The hotel

A secluded resort with rich heritage and stunning beachfront views that’s ideal for both romantic getaways and fun-filled family trips. If peace and serenity is what you’re after, book a room in the Nirvana wing; a peaceful haven for adults-only, featuring a private pool, bar and intimate beach area. You’ll even receive a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival to toast on the balcony, the perfect way to kick off a relaxing holiday. If you have got the kids in tow, they’ll love the activities on offer at the kids club with water-gun fights, crab hunting and outdoor cinema being just some of what’s on offer. Whilst it will be hard to tear yourself away from the glittering infinity pool, be sure to book one of the many excursions on offer and explore the northern islands and Grand Baie – the concierge will help you to arrange a trip that meets your desires. When you return you’ll have a hard time deciding where to dine for the evening; Jade is the newest restaurant at the hotel, offering a gateaway to the finest flavours of the East, with some fantastic sake pairings to go with.

I stayed here with my family (husband and two kids) in July 2025. The resort is beautiful! The location, rooms, restaurant, beach, etc. is really gorgeous. We enjoyed our time here, however, I would not stay here again. We found service in the restaurants (which were delicious!) to be slow and almost nonexistent at times. Every morning at Nomad, we had to ask repeatedly for napkins, water and coffee. We had similar experiences at other places. We were also extremely disappointed to venture to the boating cabana our first day to find the first availability for snorkeling was four days later on our last day. Many of these issues were explained away that the resort was at capacity so restaurants, bookings, etc. was limited. I understand full capacity may impact operations, however, as a guest, that really isn't my problem. I find that most five-star resorts are able to appropriately staff so guest experience is not impacted by capacity. Perhaps the oddest experience we had was in regards to our rooms. We had booked connecting rooms (and confirmed multiple times this was a guarantee, not a request). When we checked in, we were told they were at capacity and no more connecting rooms were available. We were very frustrated and the manager told us he'd try to look into it. (We never heard from him again.) Well, we finally get to our rooms and see there's a connecting door - it is just locked! We asked if we could get it open but the person with us didn't know how to do that. The next day we tried twice to get the front desk staff to open the door. They repeatedly said we were not in connection rooms, despite me showing them the photo of the connecting door. We finally gave up as it was not worth more effort. Three days into our stay, housekeeping was outside and noticed us going into both rooms. The woman very kindly asked if we would like the connecting door to be unlocked. We said "absolutely! thanks!" and she unlocked it. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. However, there are many options on Mauritius and I think we try another option that delivered more value for the money. Read less

We stayed a week here in July and this hotel was so relaxing and perfect for a family holiday. The pools and spa area were immaculate and the variety of restaurants were incredible. Our favourite was Jade due to the views of the sea and the food as well as the staff led by Riaz who made our experience amazing. The activities like the snorkelling and the water-skiing and wakeboarding was really fun and other activities like volleyball. The staff at the pool were very friendly and helpful, Darell and Pharell in particular were very attentive and happy to help. The housekeeping team were amazing and the rooms were spectacular always. Bayo was also very kind and friendly when delivering drinks on the beach. Overall, the stay was brilliant and I would definitely recommend staying here. Read less
