The island's capital, Port-Louis, a bustling centre of business and entertainment, is only 15 kms from the hotel. It is located 55 kms from Sir Seewoosagur International Airport of Mauritius and only 15 kms from the island's hub, Grand Baie, known for its shopping, restaurants, bars, and nightlife. This hotel stands at the edge of 1,000 metres of sparkling ivory sands on the north-west coast of Mauritius, in the bay of Pointe Aux Piments of the Indian Ocean. Lush gardens create the perfect atmosphere for a romantic getaway. The hotel's 265 spacious deluxe rooms located in the main building offer views over the tropical garden, which leads to the beach and the Indian Ocean. Beyond simple relaxation afforded by the sand and sea, the hotel offers several games, different sport activities and excursions that range from glass-bottom boat tours to snorkelling and scuba diving.
Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, which offers massages, body treatments and facials. After dipping into one of the 2 outdoor swimming pools, you can spend some time at the private beach. Additional features at this resort include complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services and babysitting (surcharge).

I had the most amazing stay at Le Méridien Ile Maurice and honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. From the beautiful white sandy beaches and crystal-clear blue sea to the most breathtaking sunsets, everything was absolutely perfect.
The staff were incredibly humble, warm and attentive, always going above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. The quality of the food and service was superb, with a fantastic choice of buffet dining and themed restaurants to suit every taste.
Special mention to: Dev Raj – Manager of Nirvana Pool and Beach Bar: Thank you for your exceptional service, warm hospitality and attentiveness, which made our time by the pool and beach even more enjoyable. Nalini – Manager at Waves Restaurant: Thank you for making our wedding anniversary dining experience the best! Jerome – Butler Services: Thank you for your outstanding care and attention to detail, always making sure we were well looked after and had everything we needed. Sheila – Housekeeping: Thank you for your hard work, thoughtfulness and care in keeping everything immaculate and making our stay so comfortable
It was a truly unforgettable experience, and I couldn’t recommend this resort highly enough. A little piece of paradise that I would love to return to! 🌴☀️🌊
This resort can be compared to Heaven on Earth. WOW!!! What a find. The beautiful white sandy beach with all the activities is stunning. The layout of the rooms is just perfect with so much space. Everything is spotlessly clean. The amenities, buffet, the Waves restuarant just stunning. Excellent food. The staff were friendly and ready to be of service at all times. The location is superb as you have access to the beautiful beach and bay. There is no noise disturbance at all. Rooms are quiet and therefore allows for adequate rest. This resort is definitely value for money and I would seriously consider returning should I visit Mauritius again.
We travelled as 5 members and stayed for 3 nights. The property is well located with direct access to the beach. The service is top notch meeting Marriot expectations :) The Indian food at Cumin is simply awesome. Everything was well taken care of during our stay and will definitely recommend.
We just returned from an exceptional family holiday at Le Méridien Ile Maurice and can't recommend it highly enough. Check-in was smooth and quick, thanks to Nisha from Guest Services, who was efficient and welcoming. A special shout-out to Jerome Laurent from the butler team. He was attentive, warm and incredibly resourceful, and nothing was ever too much trouble. He truly elevated our stay. The Kids Club team was excellent. Our children were well looked after and had a wonderful time, which meant we could properly relax too. The food was superb. We loved our dinners at Jade and Kumin, and breakfast had great quality and variety. The buffet staff were attentive and friendly throughout. Our room was very comfortable, and the sunset views were simply unforgettable, a perfect end to every day. A fabulous stay all round. We'd love to come back!
A distressing experience and a disappointing lack of compassion
What has been an already difficult and upsetting situation has been made considerably more distressing by the way this hotel has handled it.
A booking was made on a non-refundable, pay-at-hotel basis. We contacted the hotel to explain the circumstances and hoped for a reasonable, compassionate response. Instead, the handling of the situation has left us deeply disappointed and added unnecessary stress at an already painful time.
I fully understand that hotels have booking policies and cancellation terms. However, I believe there should also be room for compassion, sound judgement and reasonable discretion when dealing with a bereavement. Policies should not replace basic understanding and sensitivity, particularly when a family is already dealing with the loss of a loved one.
I have been especially disappointed by the response and lack of reasonable ownership from the General Manager. I would have expected a more considered approach, a willingness to properly engage with the circumstances, and an effort to find a fair and humane resolution. Instead, the experience has felt unnecessarily difficult and distressing.
This is not simply about a booking or a cancellation fee. It is about how a hotel chooses to treat people when they are dealing with something deeply personal and painful.
