A private villa above the reef, a catamaran to deserted islets at dawn, and an island that has spent three centuries perfecting the art of welcome.
Design your Mauritius →Mauritius is not one island — it is several experiences folded into each other. The west coast has the lagoon: protected, calm, the colour of shallow coral viewed from above. The east has the wind and the open ocean. The interior has sugar estates, volcanic craters and a botanical garden that predates the French Revolution. And everywhere, a warmth that is not merely tropical but cultural — the product of a society that has quietly mastered the fusion of Creole, Indian, Chinese and European influences into something entirely its own. We design journeys that move between all of these worlds.
An overwater villa or clifftop estate positioned directly above the lagoon — private pool, direct ocean access, and the particular silence of a Mauritian morning before the island wakes. We know the properties that deliver this and the ones that only promise it.
The islands around Mauritius — Île aux Cerfs, Île aux Bénitiers, the Serpent Island — are deserted for a reason: they are difficult to reach without the right vessel. A private crewed catamaran, a snorkelling stop above a coral garden, a lunch served on a sandbar. The Mauritius very few visitors ever see.
A private visit to a working sugar estate in the highland interior, the Black River Gorges national park at dawn, and a Creole cooking experience in a family home in Grand Baie. The interior of Mauritius is as extraordinary as its coastline — and almost no one from the resort ever sees it.
West coast lagoon to the highland interior — a private circuit of the island that moves between sea, culture and landscape. Adjustable for families, couples or multi-generational groups.
Private transfer from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International. Settle into your clifftop villa above the lagoon. Sunset cocktails on the terrace facing Le Morne Brabant — the mountain that defines the western skyline.
Private catamaran departure at dawn. Snorkelling above the coral gardens of the Blue Bay Marine Park. A deserted sandbar lunch. Late afternoon return with dolphins escorting the boat through the pass.
A guided hike to the summit of Le Morne Brabant — a UNESCO World Heritage site — with a historian who can explain its significance to Mauritian history. Afternoon: watch the world's best kitesurfers from the beach below.
A private 4×4 through the Black River Gorges. Lunch at a colonial-era sugar estate. The Pamplemousses Botanical Garden — 300 years old — with a botanist guide. Dinner at a private home in the hills: Creole cuisine cooked from the garden.
The windward coast: wilder, quieter, a different island entirely. Private villa on Île aux Cerfs or Belle Mare. A final morning on the lagoon before the private transfer back. The sound of the Indian Ocean stays with you.
Tell us whether you are drawn to the lagoon, the culture or the outer islands — and we will design everything around it.
