Shanti Maurice, in the unspoiled south of Mauritius, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. We raise a glass to a resort where you won’t just be a guest – you’ll become family. As if tropical-inspired luxury, a glorious setting on a horseshoe of coral sand and an award-winning spa weren’t enough to shout about already, this year Shanti Maurice, a Nira Resort, celebrates its 10th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the iconic resort on the untouched southern shores of Mauritius has unveiled a number of special offerings, while at the same time providing the pioneering combination of luxury, sensitivity to the local environment, and warm hospitality that keeps guests coming back time and time again.
Thanks to one of the resort’s anniversary initiatives, couples who wed at Shanti Maurice Island Paradise package this year can celebrate in style 10 years on, with a complimentary 10-night stay to mark their own 10th anniversary.
Younger guests, and their families, can also take a leap 10 years into the future with the environmental awareness-focused Capsules Project, which invites kids to write letters to their future selves to be sealed in a capsule, buried and opened 10 years later.
Once you’ve set foot in Shanti Maurice, 10 years will feel like a long time to wait until you return. This, after all, is a place where the lush Mauritian landscape blends seamlessly with thoughtfully designed and elegantly appointed lodgings that make the most of local influences and materials. The beautifully landscaped 36-acre resort has 61 spacious suites and villas, each designed for comfort, style and indulgence, from villas overlooking the azure sea to beach-access suites with outdoor rain showers. No wonder Shanti Maurice is the first hotel in the Indian Ocean to become a member of Design Hotels.
You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to restaurants and bars, from Stars, the resort’s sophisticated signature restaurant, to the rustic Fish Shack and authentic Mauritian Rum Shed. Here, too, you’ll find local influence shining through, from locally sourced ingredients to beer and rum from nearby producers.
Shanti Maurice is rightly celebrated for its spa and wellness programmes, and its 10th anniversary year sees the launch of a five-night Holistic Health and Happiness retreat, which balances healthy cuisine, invigorating activities and rejuvenating ayurvedic treatments at one of the Indian Ocean’s largest spas. You’ll leave Shanti Maurice relaxed, fulfilled and blissfully happy – and plotting your next stay at this unique Mauritian resort.
