Paradise Found: A Mauritius Fam Trip with Elegant Resorts

This month, Val, our esteemed Manager of the Savvi Travel Group, embarked on an unforgettable familiarisation trip to the jewel of the Indian Ocean—Mauritius. Partnering with the luxury travel specialists at Elegant Resorts, this carefully curated journey provided an invaluable opportunity to experience firsthand the island’s most prestigious properties and understand exactly what makes Mauritius such a compelling destination for our discerning clients.

The St. Regis Mauritius Resort, Le Morne

Our journey began at the breathtaking St. Regis Mauritius Resort, nestled at the foot of the UNESCO World Heritage site, Le Morne Brabant. From the moment of arrival, the legendary St. Regis butler service set the tone for an experience defined by impeccable attention to detail and personalised luxury.

The resort’s position on the southwestern coast offers dramatic mountain backdrops and pristine turquoise waters. Val was particularly impressed by the spacious suites, each featuring private terraces with stunning ocean views, and the resort’s commitment to creating bespoke experiences for guests. The culinary offerings proved exceptional, with the signature restaurant showcasing both French refinement and local Creole flavours.

For our clients seeking that perfect blend of natural beauty, world-class service, and sophisticated amenities, the St. Regis Le Morne represents the pinnacle of Mauritian luxury hospitality.

The Oberoi Mauritius

Next, Val experienced the serene elegance of The Oberoi Mauritius, located on the northwest coast at Turtle Bay. This property exudes a different character entirely—one of understated luxury and intimate tranquillity.

The Oberoi’s signature pavilions and villas, many with private pools, are scattered across 20 acres of lush subtropical gardens. Val noted the resort’s exceptional spa facilities and the attentive yet discreet service style that the Oberoi brand is renowned for worldwide. The property’s position offers spectacular sunset views across the bay, and the resort’s restaurants deliver outstanding cuisine in elegant, relaxed settings.

For clients who value privacy, wellness, and a more intimate resort atmosphere, The Oberoi presents an outstanding option that never compromises on quality or service.

Shangri-La Le Touessrok

The trip included a comprehensive site inspection of the Shangri-La Le Touessrok on the east coast, renowned for its access to two private islands—Ilot Mangénie and Ile aux Cerfs, home to Mauritius’s only championship golf course designed by Bernhard Langer.

Val was impressed by the resort’s family-friendly facilities whilst maintaining sophisticated spaces for couples and adults. The property’s contemporary design, multiple dining venues, and the unique offering of island access make it particularly appealing for clients seeking variety and adventure alongside luxury. The resort’s water sports facilities and the famous Ile aux Cerfs golf experience add distinctive elements that set this property apart.

One & Only Le Saint Géran

The final site inspection was a visit was to the legendary One & Only Le Saint Géran, and it was a fitting crescendo to our journey. This iconic property is nothing short of extraordinary.

One & Only Le Saint Géran represents the absolute pinnacle of luxury hospitality in Mauritius. Val loved the property’s beachfront location, world-renowned spa, exceptional dining venues, and impeccable service create an experience that justifies its legendary status.
