Le Prince Maurice Mauritius represents a
new generation of 5-star luxury hotels. The concept moves
away from over- decorated palaces towards a fresher and more
relaxing plan of harmony with nature, integrity of design,
and simplicity of décor. The Aman Resorts chain in
Asia, created this spirit now reflected in this, the newest
of Mauritius' superior resort hotels.
The Mauritian Hotel Industry is grateful to PRINCE MAURICE
who created the spice route, thus giving great impetus to
the trade of "divine essences". It is after his
name that our island was named Mauritius, which became the
most favourite port of call of the Dutch, and which later
on became the distribution centre of Asian spices, thanks
to Pierre POIVRE. The allure of the Indian Ocean islands has
grown far beyond the quest for spices, leading to a demand
for more knowledge of this exotic region.

The setup of the hotel, only
88 suites in all includes 60 hectares and 4 beaches, provides
for an unparalleled standard of service and care, uniquely
personal, never familiar. The hotel is spread out along a
sheltered coral sand beach and private lagoon. The suites
are in two categories Senior and Junior. They are scattered
along the pristine beach, in landscaped gardens, on waterways,
and even suspended on site over the lagoon.
Elegant and natural building materials such as marble, wood
and stone as well as an architecture allowing nature,water,
space and light to create an atmosphere of comfort. This concept
truly comes from Asian culture in its art of living embellished
with the Mauritian's smile and hospitality. The service also
depicts a new generation of luxury hotels.
Elegant and unrestrained, the service at LE PRINCE MAURICE
reflects the tranquillity looked for a discerning clientèle.
The Senior Suites are detached villas, each with a conventional
interior bathroom as well as a stylish exterior walled bathing
area, a waterfall shower cascading into a jacuzzi bath, surrounded
by pebble gardens and flowers. Each Senior Suite has a large terrace and a private swimming
pool. Three of them are built on stilts, overlooking the calm lagoon.

| Restaurants and Bars
The entrance to the Hotel features a towering port-cochere,
leading to the central lobby over bridges spanning palm-studded
water displays. A pool stretches towards the lagoon, the waters
seeming to blend one with the other. The Hotel has no reception
area, or cashier's desk - guests are just that, and formalities
are minimal and conducted privately.
Signature shops and a tranquil library lead to an elegant
lounge bar. This, in turn, leads to the restaurant, which
is in three sections; each suspended over the pool, facing
the lagoon. A unique floating restaurant provides serene views
of the lagoon and the mountains against the setting sun, as
guests enjoy freshly-prepared seafoods and grills. |
