Overview

 
A boutique five-star hideaway on the wild south coast of Mauritius, with suites and pool villas spread through 36 acres of tropical gardens. Shanti Maurice is built around wellbeing – one of the largest spas in the Indian Ocean, free yoga sessions and authentic island cooking – making it a peaceful choice for couples and anyone who wants to slow right down.

Sugar-cane fields behind, the Indian Ocean in front and every suite looking out to sea: Shanti Maurice is about space, calm and a slower rhythm. Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa is at Saint Félix on the south coast, far from the busy resorts of the north. It has just 61 suites and villas, all with ocean views, so there is plenty of room on the beaches and around the pools, and the green interior of the island – waterfalls, forests and tea estates – is close by.

Map & location



Saint Félix, south coast of Mauritius

The south coast is the wildest, greenest part of Mauritius, with fewer hotels, dramatic cliffs and sugar-cane fields running down to the sea. Shanti Maurice sits on its own stretch of shoreline at Saint Félix, with secluded beaches.

Inland you can visit tea plantations, the sacred lake of Grand Bassin and the Black River Gorges National Park; along the coast are the cliffs of Gris Gris and the fishing village of Souillac. Chamarel and Le Morne are within a scenic drive.

  • Grand Bassin (Ganga Talao) about 11km
  • Chamarel Seven Coloured Earth about 13km
  • Mahébourg about 26km
  • Port Louis about 39km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport about 40–50 minutes from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU), about 33km away.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


There are three pools: an infinity pool facing the ocean, a larger pool with a jacuzzi, and a spa pool for quiet relaxation.

The resort’s beaches are secluded and sandy. The south coast has more open sea than the lagoons of the north, so take advice on where to swim and snorkel.

• Fitness centre
• Kids’ club with its own pool
• Golf at courses nearby (extra charge)
• Free Wi-Fi

Activities

• Forest walks and picnics in the hills
• Golf at nearby courses
• Visits to tea plantations and Grand Bassin
• Exploring the Gris Gris cliffs and Souillac

Food & drink

FAQs

Is Shanti Maurice good for a wellness holiday?
Yes. It has one of the largest spas in the Indian Ocean and includes three yoga sessions per stay, plus a calm, uncrowded setting.
Where is Shanti Maurice?
At Saint Félix on the south coast, about 40–50 minutes from the airport, in one of the greenest and least developed parts of the island.
Are children welcome at Shanti Maurice?
Yes. There is a kids’ club with its own pool, and larger villas suit families, though the resort is especially popular with couples.
Do all rooms have a sea view?
Yes. Every suite and villa looks out over the Indian Ocean.
Is the sea good for swimming on the south coast?
The south coast has less reef protection than the north, so the sea can be livelier. The resort’s pools are a great alternative, and the team will advise on safe swimming spots.
