Luxurious Stay in Mauritius: Five-Star Accommodation Experience

At the opulent Maradiva in Mauritius, Steve Dinneen discovers a five-star retreat that's a frequent must-visit.

Luxurious Stay in Mauritius: Five-Star Accommodation Experience

Swanky Maradiva Resort in Paradise Paradise Island, Mauritius, is all about secluded luxury and celeb sightings. Known for its discrete atmosphere, it's attracted personalities like Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway (no word on any romantic rendezvous, as far as I know!) thanks to its privacy-focused villa design [1].

This all-villa haven boasts 64 residences spread across 11 lush hectares, and it's the only resort of its kind on the island. Get ready to rub shoulders (or not, 'cause privacy is the name of the game here) with some exotic birds of paradise and other dreamy beach creatures [1][3].

The villas are a dream, with plunge pools, dining terraces, and strategically placed greenery to ensure you're never caught with your pants down. You can also enjoy five divine dining options, like the barefoot Beach Grill, the elegant Cassine, the Japanese haven Haiku, and the Indian standout, Cilantro—my personal fave [1].

In 2023, the resort got a multi-million dollar makeover, opting for a light, breezy design that leans more on Mauritian aesthetics and less on the heavy colonial chic—though, the dark mahogany and rustic terracotta elements are still domesticated within the new look [3].

With golf buggies whizzing guests around the resort, you can lounge in a hammock, dip in the ocean or the infinity pool, and indulge in Ice-cold cocktails—all without ever seeing another human face if you so choose. And trust me, with all the privacy this place offers, some VIPs may just be doing that [1].

Peak season may bring some guest interactions, but with the villas' strategic layout, you'll still feel like you've got the whole island to yourself [1]. So kick back, relax, and let Maradiva's luxurious opulence envelop you.

Maradiva Villas Resort & Spa is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. Villas start from €800 per night. For more info, visit maradiva.com.
