Property Overview

Set on the northwest coast at Pointe aux Piments, Le Méridien Ile Maurice is a large beachfront resort designed to give families plenty of choice without overlooking guests who prefer a quieter stay. Its 261 rooms and suites extend along the shoreline, with most opening onto a private balcony or terrace facing the lagoon.

The main resort includes family pools, supervised children’s activities, water sports and several places to eat throughout the day. Couples can choose the separate Nirvana section, an adults-only area with its own pool, bar and relaxation spaces. The result is a resort that feels active around its central facilities but still provides quieter corners when a slower pace is preferred.

How far is the nearest beach?

The beach is directly in front of the resort, so guests do not need a transfer or a walk beyond the hotel grounds to reach the sea. Rooms and facilities are arranged along the shoreline, with loungers, water activities and beachfront dining close at hand. The sand is inviting, although parts of the water can be rocky, making beach shoes a useful addition for swimming.
