About this hotel
General information
Constance Prince Maurice is an intimate resort on the north-east coast of Mauritius, spread across 60 hectares of private and largely untouched land. The setting does the sheltering: dense tropical gardens, quiet white-sand beaches and a calm turquoise lagoon keep the prevailing winds at bay, while a natural fish reserve fringed with mangroves runs along the western side. The resort is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
With just 89 suites and villas under thatched roofs, the grounds stay hushed even in high season. Two addresses define the place: Le Barachois, a floating restaurant on wooden decks above the reserve, and a wine cellar holding more than 25,000 bottles. Constance Spa in a secluded corner of the garden, water sports on the lagoon and the Constance group's two golf courses close by complete the picture.
Location
The resort lies at Poste de Flacq on the north-east coast of Mauritius, 35 km from Port Louis, with Belle Mare beach about 6 km away. Mauritius International Airport is roughly 1 hour 15 minutes by car or around 15 minutes by helicopter. Transfers, including private ones, are arranged on request at an extra charge.
Spa
Constance Spa is set in a quiet corner of the gardens around a stone courtyard with a heated pool. It has five single and two double treatment rooms, a beach spa kiosk, a sauna, a steam room, a cold plunge pool, a thermal pool and a hair salon. Each guest is given a card recording their preferences so that treatments can be tailored. The menu covers Sisley Phyto-Aromatic facials and body treatments, Constance signature rituals with products based on Indian Ocean plants, massages, medical manicures and pedicures, and a 75-minute ritual for couples.

Children can also take kitesurf and stand-up paddle lessons on equipment sized for them. Babysitting is available at extra cost with 24 hours' notice.
