Mauritius is recognized for its inexpensive luxury, thanks to a high concentration of four- and five-star hotels, and it has been offering all-inclusive vacation packages for almost 15 years. Most Mauritius hotels provide complimentary watersports, such as unlimited water skiing, paddle boarding, and daily glass bottom boat and snorkeling excursions, as well as complimentary green fees for golfers who stay at their establishments. Four- and five-star hotels can be found in plenty, ranging from boutique adults-only establishments to huge family-friendly resorts. Premium all-inclusive alternatives include superb restaurants, high-quality drinks, and several complimentary extras such as spa treatments. Here is our selection of Mauritius’s best all-inclusive hotels and resorts for your enjoyment.

Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel, Cap Malheureux
This adults-only boutique hotel is the way to go if you want to experience the most romance possible. In addition to exceptional cocktails, in-room continental breakfast and room service, dining in three restaurants, a lunch or gourmet picnic, and a rum tasting, the package also includes a soothing massage and a steam bath. Water skiing, stargazing, and yoga are some other free activities available. The plantation-style furnishings, muslin-draped four-poster beds, littered with flowers, and balconies are among the amenities in the 75 rooms and suites, and all are adorned in dreamy white. Nothing is too difficult for the efficient and compassionate staff at our five-star hotel, many of whom have worked here since its establishment in 1992. The cliff-top infinity pool with views of the northern islands is a fantasy come true.
LUX* Grand Gaube, Grand Gaube
Its remote location near Grand Gaube village in the extreme north of the island allows it to offer an excellent mix of all the island has to offer, including a beautiful swimming beach, gourmet cuisine, a relaxing spa, and a variety of activities, including rides in the resort’s very own seaplane. A design by British designer Kelly Hoppen has developed an eclectic, retro-chic style aesthetic, complete with thatched roofs, soothing whites, pops of color, and cool lighting, among other elements. On seaplane rides over the north coast, guests can watch turtles swimming over the coral, or they can embark on a private island-hopping excursion by wooden pirogue (traditional fishing boat) that includes a barbecue on Ile aux Benitiers. On rainy days, a picture studio offers free lessons (with a fee), and there’s a luxury theatre as well.
Constance Belle Mare Plage, Belle Mare
This modern five-star family resort, daring French-style, spectacularly meets the tropics. Low-rise buildings with thatched roofs are set across 37 acres of tropical gardens between the lagoon and two private 18-hole European Championship golf courses, both of which provide complimentary green fees to hotel guests. Among the other amenities include a spa, four pools (one of which is heated), an abundance of positive water activities like water skiing, glass-bottomed boat tours, and snorkeling cruises, as well as a PADI diving shop. Guests can enjoy the modern furnishings and Apple Mac mini-computers in their spacious 278 rooms, suites, and villas with terraces or balconies. There are seven diverse restaurants, six pubs, and an annual gourmet festival in March.
Zilwa Attitude, Calodyne
ZILWA is Creole for “islanders,” and the resort’s ‘experiences’ include four beautiful pools with palm islands, an open-air cinema, a PADI dive center with its catamaran, and a spa near Ti Zil island. The name “Zilwa” means “islander” in Creole, and the resort’s ‘experiences’ include a taste of island life. Combining traditional Mauritian thatched architecture with contemporary design creates a cool atmosphere. The stunning view of Coin de Mire island slope, which can be seen across the swimming pool upon arrival, adds to the wow factor. As new construction, it readily accommodates both couples and families in the same area, and a central center of restaurants and bars helps make it feel cozy and comfortable.
