Tucked between Le Morne Mountain and one of Mauritius’ most beautiful beaches, Le Paradis borders the largest lagoon on the island, covering an impressive 150-hectare site.

This is the ultimate 5-star resort, with seven superb restaurants, two spas by Clarins and an excellent 18 hole golf course. Rattan furniture and a marine-themed décor lend a languid charm to the 280 rooms and suites. There are 12 luxury villas too, and one four-bedroom presidential suite.
