Among many of the other reasons to stay here are the resort’s weekly stargazing sessions hosted by an experienced astronomer, which will reveal to you ancient star systems, extraordinary nebulae clouds, and dazzling star clusters thousands of light years old. The resorts are guided by lasers to pinpoint major celestial activity and constellations, and some guests also use in-suite telescopes and audio guides to enhance the experience.

The wellness offerings at JW Marriott Mauritius are also outstanding, with the holistic Pure Spa providing a serene, nourishing sanctuary in which to unwind and reconnect with mind, body, and soul. Its exceptional facilities include couples’ suites each with a hammam, freestanding bath, and loungers with landscape views, a Swedish sauna, a steam room, and a terrace where you can relax to the sight and sounds of the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile, treatments range from revitalising signature rituals to traditional Swedish massage and Ayurvedic consultations.

You can also take advantage of Mauritius’ glorious beaches and mountainscapes with alfresco picnics packed with culinary treats, including small bites, posh sandwiches, cold cuts, and cheeses.

The resort has skilled, discreet butlers to attend to all your needs –delivering personalised care from arrival to departure, whether it's unpacking and packing luggage, offering a wake-up drink, or arranging thrilling island excursions. You’ll stay in sleek contemporary accommodation in neutral hues, including spa suites with wooden four-poster beds and space for in-room treatments. Larger options are perfect for multigenerational holidays or holidays with friends and go all the way up to a four-bedroom villa sleeping up to 16, with a heated infinity pool and three plunge pools.

And if you are here with children, the Kite Flyers kids’ club (for children age 4–12 years old) and the teen room keep younger guests entertained in the company of new friends, with intentional activities tailored to different ages. There’s also Family by JW, with mindful experiences and fun-filled adventures you can do together, including cooking and gardening.

Last but not least, dining at JW Marriott Mauritius is as exciting as everything else, blending flavours and ambiance from around the world. Start your day with a copious breakfast buffet at Le Manoir Dining Room, where evenings transition to an exquisite blend of French-Mauritian cuisine. Imagine the gentle ocean breeze as you savour island-inspired seafood and grills at the beachfront Boathouse Aegean Bar & Grill.

For a special evening, dine under the stars at the lantern-lit Floating Market, indulging in the complex flavours of Southeast Asian and pan-Asian dishes. You can also treat yourselves to private dining on the beach or jetty.
