Le Meridien Ile Maurice

The luxurious Le Meridien Ile Maurice is located on the sheltered bay of Pointe aux Piments, on the northwest coast of Mauritius. The resort is approximately 1.5 hours from the international airport and 25 minutes from the capital city of Port Louis. As well, the lively village of Grand Baie, with many restaurants and bars, is close by.

Typical concrete blocks of rooms, accented by tropical gardens, are surrounded by the large pool and various restaurants and bars. The property is situated on a long stretch of beach with calm waters for swimming. The Asian-inspired lobby is large in size and decorated with dark furnishings and wood. At the lobby bar, there is plenty of room to sit and relax over a drink and the main restaurant is adjacent to the bar.

A good quality resort appealing to both couples and families alike. The resort is in a desirable location, midway between the capital city and the lively village of Grand Baie. The rooms are in excellent condition, all with a sea view, and the facilities are all you would expect and more. The spa, housed in nearly 900 squared metres, is the perfect spot to relax and unwind, offering all the traditional treatments plus yoga, tai chi and meditation.

The 265 guestrooms have contemporary decor in red, burgundy and white with dark mahogany furniture and French windows leading to patios. All rooms offer a separate seating area as well as a terrace or balcony overlooking the sea.
