Boutique lifestyle resort, Shanti Maurice – a Nira Resort,
on the south coast of Mauritius is delighted to announce its membership as the first
hotel in the Indian Ocean to join Design Hotels™. Shanti Maurice joins its two
sister properties, Nira Alpina and Nira Montana in the handpicked selection of
boutique, design-driven luxury hotels from across the globe, that make up the
Design Hotels™ portfolio.
Exemplifying an understated elegance that is revered by Design Hotels™, Shanti
Maurice is designed by local Mauritian designer, Jean-Marc Eynaud, who based its
composition on a tropical model to reflect the resort’s natural surroundings. The
interiors follow a similar theme, utilising a balanced palate of natural materials
including local hardwoods, lava stone, granite, marble and slate.
Adhering to Design Hotels™’ celebration of cultural authenticity, Shanti Maurice’s
signature restaurant, Stars, has launched a brand new cuisine, Aquacasia, which
showcases the traditional homemade recipes from the Indian Ocean capturing each
island’s love of food. The resort’s rustic beachside Fish Shack celebrates the
bounty of the surrounding seas, whilst the Rum Shed built in the style of the
traditional island rum shops, captures the essence of a bygone area, offering a truly
authentic Mauritian experience.
“On behalf of Nira Hotels and Resorts, we are truly honoured to have a third Nira property
join the Design Hotels™ portfolio, rewarding our dedication to personalised service, cultural
authenticity and thought-provoking design,” says MPS Puri, the CEO of Nira Hotels and
Resorts. “This accolade is particularly timeous for Shanti Maurice with 2016 marking the
resort’s ten year anniversary and we will continue to ensure that visitors to the resort arrive
as guests, leave as friends and return as family.”
Frequented by the chic, nomadic traveller, Shanti Maurice is set within a coral cove
on the largely untouched south coast of Mauritius. The resort’s longstanding
philosophy is built on a desire for guests to use Shanti Maurice as a base from which
to experience all that the real Mauritius has to offer.
