Review: The St. Regis, Le Morne Resort, Mauritius
A sophisticated five-star luxury beach hotel in Mauritius, The St. Regis Mauritius Resort is an address that blends colonial grace with contemporary refinement, where impeccable service, striking natural beauty, and thoughtful detail come together in a symphony of tropical elegance.
Situated on the coveted Le Morne Peninsula, the resort enjoys a glorious beachfront setting. This is Mauritius at its most poetic, where nature and nurture exist in perfect harmony.
On the south-western tip of the island, where the iconic silhouette of Le Morne Brabant rises above the horizon, the resort unfolds with a natural elegance that is both timeless and distinctly refined. Framed by powder-soft white sands and lush tropical gardens, it is a sanctuary designed for restoration, intimacy and quiet indulgence. Here, barefoot sophistication meets colonial-era charm; every element has been carefully curated, and every moment feels deeply considered.

Accommodation at St. Regis Mauritius is designed to soothe and inspire. The all-suite, all-butler resort offers an understated interpretation of island luxury, with plantation shutters, bespoke timber furnishings, and a muted coastal palette lending each space a calm, grounded aesthetic.
Whether you’re nestled in a Junior Suite just steps from the sea or indulging in the lavish seclusion of the Grand Beachfront Villa (the largest hotel villa in the Indian Ocean) privacy and comfort are assured. This extraordinary villa, designed for up to eight adults and eight children, is a masterclass in private villa accommodation in Mauritius, complete with four independent suites, refined living spaces, and the discreet attentiveness of a personal butler who ensures every need is anticipated with graceful precision.
The hallmark butler service at St. Regis is as effortless as it is discreet. From unpacking (and packing) suitcases to preparing a candlelit bath at sunset, the gestures are quiet, intuitive, and feel undeniably luxurious. It is this unwavering attention to detail that elevates the experience from exceptional to truly memorable.
Dining, meanwhile, is a celebration of global gastronomy, grounded in Mauritian provenance. The resort is home to five distinct restaurants and bars, each offering a different perspective on flavour.
At Le Manoir Dining Room, local ingredients are treated with culinary finesse, delivering a delicate interplay of texture and taste that honours the island’s rich heritage.
Atsuko presents Japanese cuisine with understated elegance…
while the bold spices of Simply India speak to the subcontinent’s vibrant culinary legacy.
La Pâtisserie, a more recent addition, offers a lighter indulgence, island-inspired pastries, fine teas and speciality coffee served in an airy, light-filled setting ideal for languid mornings.
For guests in search of serenity, the Pure Spa offers one of the island’s most refined wellness experiences. Spanning two levels, it features twelve treatment rooms, including private couples’ suites, a traditional hammam, sauna, steam room, and a beautifully appointed hair and beauty salon. The treatment menu focuses on a meaningful escape: rituals designed not only to relax, but to restore.
The adjoining fitness centre, equipped with state-of-the-art Technogym machines and complimentary group classes, provides an opportunity to maintain wellness while immersed in paradise.
Water-based activities are extensive and thoughtfully curated. From complimentary snorkelling, windsurfing and glass-bottom boat rides to kayaking and waterskiing, the resort makes full use of its prime lagoon location.
For those with a spirit of adventure, scuba diving, kite surfing and big-game fishing are also available at an additional cost, delivering the kind of marine experiences that make Mauritius a world-class destination for ocean lovers.
Families are graciously welcomed. The Kite Flyers Club is open daily for children aged 4 to 12, offering a curated programme of activities designed to foster creativity, discovery and a deeper connection to the island’s nature and traditions. Run by a team of experienced and attentive childcare professionals, it ensures that younger guests feel just as indulged as the adults. For families with infants and toddlers, babysitting services are also available for a supplemental fee.
“The colonial-style accommodation is truly remarkable, some of the most beautifully appointed rooms I’ve encountered, each spacious and thoughtfully decorated with a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. ”
What sets The St. Regis apart, however, is not just its facilities or its faultless location, but the way it makes you feel. Though expansive in scale, the resort never feels impersonal. Meandering paths fringed by palms throughout the grounds create an enveloping sense of intimacy. This is a resort that quietly understands its guests, where luxury is not declared, but deeply felt.
For those seeking a luxury beach holiday in Mauritius that goes beyond conventional five-star credentials, The St. Regis Mauritius Resort is a rare find; a place where time slows, senses awaken, and the essence of refined island living is brought beautifully to life.
