Under a tropical nutmeg tree overlooking a bronzed beach and teal ocean, you may yield to the inimitable wonders of Mauritius. African, Portuguese, Dutch, French and Indians brought their spices and customs to this delectable island off Africa's East Coast. Here pink pigeons lounge in parrot-green palms. Dunes are painted in indigo, lemon and terra tones. Apricot beaches extend to vivid coral reefs. And sun-filled markets overflow with bright fabrics and aromatic spices. Even the fabled dodo bird chose Mauritius as its home. Discover what new sensations you like during your spa vacation in delicious Mauritius.
Situated near Madagascar, in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius hosts 300 species of flowering plants and birds found nowhere else in the world. This abundance of life and color is reflected in the imaginative spa hotels and resorts of Mauritius. And a gem of The Luxury Collection Spas, The Grand Mauritian shines out amongst the island's glamorous spa resorts.
Along the Northeast Coast, you will find The Grand Mauritian Resort & Spa, Mauritius and its sublime Mandara Spa with thoughtful treatments reflective of the island's offerings. The spa's elegant modern décor and many of its eleven treatment rooms are accented with smooth Balau hardwood, volcanic rock and thatched roofs to mirror the warm character of Mauritius. The Spa Villa Suite offers a rasul, steam shower, relaxation lounge and private courtyard. And garden islands float upon the spa's restful reflecting pools. Treatments provide both sensory adventure and uplifting escape. They range from the Mandara Massage, a melting two-therapist technique that applies five international massage styles, to the Mandara's Pure Nature Facial with its fragrant enzymic peel.
And for adventure, try exploring nearby volcanic islands, deep-sea fishing, beach-combing for iridescent shells, golfing in dewy mountain valleys, dolphin swimming or savoring some of the tastiest food in the world. Or if you prefer-just do nothing but absorb Mauritius's rich and varied flavors.
