Sitting quietly in a picture postcard setting on the island’s famed east coast, Shangri-La Le Touessrok occupies 34 hectares of verdant, tropical gardens and four kilometres of stunning beachfront – the most expansive in Mauritius. Superb, sea-facing rooms, suites and villas spread throughout the mainland resort and the Frangipani islet – connected to the mainland by a quaint wooden bridge. Interiors embody contemporary island-chic style, with sustainable indigenous materials used throughout.

Water sports abound with sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, snorkelling, PADI diving and deep sea fishing all on the menu. There are also stylish restaurants and bars, tennis courts, two championship golf courses, swimming pools and the Chi Spa to indulge in. For those who want to truly escape, the resort’s runs complimentary boat shuttles every 30 minutes to its own castaway island of Ilôt Mangénie. Here you can unwind on a secluded beach and dine on fresh seafood platters with your feet in the sand. The same attentive 24-hour butler service can be enjoyed here as throughout the property.
