A little bit of Paradise in Mauritius
A truly wonderful week at the Maradiva! The Maradiva is set in a lush private serene and tranquil gardens leading down to a wonderful sandy beach that although public (as all beaches in Mauritius are) feels exclusive and private. It one of the few stays where we felt truly relaxed while also using it as a base to explore the wonderful scenery and culture of Mauritius. The Maradiva is immaculate with wonderful luxury spa and sports facilities. Whether is it a suana and massage, tennis, gym or water-sports, the Maradiva provides it all. Our two bedroom beach villa (301) was immaculate with a marvelous pool and terrace that was perfect situated to catch the sun throughout the day but with shade when required.
And from a food perspective, the Maradiva leaves you spoilt for choice. Casual dining at the Beach Grill, Japanese Fusion at Haiku, Indian at Cilantro, a mix of formal and informal dishes at Cassine or a sneaky burger during the day at the Lantara bar means you will always find something to enjoy. Everything is prepared and presented impeccably. And each morning you get to have wonderful breakfast at Cassine. Plus I cannot forget the cakes in the Villa each afternoon just in time for tea and cocktials at the bar as the sun set. Things to try out - Haiku Teppan, live cooking, such a great experience. Beach Grill - grilled pineapple with chili and tamarind plus the best Cheesy Fries anywhere on the planet. Cilantro - Vegetable and Paneer Biryani was one of my favourites. And at Cassine, try the Pizzette and the Ravioli. Mocktails - Shikanji was my go to mocktail!
We were so well looked after by the whole Maradiva team, from the moment of arrival to our departure. Marianne and Aki were always there on Whatsapp to make arrangements for us. Nothing was too much trouble whether it was restaurant booking, supplies for our boat trip or checking when we had booked spa treatments. The standards of service and cleanliness throughout the hotel are second to none. In our case, Babita and her housekeeping team cleaned our villa with military precision. Praveen and his team at the spa looked after us so well with so much knowledgeable advice on best treatments. Plus also a shout out to Laila who took me and my daughter through our introduction to Yoga which we will be continuing. And thanks to Sherezad at the Gym for always finding us a tennis court. And special thanks to Indar, especially his successful evening mission to locate our missing AirPods case from the beach.
So all in all we are really sad to leave today but I am sure we will be returning again as we have lots more to explore in Mauritius and the Maradiva will make it all the more special.

Not a 5* experience
Good things first: Rooms are spacious and nice. Decently maintained (some niggles like a loose toilet seat but nothing major) and it was overall clean. Strip of beach is nice and long. Now the less good things: Service (inconsistent and slow - people are very friendly but not the level of service you expect from 5*). Service in restaurants is very slow and we waited on some drinks until after breakfast was finished for example. Overall waiting times are long. There are queues at breakfast to get a table sometimes. Someone advertised themselves as our butler but only saw him at breakfast (as his main job is in the restaurant I guess) and never heard from him again. Advertising a butler service is incorrect from what I can tell. Food is a major let down. Quality of food and service. Illustrating this with what is advertised as an hotel specialty (a porridge which tasted like an instant porridge package with nothing on the side). Breakfast is 3-4*. Had better breakfasts in B&Bs in Europe. Ended up going to the same restaurant in the end (where food was more palatable) which became a very boring affair after a couple of days. Overall it had the atmosphere of a 4* hotel in the Canary Islands. Honestly regret having dismissed the East coast hotels (as we were advised the weather over the summer would be much better on the West coast). Would definitely not do it again and if you are after a 5* experience… this is not it.
Excellent resort
Nice hotel Special thank the gym team Imran and Sehrazad for their professionalism, support, and positive energy. You truly made my experience enjoyable and motivating.
Excellent and amazing
It was wonderful experience we had with my family here. The people working in the Fitness center and kids club are very friendly especially Seherazad and Imran, we really appreciate their hospitality here
The most wonderful hotel!
Wow. Maradiva ticks every single box! From arrival where we were made to feel so special by Hema and her colleague, who whisked our two year old off to feed the fish. To our final breakfast where Manish and Akeel provided the most exceptional Mauritian breakfast and champagne. The most important part of a hotel is always how clean the room is made up to be and Shehnaz ensured our villa was perfect every day. It was as if we weren’t even there (which is no small feat when you have a toddler!). The hotel has everything you could possible want. Incredible views, staff who can’t do enough (shout outs to Manish, Akeel & Gavin!), tennis and a good gym (shout out to Imraan who is always on hand to help!), a real luxury feel without being too stuffy, incredible massage service (we both had massages with Rekha). The butler service works seamlessly - we had Aki and Mariame who go above & beyond and always were happy to accommodate all requests! The hotel is located on flic en flac beach, our research told us this was the best beach in Mauritius and I don’t think it let us down! Our villa was located on the beach, next to the main pool - despite its proximity to the bar we heard no noise at night. The best thing about the villas with private pools is that the hotel never once felt busy and all the staff get to know you and really look after you. For example, Senjita always welcomed us with a smile and got to know us all over the days. The second most important thing for us on holidays is the food. There are only four restaurants and we stayed for ten days so after day 4 we asked Aki (our butler) what the options were like for food outside of the hotel. He sent us some options but then also asked us to just say what we fancied. Manish has bought us an incredible Mauritian breakfast so we said we’d love to try more Mauritian cuisine - from then Akeel was able to ensure that whenever we asked for Mauritian food it was delivered - and it was incredible!!! Don’t miss asking for Mauritian food. All in all, we’re already planning our next trip!!
