Le Prince Maurice - 5 Star Luxury Resort

The set-up of the hotel, 88 suites spread over 60 hectares and 4 beaches, provides for a uniquely personal standard of service and care.

The hotel is situated on a sheltered coral sand beach with a private lagoon. The suites are in two categories - Senior and Junior. They are scattered along the pristine beach, in landscaped gardens, on waterways, and even suspended on site over the lagoon.

Each cluster of suites nestles amidst aromatic gardens, providing a haven of  tranquillity. Designed with total respect for the island's heritage, the suites consist mainly of natural materials, especially wood, granite and thatch.

All the suites are spacious, air conditioned and fully equipped with the amenities expected by world-class five star standards.  They feature massive wooden furnishings decorated in colours that reflect the "Spice Route" theme of the hotel.

The Senior Suites each feature a conventional interior bathroom as well as a stylish exterior walled bathing area, a waterfall shower cascading into a Jacuzzi bath, surrounded by pebble gardens and flowers. Each Senior Suite has a large terrace and a private pool. Three of them are built on stilts, overlooking the calm lagoon.

The entrance to the Hotel, a towering portal, is followed by bridges spanning palm-studded waters.  A pool stretches towards the lagoon, the waters seeming to run into each other.

A variety of shops and a library lead to an elegant lounge bar. One of the restaurants is suspended over the pool, facing the lagoon. Another one is floating on the quiet waters, providing a serene view of the lagoon and the mountains against the setting sun, as guests enjoy freshly prepared seafood and grilled specialties.

The fitness centre offers relaxing massages and an outdoor atrium pool, in an atmosphere of privacy and luxury.

Le Prince Maurice provides refreshment and refinement in the midst of a healthy and relaxing environment, on one of the most beautiful islands on earth.
