Tucked at the base of the stunning UNESCO-listed Le Morne Brabant mountain, the JW Marriott Mauritius Resort is pretty much the dream when it comes to an Indian Ocean escape. Think about powdery white beaches, epic sunsets, and a team of over 400 staff ready to take care of your every need and wish. The resort blends laid-back luxury with polished service — there’s a grand spa, beautifully designed suites, and a range of restaurants serving everything from French to Indian to Japanese cuisine.
Whether you’re sipping a yuzu bellini at the serene Floating Market restaurant or soaring above the island’s famous “underwater waterfall” on a helicopter tour, you’re in for an unforgettable stay. And if lounging in the sun ever gets old (unlikely), there’s plenty more to do: a private cinema, stargazing nights, and water sports like kitesurfing.
This five-star haven is ideal for honeymooners looking for romance, but thanks to its great food options and family-friendly vibe, it’s also perfect for groups of friends and families. So, if you’re ever wondering where to go next you’ve got your first option lined up and ready to go!
Rooms & Suites – 9/10
The resort has 169 suites and villas, housed in charming, traditional-style buildings nestled along the beach and among palm-filled gardens. No need to worry about walking far — you can hop on one of the resort’s chic pink golf carts for a quick ride to wherever you need to go.
There are 15 room categories, starting with the Junior Suite King and going all the way up to the ultra-luxurious Grand Beachfront Villa, which comes with its own private chef and butler. You can choose between ground-floor rooms for easy beach or garden access, or opt for an upper-level suite with a balcony if you prefer more privacy.
All rooms come with a sofa bed (so they sleep up to three), and interiors are creatively designed in soft neutral tones, with wood or tile floors and bathrooms featuring both a bath and a separate shower. For something extra special, seven suites are located in an elegant manor house, complete with a grand staircase, a cozy reading room, and spa-style bathtubs.
Food & Drink – 8/10
Start your morning with a generous and perfectly cooked buffet breakfast at Le Manoir Dining Room, or if you’re feeling extra relaxed, enjoy room service in the comfort of your suite. For lunch, treat yourself to one of the beautifully crafted Japanese bento boxes from Atsuko — they can even be delivered by your butler to wherever you’re lounging on the resort or in your suite.
As the sun sets, the beach becomes the place to be. With the orange sun setting right in front of you there’s a lively atmosphere with a DJ, champagne sabering (yes, they open bottles with a sword), and refreshing rosé cocktails. For dinner, sample the flavors of Mauritius with a shared tasting menu back at Le Manoir, or head to Indya for a creative take on Indian cuisine — including a ten-course vegetarian tasting menu that’s packed with flavor. Later in the evening, Le Morne Lounge often hosts live music and dancing, making it a great way to wrap up the day!
What Else Is There? – 9/10
The Pure Spa is a real standout.It’s perfect to start your day. It’s spacious and serene, offering 12 treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room, and even a dedicated men’s salon. Whether you’re looking for a traditional Ayurvedic massage, a romantic couple’s treatment, or a glow-boosting 90-minute facial, there’s something for everyone.
Families are well looked after too. The Kite Flyers Club is open until 10pm and offers free daily activities for kids aged 4 to 12. There are also fun group options like cooking classes and gardening as part of the Family by JW program. Active guests can enjoy two swimming pools, a tennis court, a fully equipped gym, and complimentary activities like yoga on the beach, windsurfing, and waterskiing.
Location – 9/10
Set in the southwest of Mauritius, the resort sits right beside Le Morne Brabant, a dramatic 556m (1,824ft) mountain that’s also a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s a striking backdrop for your stay — and you can even hike to the top if you’re feeling adventurous.
The beach here is spectacular, especially at sunset, and the area is known for great wind and kitesurfing (best from May to October). Explore the scenic peninsula by electric bike or hop on a catamaran cruise. For a nature fix, head 15 miles inland to Black River Gorges National Park, the island’s largest. Just note: it takes about 90 minutes to reach the resort from the airport, so settle in for a scenic drive.
