Solana Beach Mauritius

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Star rating

The hotel

Waiting for your drinks to arrive as you laze on white sands, shaded by a coconut palm. Taking a dip in a lagoon pool among tropical plants and dining and drinking terraces. Stepping out on your balcony to soak in endless sea views before heading out for dinner. This may be the stuff of daydreams, but it’s the true island experience guests come to enjoy when staying at the adults-only Solana Beach. It does deliver a delicious cliché, but this hotel also comes with its own unique twists, like the nod to the sixties and seventies in your spacious guestroom, which is otherwise thoroughly modern. It also gives you the option to do absolutely nothing – or to pack your days with cycling, diving, snorkelling, and even complimentary glass-bottom boat trips, and your nights with island entertainment and meals in three delectable restaurants.

Recently returned from yet another blissful fortnight at the Solana Beach Hotel in Mauritius. Our second visit and it was like returning to family as we got out of the taxi. We soon saw familiar faces who in turn recognised us and made us most welcome once again. Why did we return? It was because Solana Beach is small compared to many hotels and not shiny and bland that you might find anywhere - Solana Beach has soul and a genuine warmth about it that makes relaxation inevitable. The staff make the hotel and I would like to thank them all especially Veena our wonderful housekeeper who kept us spotless throughout and worked so hard for all her guests. Rita and all the staff in the Cinnamone restaurant front of house, Head Chef Zahed and Chef Kumaren and all the behind the scenes staff in catering for the delicious meals with such a huge variety of dishes. Andy, Sentil & Jetin and all the Indigo Bar crew for the gallons of mocktails/cocktails and coffee that kept us well oiled. Usha my masseuse who ironed out the knots in my shoulders - very strong hands for such a delicate lady. Finally but never least Chris, Melena and Adriana in the activities team thanks for keeping me fit teaching me Bocce Ball and being great friends. As I write this Cyclone Garance is bearing down on our favourite island so thought and prayers are with you all that no harm will come to anyone. Read less
