The hotel

On a traditional 17th-century Mauritian sugar cane plantation, Outrigger Mauritius Beach Resort boasts exquisite Ocean views from every guest room. Life here is pretty laid-back — from no dress code to sublime sunsets. Look deeper and you'll find cultural and historic gems on your white sand-dusted doorstep, including the remains of an old sugar mill. The large stretch of beach which borders the resort has cabanas aplenty and snorkelling, windsurfing, stand-up paddles and kayaking for those more active moments. Back on dry land you'll find some sublime areas to kick back and relax. During the day, The Plantation Club is a lounge with a private pool and outdoor area, exclusively for guests staying in Suites or Villa categories: enjoy a refined à la carte breakfast with sparkling wine, all-day non-alcoholic beverages and a daily cocktail hour. This outlet adds a touch of French colonial class to an already delectable array of bar and dining options. The Club is open to all guests for dinner (upon reservation) and is the island's first fine dining restaurant offering Modern Creole Gastronomy. Mercado Restaurant is another 'must experience' with interactive cooking displays, whilst Edgewater, next to the beachfront pool, offers light lunches and ice cream by day and local dishes, contemporary Eurasian-inspired cuisine, and wine pairings in the evening.

Having just returned from a 10 night stay at Outrigger we would like to firstly say we cannot understand the negative reviews, to be honest we were a bit spectacle before arrival due to the comments regarding service and the hotel, but were pleasantly surprised with the attentive and friendly staff that helped make our trip so amazing! A few highlights: the location of the hotel is absolutely beautiful, lots of green and lush beaches... The smiley helpful staff who always greeted us warmly and remembered our room number/drinks orders. A big thanks to Bevin & all the other bar bleu guys - served our drinks even on the beach and we were never left waiting to order!) and the young lady who showed us our room (she was a trainee). The food choice was extensive and always something to choose from, whether it was from the buffet restaurant, edgewater restaurant or casual bar bleu for pizzas! We had the all inclusive package and would say it was definitely a good choice. We never paid extra apart from 2 night’s when we decided to go to Plantation (but you get 1500 Pp towards this with the AI plan). A few things to improve: Maybe having a larger choice of cheese in mercado. There are a few places around the hotel that are in need of some TLC...due to wear and tear over time, cracked tiles, skirting boards in rooms. But other that we could not fault the hotel and it’s services. Check out time is 12pm, but our airport transfer was not until 7.30, luckily we could still use our food package until 6pm. We were informed we could use the showers at the fitness centre before we left but these are in need of a re furb and there was a que due to there only being 2 showers. Also it’s worth noting that the hotel is more of a chill out place so if you want something more lively with lots of entertainment this probably isn’t the hotel for you. This was our first time in Mauritius and we will defo be returning, thanks to Outrigger and it’s lovely staff for making it so special! Read less

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday at the Outrigger. We pretty much ate, sat on the beach, swam and got some much needed r&r, was the perfect spot for us to get away. Whilst there were a lot of people staying at the hotel, we never had a sense that the resort was over crowded. The service from the staff was excellent and on many occasions management had checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying our stay. I would have to say the food was definitely worth every penny. We were on the all I inclusive package which was really nice not so worry about that. We did have dinner at the plantation club which is a small supplement but definitely a must to do, dinner next to the pool was really beautiful and romantic. Be sure to book a day in advance for this as space is limited. Sipping on a cocktail at the end of the day was amazing and the sunsets are truly spectacular. One area I felt they could improve on was the rooms, a little outdated and the Upholstry needed to be cleaned. The pathways to dinner, to pretty much everywhere is sand and not really a fan of that. Thanks for a beautiful stay. Read less

We stayed for 5 days with our 2 years old. We have stayed so many 5 star hotels of this beautiful island but we never witnessed such a terrible and rude service. Let’s start with welcome, we parked our outside main reception. Present at reception, one staff member gave use ice tea, while we had first sip, we were ordered to remove our car from outside reception so like prisoners, we followed the order and moved our car. The rudest welcome we ever received when we inquired about $300 hold on our credit card while full booking fee was paid. It was explained that some people don’t pay after spending money in hotel and director and GM made this order Because “they cant trust people”. Well , if director & GM have this attitude how can we could trust them.So we did not spend any cent at hotel for lunch & dinner. At breakfast buffet is like prison rule , staff named Keshinee was so rude, we had our 2 yrs old and Keshinee always ordered us to sit in back in dark which our child hated. So it was every morning hassle with Keshinee and requesting plz let us sit in light because Keshinee told us “she will decide where we will sit” Location of room was good and menu at breakfast has so many options .. only very few staffs appeared happy , we must mention Jessica at breakfast staff was very good, Akash at reception and Nancy at room keeping were good. The rudeness of staff and prison like approach made 5 days of our holiday very uncomfortable. This hotel is only for 1 night stay. We raised concerns to GM and she wrote some one will approach us but never happen,, Horrible approach from higher and middle management.. We have be in line for 30min for checkout ,, we will also write to outrigger CEO about this horrible service Read less
