Hotel Description
A distinguished member of Relais & Châteaux, this low-rise
resort is hidden away on an isolated peninsula surrounded by three
white sand beaches and a tranquil lagoon. Design-wise there can be
few more beautiful hotels anywhere in the world, the thatched roofs
set off by granite floors and the slate-lined infinity swimming
pool backdropped by an impossibly blue ocean. It's also the only
hotel in Mauritius to have eleven of its suites stilted over the
water and although you can't take a dip in the sea à la the
Maldives, the views from their private terraces are all suitably
tropical.
Otherwise the accommodation is set in gardens overlooking
the beach, the balconied junior suites located in 2-storey
buildings with a maximum of eight rooms each, the senior suites all
individual thatched roof villas with their own private heated
swimming pools. Each one is the last word in understated elegance,
of course, colour schemes taking on a 'spice route' theme, their
natural timbers and polished marbles harmonising perfectly with the
cream linens and natural fabrics. Satellite TVs, CD/DVD players,
mini-bars, Mac Mini Entertainment Systems and pillow menus are
standard comforts.
Dining Information
The restaurants presents guests with a delightful
choice to make, the seafood and local delicacies of the 'floating'
Le Barachois restaurant supplementing the informal lunchtime meals
of the Beach Deck and the à la carte gourmet cuisine of the
poolside L'Archipel. Low-key piano, jazz or sitar music establishes
a suitably relaxing night time ambience.
Amenities
In spite of all the refinements, Le Prince Maurice never forgets
its primary purpose is to serve as a tropical resort, its splendid
palm-dotted beach enhanced by an infinity-edge swimming pool and
the self-indulgent L'Institut de Guerlain. Complimentary activities
include tennis, squash and all manner of water sports, whilst
golfers will be more than satisfied by the complimentary green fees
on the two 18-hole championship golf courses ten-minutes' drive
away at Constance Belle Mare Plage. Scuba-diving, catamaran cruises
and deep-sea fishing are on the menu at local charges.
