South African travellers searching for the ultimate Indian Ocean escape have a new luxury address to discover. On 6 May 2025, The St. Regis Le Morne Resort, Mauritius officially reopened, ushering in a new era of timeless glamour and personalised luxury on the island’s iconic Le Morne Peninsula.
Previously known as the JW Marriott Mauritius, the resort has been reimagined under the prestigious St. Regis Hotels & Resorts banner—bringing with it a signature blend of heritage, high-end dining, and unrivalled hospitality, now available just a four-hour flight from Johannesburg.
Set beneath the majestic Le Morne Brabant Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the all-suite resort features enhanced experiences for the modern luxury traveller—from refined Mauritian curries at Le Manoir, handcrafted pastries at La Patisserie, to the famous St. Regis Butler Service for every guest.
Perfect for Mzansi’s discerning luxury market, the resort is ideal for couples, honeymooners, families, and multigenerational escapes. The soon-to-launch St. Regis Grand Beachfront Villa, one of the Indian Ocean’s largest, offers room for 16 guests, multiple pools, and direct beach access—a dream holiday for South African families looking to reconnect in style.
Why South Africans will love it:
- No visa required for South Africans visiting Mauritius.
- Accessible with direct flights from Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban.
- Known for warm hospitality and water sports, including kite surfing at the world-famous One Eye.
- Ideal for family travel, with activities like kite flying, culinary classes, horse riding, and a soon-to-launch St. Regis Pirogue for private fishing or sunset cruises.
Guests can enjoy daily champagne sabering rituals, the brand’s take on Afternoon Tea by the Sea, and even a local twist on the Bloody Mary called “L’île Mary” featuring Mauritian Cane Rhum and masala foam.
Starting at $5,985 for 7 nights in a Junior Suite with breakfast, The St. Regis Le Morne is where indulgence, culture, and the spirit of the Indian Ocean meet.
For South Africans looking for an elevated holiday that blends barefoot luxury with bespoke experiences, The St. Regis Le Morne Resort is set to become a top-tier favourite.
