Designed by David Edwards and architect Jean Marc Eynaurd, Le Prince Maurice is a harmonious accommodation where Feng Shui principles rule. Named after the pioneer of the spice trade, Prince Maurice Van Nassau, the hotel is warm and intimate with a beautiful spa and just short walk to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.


Location

Set amid lush tropical greenery, the hotel sits within 60 hectares of privately owned land close to a natural fish reserve.  It occupies a remote and leafy peninsula with views of the mountains beyond and just moments from calm, lagoon waters, the Indian Ocean and palm-fringed white sand beaches.

Rooms

Staying true to its Feng Shui principles, all 89 rooms are positioned, designed and decorated to maximise the harmonious atmosphere. Housed in thatched rood structures, the rooms are sheathed in warm orange hues with parquet flooring and beds sitting high above the ground to improve the flow of Qi. Large balconies look out to the lagoon. Some rooms sit on stilts high above the mangroves and some have direct beach access. For an even more spacious stay, try the Princely Villa with its two pools, three sun terraces, a private beach and a personal butler.

Communal Areas

Guests can dine on seafood over the water at the floating Le Barchois. Here, sundowners and mountain views await across a lantern-lit pathway through the mangroves. Enjoy drinks at the poolside bars, Italian fare at the Beach Deck or classic Mauritian cuisine at L’Archipel Restaurant where tall concrete columns direct energy to the centre of the hall. The lagoon-like infinity pool is surrounded by huge cabanas to relax in and warm light throughout all of the spaces harmonises with the surrounding environment to create a tranquil atmosphere and picturesque evenings. Guests can also make use of the hotels wine cellar, which stocks over 25,000 bottles of wine.

Activities

Try paddle-boarding, kite-surfing or water-skiing in the lagoon, go scuba-diving at the PADI Centre and head out on glass-bottom boat rides or Catamaran cruises. For golfers, the ‘Legend of the Links’ courses are just a short drive away and the hotel itself has tennis courts and beach volleyball. For pampering, the U-Spa by Constance is housed in the tropical gardens with treatments by Sisley and celebrity podiatrist Brice Nicham.

Mauritius enjoys a relatively mild climate, an ideal beach location throughout the year.

Generally, the most pleasant times to visit the island are between the months of April and June and between September and December. As Mauritius is located in the southern hemisphere, the summer and winter months are opposite to seasons in Europe.

Summer spans from November through to April. During these months the weather is hot and humid, with peaks in temperatures occurring in the months of December, January and February. Rainfall is abundant, especially on the central plateau. These however normally come in the form of a short if intense afternoon thunderstorm. with longer periods of rainfall quite rare. Cyclones are possible, but they usually manage to avoid Mauritius because of the small size of the island. However, if they come close enough, the bad weather may affect vegetation and certain wooden buildings. Please rest assured that beach resorts have been constructed in such a way as to be able to resist strong cyclonic winds. The summer months are the best for scuba diving – especially December through to March – and for deep-sea fishing.

Winter months fall from May through to October; temperatures are a little cooler and more pleasant during this season, and prevailing winds tend to blow over the island from the east and south-east. Surfing can be fantastic along the eastern coastline from June to August. The shelter offered along the west coast does make sea condition more idea for swimming and snorkelling.
