JW Marriott Mauritius

Formerly a St Regis property, this former sugar baron's plantation house on an enviable stretch of Le Morne will become the JW Marriott Mauritius on August 1, 2021. Its central location on this five-star strip means dolphin safaris and the nearby Black River Gorge National Park are easy to reach. It is dramatically backed by the looming Le Morne Brabant, which also provides a scenic hiking excursion. Kitesurfing is one of the best spots on the island for it, and for a slower pace of life, guests can snuggle into the private cinema, curl up with a book in the library, or be pampered in the Spa by JW.

Guest rooms have been thoughtfully designed to face the ocean, with large picture windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The beachfront grand suites are particularly opulent, with direct access to the powdery sand. While discovering a cornerstone away, the iconic 'One Eye' surf spot for kite surfing adventures, the hotel getaway offers truly immersive experiences and endless recreation activities.
