This site is first and foremost about Reunion Island, where upmarket accommodation means hotels in Saint-Gilles, villas in Cilaos and mountain lodges (see my Reunion Island accommodation pages). Mauritius is more about the classic 5-star resort: large estates facing the lagoon, private beaches, golf and optional all-inclusive. Here are 5 standout places to stay, from oceanfront apartments to historic beachfront resorts.

Mauritius has one of the highest concentrations of 5-star resorts in the Indian Ocean. An almost unbroken coral reef shelters a wide, calm lagoon on the east and north coasts, leaving room for large hotel estates with private beaches, 18-hole golf courses and on-site water sports. The most prestigious resorts are clustered in Belle Mare (east coast) and around Blue Bay (south-east).

I've picked 5 places on Booking, from €155/night (Eastern Blue, a luxury oceanfront apartment at Poste Lafayette) to €300+/night (the Anantara, Constance, Long Beach and Hilton resorts). 2026 rates checked on the update date shown below.

Choosing your 5-star

Which hotel for which kind of stay

For 5-star comfort on a tighter budget, Eastern Blue in Poste Lafayette is the odd one out: a luxury 3-bedroom oceanfront apartment with a private beach, from €155/night. It's a villa rather than a resort, ideal for families or groups who want the independence of a fully equipped kitchen.

For a full resort experience, the choice comes down to location. Constance Belle Mare Plage and Long Beach Mauritius are the two heavyweights of Belle Mare (east coast, one of the island's longest private beaches, golf and tennis). Anantara Iko, the newer arrival, is in the south-east, with the Blue Bay marine park 5 minutes away. Hilton Mauritius Resort & Spa is on the west coast (Flic en Flac), with easy access to the south-west's top activities.

For relaxation plus golf, Constance Belle Mare Plage is still the benchmark, with two 18-hole courses including the Legend course designed by Hugh Baiocchi. For a stay with children, Long Beach Mauritius and Anantara Iko have the best-organised kids' club programmes.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about accommodation in Mauritius

What's the price of a 5-star hotel in Mauritius in 2026?

Prices on Booking start at €155 a night for Eastern Blue (a luxury oceanfront apartment at Poste Lafayette), the odd one out in this selection since it isn't a traditional resort. The signature 5-star resorts (Anantara Iko Blue Bay, Constance Belle Mare, Long Beach Mauritius, Hilton Flic en Flac) start around €300 a night and can climb to €800-1,200 in high season (December-January, July-August) for premium suites and villas.

What's the best 5-star resort in Mauritius?

Constance Belle Mare Plage is one of the east coast's historic hotels (open since 1975), with two 18-hole golf courses and one of the widest private beaches. Long Beach Mauritius stands out for its contemporary design and one of the island's longest private beaches (1.5km). Anantara Iko is the newest, right on the Blue Bay marine park and 10 minutes from the airport. The choice comes down to which area you want to stay in (east, south-east or west).

What's the best area for a luxury hotel in Mauritius?

The east coast (Belle Mare, Poste Lafayette, Trou d'Eau Douce) is home to most of the long-established upmarket resorts, with a wide, calm turquoise lagoon and private beaches. The south-east (Blue Bay, Pointe d'Esny) is more recent and gives access to the marine park, protected since 1997. The west coast (Flic en Flac, Le Morne, Tamarin) has the sunsets and easy access to the big activities (helicopter flights, kitesurfing, dolphin watching). The north (Grand Baie) leans more towards mid-range hotels.

When is the best time for a 5-star stay in Mauritius?

April to November has the best climate (the dry southern winter, calm seas, 22-27°C). Rates are also 30-50% lower than in high season (December-January over the festive period, July-August during the French school holidays). Avoid January-February (cyclone season, with a risk of cancelled flights or evacuation). September-October usually offers the best balance of price and weather for a 5-star stay.

Are there all-inclusive resorts in Mauritius?

Yes, several of the 5-star resorts in this selection offer an all-inclusive option (mainly Long Beach, Hilton and Anantara Iko). All-inclusive typically costs €80-150 more per person per day, but it covers every meal in the resort's restaurants, drinks (often including alcohol) and most non-motorised water sports. It pays off if you spend 80% of your time at the resort.

Luxury hotel in Mauritius or Reunion Island: what's the difference?

Mauritius means 5-star lagoon-front resorts with private beaches on the east and north coasts, widely available all-inclusive deals, and beach and golf on the agenda. Reunion Island has no lagoon-front resorts on that scale (the narrow coral reef limits development), but it does have upmarket hotels in Saint-Gilles (see my Reunion Island hotels guide), villas in Cilaos and mountain lodges. For a beach-and-relaxation holiday, choose Mauritius. For adventure and nature with carefully chosen accommodation, Reunion Island has the edge.
