JW Marriott Mauritius Resort, Le Morne, Mauritius
Slick, cool, elegant and resolutely welcoming with charm in droves, this luxury family friendly retreat, set in a former sugar baron’s plantation house, has a wealth of exquisite experiences in which to indulge.
Here, the emphasis here is on relaxation and unparalleled indulgence. The setting alone is divine – a bluer-than-blue lagoon lapping against the whiter-than-white Le Morne Beach on Mauritius’ south-western side – but step inside and you’ll find JW Marriott’s signature hospitality and timeless luxury has been recreated with exquisite attention to detail.
The 172 rooms and suites are bliss, ranging from a generous 72 to a whopping 234 square metres, each designed with a mix of plantation-style and indigenous influences. And it's an excellent base from which to discover Mauritius’ authentic culture, immersive experiences and endless activities.
Dining comes in the form of five outstanding restaurants; from the delicious Asian gastronomy at the Floating Market restaurant; to fresh Japanese flavours at Atsuko; via one-of-a-kind Indian fine-dining at Simply India and locally inspired French-Mauritian fare at Le Manoir, so there's something to suit all moods and appetites.
And that's this property to a T: resolutely welcoming with charm in droves – a stellar addition to the legacy of this revered hotel group.
