This five-star, all-villa retreat sits on the west coast of Mauritius, spread across 24 acres of native planting beside 750 metres of pristine beach. You will find a freshly renovated hideaway where privacy comes first and every villa has its own heated pool. Earthy tones, natural woods, hammered bronzes and delicately woven textiles set a calm mood that nods to the island's colonial heritage while feeling thoroughly modern.

Every villa is a private pool villa with its own heated pool and plenty of space to unwind. Choose Luxury Pool Villas with garden views, beachfront villas with sea views, or two-bedroom Family Pool Villas for larger parties. Exclusive Beachfront Pool Villas add a 25 sqm infinity pool and expansive living areas, while the Presidential Beachfront Pool Villas offer 345 sqm, a 56 sqm heated pool and butler service. Interlinking villas are available for families or groups.

Maradiva Spa offers Comfort Zone treatments, Ayurvedic consultations, yoga and meditation, plus a sauna, steam room, laconium, chill pool and relaxation pool. The kids club keeps younger visitors busy, while the games room has a pool table, table football, a PlayStation 5 and a library. Water sports such as sailing, kayaking and windsurfing are also available, along with a beauty salon for pampering, with personalised treatments from expert stylists.

You have a spa, a kids club, a games room, an in-house boutique and a local Essentials shop, all within the resort grounds. Transfers can be arranged in a Rolls Royce Phantom or an electric BMW i7, with charging stations on site. Private dining can also be prepared by the chefs and delivered straight to your villa, so you never need to leave your own pool and garden.

You can dine across four restaurants and a bar. Cassine serves refined Mauritian and Mediterranean dishes beneath a double-height wooden ceiling, Cilantro offers evening Indian fine dining with live entertainment, and Haiku pairs authentic Japanese cuisine with a teppanyaki bar. Beach House Grill completes the choice, and Lantana Bar & Lounge pours cocktails by the pool by day, with live music and a DJ after dark.

Tamarina Golf Club is a five-minute drive away, with an 18-hole course designed by Rodney Wright and sweeping mountain views. The Ti Cabo diving club at Flic-en-Flac is about eight minutes from the resort, and suits you whether you want to dive or snorkel. Weddings and honeymoons are arranged by the resort team, so you can celebrate your milestone in the same serene setting.
