Shangri-La Le Touessrok, Mauritius

Overview

An icon of Mauritian luxury for decades, Shangri-La Le Touessrok occupies an unrivalled position on the island’s tranquil east coast, set across a private peninsula with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. This legendary resort is spread between two white-sand beaches, fringed by tropical gardens, and connected to two exclusive islands – Ilot Mangénie and Ile aux Cerfs – both reserved solely for guests. Its effortless elegance and reputation for exceptional service have long made it a destination in its own right.

The resort’s rooms, suites and villas are housed in low-slung buildings woven between palm groves and turquoise lagoons. Interiors are a modern homage to island life – think handwoven textiles, soft stone hues, expansive bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to the sea breeze. Private terraces, beach access and butler service add to the sense of escape. Every element of the resort is designed to feel open, light, and in harmony with the surroundings.

Dining spans five restaurants and bars, offering a journey from Japanese izakaya to Indian-Mauritian fusion and toes-in-the-sand grills. The award-winning Chi, The Spa invites guests into serene treatment pavilions overlooking the sea, while the resort’s range of water sports, tennis, and wellness activities ensure guests of all ages are kept engaged. For golfers, direct access to the Bernhard Langer-designed championship course at Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club is a major highlight – combining stunning ocean views with challenging fairways on a private island just a short boat ride away.
