Best time to go
Mauritius is a year-round destination, with different seasons acting as the optimum time of year for different activities. However, between April and December, the island is at its driest, and temperatures are slightly cooler than during the southern hemisphere summer.

Beau Champ
This open-concept kitchen takes the form of a contemporary grill featuring intimate settings for both indoor and outdoor dining, and is open for breakfast and dinner. Beau Champ boasts a wine cellar that is home to more than four hundred labels, as well as three outdoor pavilions that can be set aside for private dining by the water’s edge.
Bambou
Serving lunch and dinner, this poolside restaurant offers beachfront dining amidst a relaxed, social atmosphere. At lunchtime, Bambou serves internationally-inspired dishes from all over the world, whilst dinner features the authentic flavours of Mauritian, Indian and Chinese cuisine created by the restaurant’s three specialty chefs. Guests can also choose to attend any of Bambou’s three themed evenings- Zilwa Night, African Night and Seafood Night.
Il Forno
Acting as a club coffee shop in the morning, this handsomely-appointed eatery comes into its own for lunch and dinner. Situated next to the 18th hole of the golf course, it’s an excellent place to refuel after a game or simply enjoy the spectacular views of the course itself. At lunchtime, Il Forno serves Mediterranean favourites and clubhouse classics; in the evening, it transforms into a traditional Italian trattoria.
O-Bar
With its spectacular views overlooking the lagoon and the resort’s private island, this sophisticated bar is the perfect place to enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail or an after-dinner cigar and cognac. Its impressive menu includes fine wines and spirits, and a range of innovative cocktails.
Guest Villas
Each incorporating 678- 753 square feet of space, the Four Season’s Guest Villas are suitable for two adults, or two adults and one child. Each one features its own private garden and plunge pool, spectacular panoramic views, a covered patio and outdoor dining area, a full bathroom, and a private outdoor shower. Modern amenities including satellite television and a Nespresso machine come as standard, whilst the decor of each reflects elegant, understated luxury.
On the resort’s private island, guests may choose between a Beach Villa or an Ocean Villa, the difference being that the former offers lagoon or mangrove views and is situated on the beach, whilst the latter offers lagoon or ocean views and has steps leading directly to the lagoon waters. On the mainland, guests may choose between a Mangrove Pool Villa or a Garden Pool Villa, the former of which offers views of the mangrove ecosystem, making it a haven for nature lovers and photographers; whilst the latter features its own private landscaped garden.
