Shanti Maurice A Nira Resort Chemin Grenier Savanne
Locally designed, built with local materials, and serving up local seafood and rum, Shanti Maurice provides an authentic Mauritius experience all wrapped up in an uncomplicated, chic package. Seemingly cut from some sexy Hollywood fantasy of Mauritius, Shanti Maurice manages to keep things real while looking flawless. A myriad of pleasures sit at the ready, ranging from core-twisting kayaking on the Indian Ocean, to challenging-yet-approachable golf at the South African-designed Le Golf du Chateau. That's not to mention the Nira spa, where guests can limber up (physically and mentally) with yoga, massage, and meditation.
122 rooms, suites, and villas range in size from the 870 sq. ft. Junior Ocean View Suites, to the massive 8,611 sq. ft. Presidential Villa (also fit for dictators, kings, queens, sultans, etc.) Interiors are filled with natural elements including local hardwoods, granite, marble, and slate. South African dishes reign supreme at the resort's flagship restaurant, Stars. For something a bit lighter, visit Pebbles for a Creole-spiced salad. Red Ginger is the place to be for anytime cocktails, and the Fish and Rhum Shack serves rustic barbecued fish and locally-distilled rum with a smile.For a glimpse of the real Mauritius at its very best, travellers need only set a course for Shanti Maurice. Bon voyage.
