We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Arriving at Constance Prince Maurice feels like stepping into an exotic fairy tale. Nestled along Mauritius’ tranquil northeastern coast, this retreat combines natural beauty with Mauritian architecture and colonial-style interiors. Named after a 17th-century Dutch prince who played a pivotal role in the region’s spice trade, the luxury resort exudes Old World charm and endless intrigue.

The entrance is breathtaking: palm trees sway over winding pathways leading to a thatched-roof lobby with panoramic lagoon views. The property spans nearly 150 acres of immaculate gardens, mangroves and private beaches, offering a profound sense of seclusion. Suites and villas feature warm woods, local stone and scenic terraces, while overwater villas on stilts promise an idyllic escape immersed in nature.

Dine at Le Barachois, the country’s only floating seafood restaurant, or sip cocktails on a candlelit jetty. The Constance Spa offers alfresco treatments, while activities like snorkeling, golf and sunset cruises ensure an unforgettable stay.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Oenophiles can look forward to expert tastings, intimate pairing dinners and post-meal wine and chocolate experiences in the resort’s impressive 25,000-bottle wine cellar.
Choose from 76 thatch-roofed suites and 13 villas, ranging from the enchanting overwater variety to multi-bedroom retreats hidden among the mangroves. For guaranteed privacy, book the Princely Villa, boasting a private beach, two heated pools, three terraces and round-the-clock butler service.
Starting at over 750 square feet, accommodations feature spacious bathrooms with deep-soaking tubs, furnished terraces and elegant interiors that blend Mauritian floral patterns, polished teakwood and a warm, spice-toned palette.
Thanks to a partnership with French skincare brand Sisley Paris, Constance Spa offers an array of rejuvenating facials — perfect after a day or two basking in the Mauritius sun.
Constance Prince Maurice provides access to two oceanfront golf courses — rare for a Mauritius resort — so links lovers can practice their swing without leaving the secluded property.

The Restaurants

Overwater restaurant Le Barachois sets the scene for a romantic evening with lantern-lit pathways winding among the mangroves before you sit down on one of the five floating decks for ultra-fresh seafood paired with stunning Indian Ocean sunsets.
Archipel, the resort’s signature all-day dining venue, serves French cuisine with a Mauritian twist under the watchful eye of executive chef Michael Scioli. Standout dishes include seafood rougaille (a classic, tomato-based Mauritian stew), or chicken quenelles (dumplings) with coconut emulsion.
Savor Eastern flavors in an open-air atmosphere at Asian Restaurant, where dishes like super-fresh sushi and Chinese dim sum are deftly crafted with the finest and freshest ingredients. An inviting bar complements the experience with an array of whiskey, sake and handcrafted cocktails.
For tropical tipples and Instagram-worthy views, head for Laguna Bar. By day, the casually elegant spot offers light bites and refreshing juices. After sundown, it transforms into a trendy eatery with tapas, cocktails and a soundtrack of crashing waves.
Sip sundowners right on the water at Barachois Floating Bar or enjoy classic spirits and a refined indoor ambiance in the Lotus Lounge Bar.
