Shanti Maurice, A Nira Resort

My stay in Shanti resort was exceptional because of Amal and Sheila. From the very first day, Amal truly made our stay at Shanti Resort unforgettable. His attention to detail, warm personality, and constant smile made all the difference. He welcomed us with a detailed tour of the resort, explaining each facility so we could make the most of our time there — a touch we really appreciated. What stood out most about Amal was his genuine kindness. Even when I wasn’t feeling my best, his positive energy and caring attitude lifted my spirits. He even offered to help with medicine, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Amal always went above and beyond — from surprising us with a flamingo floaty for our private pool (which made for the best relaxing afternoon!) to immediately solving a small issue we had with the laundry service. He made himself available to us through WhatsApp and responded promptly to every request, making everything smooth and effortless. Amal, thank you for making our stay so special. You are truly a star, and we can't wait to come back and see you again! Special thanks to Sheila, one of the incredible spa therapists who helped me with a happy ending to my stay at Shanti Resort. Sheila’s positive energy and warm smile lit up my morning when she approached me during breakfast to introduce the spa offerings. She took the time to get to know me, listened carefully to what I needed after a week full of hiking and snorkeling around beautiful Mauritius, and thoughtfully recommended the Bali package — it turned out to be exactly what I needed. Sheila is the perfect mix of professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. She explained every step of the treatment in detail, making sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the experience. Her intuitive approach and attention to my comfort made it easy to fully relax and enjoy every moment. Sheila, I truly wish you lived closer to where I am — I would be coming to see you every week! Thank you so much for an unforgettable spa experience. You are amazing at what you do!

The place is nice and relaxing, and amazing if you want to get away from life for a little bit, listening to the sound of the waves while sipping a sugar juice. We had an amazing butler - Amal helped us with suggestions, and answered all of our questions - quickly and well. He was positive, and always greeted you with a smile - and an extremely nice and knowledgeable person to talk to.

We spent a delightful 10 nights in one of the villas with private pools, and everything was simply perfect. The staff was incredibly attentive and caring, making sure everyone, including the kids, had a wonderful time. Amal, our dedicated butler, was fantastic he was a friendly and helpful chap who always went the extra mile to assist us. The food was AMAZING, I was really pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of the meals. Vishal and his team at the Rum Shed provided exceptional service, and Steve from the water sports hut truly outdid himself in making our stay unforgettable.

This hotel was our last treat before we left Mauritius after a month long road trip around the island, and the resort totally exceeded our expectations. The overall atmosphere was calm and quiet, the ocean view villa we stayed in felt private. We didn’t feel overcrowded by people because everything was located appropriately, with the right amount of beach chairs and pool chairs, including special reserved chairs for each villa. The service was simply excellent, Amal was our assigned butler for our stay and he truly elevated our entire experience. Amal was very thoughtful and responsive to our requests, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. For example he would welcome us at the breakfast bar each morning, assist us in taking juice/plates back to our table. He also knew that I would be returning the rental car that morning and without being prompted he was waiting for me with an electric car in case we had additional items to take from the car to the room - set thoughtful! We felt very well looked after by Amal, who was always in reach, but also discreet to allow us to enjoy our privacy. It was a perfect balance and we are very grateful to Amal and all the fantastic staff at the resort. We will certainly be back to enjoy the facilities once more and can wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.

Our first foreign holiday post-pandemic, and we headed back to Shanti Maurice after seven years, wondering how much it might have changed in the intervening period. I’m happy to say, it was a delightful and very relaxing trip, just what we needed. We spent ten days in absolute idleness, gazing out at beautiful views from our Beach Front Pool Villa and bobbing about in the pretty large pool that was part of the suite. The villa itself was large and well-appointed, with a spacious sitting room, vast comfortable bed and a bathroom that had both an inside and an outside shower. Service was impeccable, nothing was too much trouble. We had decided to take the all-inclusive option which was good value and meant we didn’t have any concerns when ordering room service or visiting the restaurants. In particular, we enjoyed the Rum Shed for fantastic grilled fresh fish and enjoyed experimenting tasting the incredible range of different rums that were available. Our villa came complete with a butler, Amal, who went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed, including delivering a fresh bucket of ice to the villa late afternoon every day so we had ice for our sundowners, taken sitting in the covered pavilion watching the sun go down and marvelling at the Mauritian flying foxes scooting low over the sea as dusk fell. The hotel wasn’t overrun, it was nicely busy, with couples and families and I would recommend it for anyone seeking a restful holiday. In a peculiar twist of fate, our flight home was delayed - instead of flying back on Friday night, we ended up flying home on Saturday morning, which gave us an extra day’s relaxation, courtesy of the airline. We came home feeling amazingly relaxed, so thank you Shanti Maurice for a great holiday.
