Following an acceleration of the country’s vaccination programme, Mauritius has now green-lit phase two of its reopening schedule, which will allow fully vaccinated travellers to enter the Indian Ocean paradise without restriction from 1 October.

To celebrate the news, we showcase three luxury Mauritian properties perfect for incentive groups from our inVOYAGE community of luxury brands…

Constance Prince Maurice

The lowdown
Constance Prince Maurice enjoys an idyllic location on the north-east coast of Mauritius. Set amidst 60 hectares of unspoiled terrain of lush tropical landscapes and secluded brilliant white sand beaches, it provides maximum privacy, making it perfect for incentive groups.

Sleep
The 89 elegant suites and villas are traditionally decorated with wooden floors, thatched roofs, seashell artwork and colourful Mauritian textiles. Junior Suites are located in the tropical gardens by the beach – or on stilts above the tranquil lagoon, while overwater Lagoon villas offer even more space, with a separate living and dining room.

Eat
On-site dining options include Archipel restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and serves fresh seafood and dishes with a Mauritian twist. Feast on fresh sushi, sashimi, and dim sum at Asian, or treat your incentive group to a unique dining experience at floating restaurant Le Barachois, specialising in authentic flavours from the Indian Ocean and overlooking the lagoon with an unspoiled view of a mountain range. 

Experience
Head to the wine cellar to taste some of the 25,000 plus bottles, sourced directly from vineyards across the world. Golf enthusiasts can play the nearby Constance Belle Mare Plage’s “Legend” and “Links” golf courses, while the elegant Constance Spa at Prince Maurice, set in a tranquil corner of the gardens, is the place to relax and rejuvenate. Groups can also enjoy a range of activities on the water from fly fishing, boat excursions and deep-sea fishing, to diving, paddle boarding and kite surfing.

Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury

The lowdown
Royal Palm is located close to Grand Baie on the sheltered north-west coast of Mauritius on a beautiful stretch of white beach, one of the finest on the island. Impeccable service – the hotel has a staff-to-guest ratio of three to one – combined with the traditions of Mauritian hospitality makes this the perfect setting for an exclusive and memorable incentive trip.

Sleep
There are a total of 69 suites with 27 Junior Suites and the remainder made up of Tropical, Ocean, Palm, Garden, Senior, Penthouse, Presidential and Royal Suites. All have views through the lush tropical gardens towards the tranquil waters of the Grand Baie lagoon. The spacious suites are decorated in an elegant Mauritian style with warm colours

Eat
The hotel is home to three gourmet restaurants – La Goélette, La Brezza and Le Bar Plage. Housed on a large terrace overlooking the sea, La Goélette serves creative dishes and gastronomic classics with an inventive twist, while La Brezza, which boasts two terraces just a few yards from the lagoon, focuses on authentic Italian fare. Set under a magnificent badamier tree, Le Bar Plage is a beachfront restaurant that pairs an eclectic mix of international and local favourites with stunning ocean views.

Experience
Situated along the water's edge, the boathouse offers a wide range of water activities, from waterskiing to sailing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, glass bottom boat outings and snorkelling. With eight hotels across Mauritius, Beachcomber has a team dedicated to groups and incentives and can organise treasure hunts, competitions, tournaments, and land or sea excursions that give guests a taste of the true island lifestyle. 

Shangri-La Le Touessrok Mauritius

The lowdown
Nestled on the quiet shores of Trou d’Eau Douce, Shangri-La Le Touessrok, Mauritius is a luxurious private hideaway offering uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean and sandy white beaches from its exclusive accommodations.

Sleep
The 200 rooms, suites and three private villas boast a contemporary island-chic style accentuated by natural indigenous materials and complemented by thoughtful touches of local character. All offer uninterrupted views of the sparkling Indian Ocean.

Eat
From beachside cocktails and grills at Republik Beach Club & Grill to authentic Indian and Mauritian cuisines at Safran and gourmet sushi at Japanese restaurant Kushi, there is something to suit all tastes. For ultimate luxury and exclusivity, enjoy tailor-made menus prepared especially for your group by one of the resort’s chefs and dine under the stars on the resort’s private island Ilot Mangénie.

Experience
Tee off at one of two championship 18-hole golf courses, relax in the luxurious spa or hit the water. Whether you prefer to dive underwater and marvel at colourful marine life while snorkelling, or love to feel the spray of the ocean while kayaking or windsurfing, you are sure to find something to excite your incentive group on the resort’s long list of water sports. Or take over the resort’s private island for a day of beach fun, luxury, and fine food.
