The Art of Feeling Good
Wake up at your own pace. Breathe in the ocean air. Listen to your body. Eat mindfully. Sleep deeply. At Shanti Maurice, small everyday gestures become a new way of experiencing a vacation.
In this secluded corner of southern Mauritius, Ayurveda and the ancient wisdom of the East blend with yoga, meditation, holistic therapies, and cuisine designed to nourish both body and mind. Each experience can be part of a personal journey toward balance, guided by specialists and tailored to the needs of each traveler.
Here, we don't count the days based on everything you've done, but rather on
how they've made you feel. And perhaps that is the true privilege of Shanti Maurice: returning home feeling better than when you arrived.
What Makes Shanti Maurice Unique
- 7,500 m² dedicated to wellness. Shanti Spa is practically a destination within the resort: a vast space surrounded by nature where wellness sets the pace for your stay.
- Ayurveda Beyond Treatment. Traditional Indian medicine is an essential part of its philosophy, offering consultations, Ayurvedic therapies, and personalized programs that go much deeper than a simple spa massage.
- Customized Wellness Journeys. Detox, stress management, sleep, rejuvenation, yoga, meditation, and weight management can transform a vacation into a true retreat lasting several days, tailored to each guest.
- Nourishment is also part of the journey. The experience continues at the table with Wellbeing Cuisine offerings, mindful nutrition, and options tied to wellness programs, proving that feeling good doesn't end when you leave the spa.
- Yoga, breathing, and meditation as a daily ritual. Dedicated spaces and sessions make it possible to incorporate these practices into daily life, ranging from a first-time experience to more in-depth programs for those who already practice them.
- The Wild South of Mauritius. Far from the island’s more developed areas, its location in Saint Félix offers something essential to its philosophy: nature, tranquility, and a sense of disconnection. Here, the ocean, the gardens, and the silence are also part of the therapy.
The Hotel
Located in Saint Félix, on the tranquil southern coast of Mauritius, Shanti Maurice Resort & Spa stretches out along the Indian Ocean, nestled among tropical gardens and a sandy beach, in one of the island’s most pristine settings. The resort features 61 suites and villas, spaced out generously to promote privacy and a connection with nature; among them are Junior Suites and one- and two-bedroom villas, many of the latter with private pools.
One of the main highlights is Shanti Spa, a stunning 7,500 m² space dedicated to holistic wellness, featuring treatment rooms, Ayurveda pavilions, yoga and meditation areas, swimming pools, and hydrotherapy and fitness facilities. Its offerings combine Ayurveda, holistic therapies, yoga, meditation, nutrition, and personalized wellness programs.
Cuisine is also part of the experience, with a variety of restaurants and bars offering everything from Mauritian flavors to contemporary and international cuisine, as well as healthy options and menus tailored to wellness programs. In addition, there are private experiences, water activities, tennis, fitness facilities, gardens, and a vegetable garden, along with cultural offerings and a kids’ club.
More than just a conventional beach resort,
Shanti Maurice is designed as a retreat where vacations and wellness can coexist in perfect harmony, allowing each guest to decide to what extent they want to incorporate wellness into their stay.
