Constance Le Prince Maurice | East Coast | Mauritius

For pure and simple relaxation on the beach, Le Prince Maurice delivers. The impressive marble entrance sets the tone for the rest of the hotel: beautiful, stylish and wonderfully tranquil. Spread over 60 hectares on an isolated peninsula, this stunning property is surrounded by white sand beaches and a calm lagoon.

Perfect for… couples, honeymooners and families alike with activities to suit everyone.

Where… 45 km from the airport and 35 km from the capital, Port-Louis on the northeastern coast of the island.

And the rooms… each of the 76 Junior Suites and 12 Senior Suites have private verandas, living rooms and palatial bathrooms. Nine of the Senior Suites have their own private heated swimming pool and are located on the beach; the remaining three are on stilts overlooking a natural fish reserve - the only Mauritian hotel to have suites built on stilts over the water.

Food and facilities… for the ultimate romantic dinner there try Barachois, a unique floating restaurant with a spectacular setting and delicious food. There are two other restaurants and three bars to choose from and a kids club ‘les petits princes’. The Guerlain spa is an absolute treat and active types can play tennis, squash or try their hand a wide range of water sports on offer.

Activities… golfers can use the 18-hole course at Belle Mare Plage, five minutes away; the water sports facilities are available free of charge for guests and days out exploring this beautiful, tropical island can be arranged.

In the know… while Le Prince Maurice is family friendly, it is a quieter resort and more suited for families looking for a retreat with some facilities for children.
