Mauritius Ultra-Luxury — The Finest Five-Star Stays

The island's top tier is made up of multi-bedroom private villas with infinity pools, gardens and dedicated staff, often set slightly apart from the main resort. Expect butlers, private chefs, yacht charters along the lagoon and helicopter transfers from the airport in the southeast, which spare you the long drive across the island. Stay on the east coast for golf and wide lagoon views, or in the southwest beneath Le Morne for mountain drama and seclusion.
