Shanti Maurice

Opened in 2006, Shanti Maurice is spread across a 36-acre landscape of tropical gardens. All villas are located on the beachfront overlooking the Indian Ocean, and have a private pool, outdoor rain shower and dining pavilion. Accommodations are designed with a contemporary yet timeless blend of Mauritian and African culture and style, capturing the spirit of Mauritius in the use of natural materials and vibrant local art pieces. The resort - which welcomes families and couples - is a soothing escape from the pressures of fast-paced daily living, offering ease and a friendly Mauritian smile.
 
Head Chef Willibald Reinbacher sources most of his ingredients from local farmers and fishermen, utilizing herbs and vegetables grown on the estate. The signature restaurant, Stars, serves contemporary Cape cuisine and a wide selection of South African wines. Pebbles restaurant offers an international menu, influenced by the flavors of India, whilst the rustic beach-side Fish and Rhum Shack celebrates the bounty of the surrounding seas, complemented by cocktails using rum from the local distillery. The Red Ginger lounge bar is the perfect rendezvous for a pre-dinner aperitif or late-night cocktail.
 
The 75,000-square-foot Nira Spa – one of the largest in the Indian Ocean - offers a combination of Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta regimes, as well as Thalassotherapy, aromatherapy and Watsu. The highly trained therapists work alongside nutritionists, personal trainers and Ayurvedic doctors to encourage optimum health and wellbeing. Nira Spa features the Africology spa range, an ethical and natural spa range utilizing African botanicals. Other recreational activities include non-motorized water sports, tennis, and golf. There is also a fitness center with Techno Gym equipment.
 
The Kids Club features a toddler’s pool, games, children’s DVD films, computers, and Wii games, as well as a weekly activity program with fun-filled pursuits to ensure the little ones are entertained.
