Situated in tourist-centric Flic en Flac, the five-pearl Hilton Mauritius Resort & Spa is one of Mauritius’ most well-appointed resorts, travelers seeking a luxurious, full-service resort getaway can find it here. The design is lovely and blends the indoors with the outdoors. A stunning beach, two pools (one adult-only) with ocean views, an intimate full-service spa, free dolphin-watching cruises, and three restaurants (including an authentic Thai eatery and beachfront dining) should entice guests to never want -- or need -- to leave the grounds. All 193 rooms are bright and contemporary and come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and patios/balconies. Suites add spacious layouts and guaranteed ocean views. Few comparable hotels can compete on price, but Sofitel Mauritius L'Imperial Resort & Spa offers similar amenities and a chic, modern atmosphere.

Set along a peninsula in the far north of Mauritius, the upscale and modern TUI Sensimar Lagoon Mauritius (formerly Blumarine Attitude) is an all-inclusive adults-only resort. Many of its 182 chic rooms feature serene ocean views, and all have air-conditioning, free coffee and tea, and balconies or terraces. This eco-conscious property features a spa, three pools, and four restaurants and bars, including a cluster of street-food carts on the beach under a banyan tree. Snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing, and glass-bottom boat trips to discover the coastal marine habitats are all free, as well as all-day entertainment, like cocktail demos and salsa classes. Families wanting to stay in this part of the island could try Coin de Mire Attitude, a mid-range all-inclusive five minutes up the road.

The five-pearl Paradise Cove Boutique Hotel is an adult-only boutique resort offering exceptional serenity. The resort’s 67 rooms and suites are beautifully appointed with colonial-inspired decor and furnished balconies or patios -- all with views of the hotel's private cove. The cove itself features a sandy beach, but most guests prefer to spend their days on the private peninsula, where there are secluded hangout spots, a stunning infinity pool, a boathouse with free water sports, and a casual beach restaurant and bar -- all overlooking the lagoon and the islands of the north. On land, there are an open-air spa; daily activities, like yoga and bike tours; and three classy restaurants and a lounge with evening music. When it comes to swanky boutique resorts with genteel atmospheres, 20 Degres Sud Hotel is really the only nearby property that can compare, but is located in Grand Baie and lacks Paradise Cove's away-from-it-all quality.

This breezy and immaculate adults-only all-inclusive sits on a beautiful sheltered lagoon near Belle Mare, on Mauritius' east coast. The extensive, upscale property has two main sections, one reserved for peace and quiet and one with animation and amenities -- two pools, three restaurants, two bars, a nightclub, and a spa. With 297 rooms, Ambre is among the largest resorts on Mauritius' east coast. Its sizable rooms have flat-screens, topped-off-daily minibars, and patios or balconies (around 80 percent of the rooms have sea views). For chicer rooms and fresher facilities, adult travelers could look into TUI Sensimar Lagoon Mauritiuson the island's north coast, which was renovated in 2016. Families who want to stay in the Belle Mare area could try Ambre's kid-friendly sister hotel, Long Beach Mauritius.

Mauritius' east coast has no shortage of luxury resorts, but The Residence Mauritius stands out for its turn-of-the-last-century style and quiet and dignified (but still kid-friendly) atmosphere. Its beautiful pool complex, full-service spa, and white-sand lagoon beach are all exceptional. Other amenities include three restaurants, a bar, fitness center, and kids' club with daily activities and late hours. The 163 classically styled rooms and suites come with minibars, free Wi-Fi, and private balconies or terraces (most with lagoon views). Travelers looking for a more contemporary beach resort in the same pearl class might prefer Constance Belle Mare Plage, though note that that property doesn't have elevators.
