Article: Mauritius Twin Centre Holidays: Luxury Beach & Mountain Escapes
A Perfect 10-Night Mauritius Twin Centre Itinerary
Expertly Designed Luxury Holidays by a Mauritius Specialist
Mauritius consistently tops my list as one of the most exceptional destinations in the Indian Ocean. Warm hospitality, breathtaking beaches, lush green landscapes and an extraordinary range of experiences all sit harmoniously on one island, which is precisely why twin centre holidays in Mauritius work so beautifully.
As a Mauritius travel specialist, I often say this is an island that rewards curiosity. Stay in one place and it’s lovely. Experience two distinct locations, and it becomes unforgettable.
One of the most popular itineraries I arrange for my clients combines a soulful mountain retreat with one of the world’s most iconic luxury beach resorts: Lakaz Chamarel followed by The Oberoi.
A Perfect 10-Night Mauritius Twin Centre Itinerary
This 10-night Mauritius twin centre itinerary combines:
3 nights at Lakaz Chamarel – a luxury mountain retreat
7 nights at The Oberoi Mauritius – an iconic beachfront resort
The result is a beautifully balanced journey:
wholesome to luscious, nature to nurture, stillness to sophistication.
Why Choose a Twin Centre Holiday in Mauritius?
One of the reasons Mauritius is so beloved is its sheer variety. In a single trip, you can hike through forested mountains, discover waterfalls, explore vibrant culture, and unwind on pristine beaches lapped by turquoise waters.
A Mauritius twin centre holiday allows you to enjoy:
· Nature and adventure inland
· Relaxation and indulgence on the coast
· Two contrasting environments without long travel times
It genuinely feels like two holidays in one — which is why I recommend this approach so often.
— First Stop: Mountain Retreat —
Lakaz Chamarel: Exclusive Lodge
An Authentic Mountain Retreat
We begin with three nights at Lakaz Chamarel, a characterful 4-star eco-lodge in the Chamarel Mountains of Mauritius, offering service that genuinely rivals many five-star hotels.
Set high above the south-west of the island and surrounded by tropical gardens, Lakaz Chamarel delivers a sense of calm and connection that’s increasingly rare.
Despite its peaceful mountain setting, the resort is just 15 minutes from Le Morne Beach, with a complimentary shuttle making it easy to combine nature with coastline.
The cooler air, slower rhythm and sweeping views create a deeply grounding experience. This is Mauritius at its most soulful — wholesome, restorative and wonderfully unpretentious.

Hotel Type: 4-star eco-lodge with 5-star service
Location: Chamarel Mountains, South-West Mauritius
Distance to Beach: 15 minutes to Le Morne Beach (shuttle service)

Why Clients Fall in Love with Lakaz Chamarel
Clients frequently phone or email me while staying here, often in the evening after enjoying the elevated ‘View Bar’ which is a standout feature, and the perfect spot for a sundowner with a view.
Frequent favourable feedback includes raves reviews of the exceptional dining, the service being warm and personal, and the setting being second to none.

The Oberoi Mauritius: An Iconic 5-Star Beach Resort
Timeless Luxury on Turtle Bay
After three nights in the mountains, we then step things up a gear with seven nights at The Oberoi, an iconic 5-star beach resort on Turtle Bay, widely regarded as one of the finest luxury hotels in Mauritius.
Located on the West coast of Mauritius, The Oberoi enjoys a pristine beachfront setting with calm seas and some of the island’s most spectacular sunsets, skies awash with pink and deep orange hues.
