Located around a pristine horseshoe coral sand cove on the largely untouched south coast of Mauritius, Shanti Maurice provides guests with access to the sights, sounds and flavours of the unique mix of Indian, African, French and Chinese influences that form the Mauritian culture.

Set in over 36 acres of tropical gardens, with breathtaking views of the hills and the Indian Ocean with its coral reefs, the resort spa is located in the south of Mauritius at St. Felix where the spectacular ocean views are unlike any other traditional beach location. Crystal clear turquoise waters greet you as you step out of your door and graceful wooded hills encircle.

The resort’s philosophy is built on a desire for guests to use Shanti Maurice as a base from which to experience the very best that the real Mauritius has to offer. Shanti Maurice’s genuine wish is that travelers arrive as guests & leave as friends.
