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!).

Beautiful beach with the friendliest staff. Rooms were wonderful with a stunning ocean view. The restaurants offered delicious and varying food. Nomad breakfast buffet was good but some of the dinners were a bit lack-lustre. Overall a very good experience.

We had a very relaxing vacation at Le Meridien and was delighted with the property and staff. The staff could not have been more helpful and polite.

We had a very relaxing vacation at Le Meridien and was delighted with the property and staff. The staff could not have been more helpful and polite. We cannot list all of the staff as they were all fantastic from the cleaning service, gardeners , restaurant staff, pool and bar service and room butlers we could not be made to feel more welcome . Aurelia and Cavish our butler service were very attentive and checked in to make sure we were taken care of each day . We had breakfast at Jade restaurant situated in the Nirvana ( adult only area ) of the resort most mornings, it was quiet, on the beach and very relaxed . We were met with enthusiastic and friendly staff every morning with Baboo being a constant happy face. The 4 restaurants are all very good. With a decent variety of options. We chose to go all inclusive which worked well for us. We ate very well and drank a variety of beers, cocktails and wines. Any food or drink not included in the all inclusive is available at a supplement . The resort offers an extensive range of free activities including a glass bottom boat ride , snorkelling, kayaking. We went in June and found the resort and the neighbouring resorts very quiet. We really enjoyed our time here. Bring water shoes if you intend to go in the sea it is very rocky. Read less

The food was extremely yummy! . We tried the lamb, lobster and chicken tikka masala- all of the dishes were wonderfully spiced and delicious. The service was also exceptional! Well done to the chef and waiters - we had a wonderful evening with the family!

I am going to put the worst thing first because I believe it is a health and safety violation. We ate at Nomad over the seven nights we were at the hotel. We saw cockroaches centimetres away from the food on four of the seven nights and brought this to the attention of the staff and management. On the morning that we left we saw another guest… Read more

Exceeded all our expectations. Attention to detail is wonderful. We had excellent service and food at Kumin, Jade, Waves and at the pool bar! Special mention to Vashil on his wine knowledge and recommendations, and Anubhaw for his friendly service. We felt so spoiled. Will be back as soon as we can!
