recommend booking for a massage. Thanks to Juliano for being a good DJ. The renovations here are brilliant and the rooms look brilliant and modern.
