4 Mauritius Hotels Worth Packing Your Linen Set For

Powdery-soft sand, water the colour of bottled turquoise, and more spas than you can shake a silk robe at — Mauritius isn’t just a holiday, it’s a full-blown main character moment. Whether you’re in honeymoon mode, planning a girls’ trip, or just running away from another grey London summer, the island has you covered with resorts that are equal parts chic and soul-soothing. But where to stay? We’ve rounded up four standouts that tick all the boxes — luxury, wellness, adventure, and just the right splash of “treat yourself.” Shangri-La Le Touessrok: Bliss With a Side of Rum Punch On the peaceful east coast, this one is for beach purists. With four whole kilometres of private sand, you’ll never have to passive-aggressively hover for a sunlounger. Rooms in the Frangipani wing come with balconies overlooking the sea, egg-shaped baths, and little luxuries like L’Occitane products. Feeling extra? Go full A-lister with a private villa complete with your own chef and butler. Wellness isn’t an afterthought here either — the Chi Spa offers dreamy treatments like the “Healing Energy of Nature Retreat.” Foodie highlights include Coco’s for live music and rum cocktails, and Safran for luxe Indian dining. Oh, and don’t miss Ilot Mangénie, their private island that feels like it’s been Photoshopped. JW Marriott Mauritius: Dolphins and Drama (The Scenic Kind) Sitting pretty on the Le Morne Peninsula, with a UNESCO mountain as your backdrop, this resort is old-world charm meets adventure junkie heaven. One minute you’re doing sunrise yoga, the next you’re speedboating past the reef to swim with wild dolphins (yes, it’s as magical as it sounds). Expect colonial-inspired design, endless wellness activities (hello, Pilates and meditation), and a spa with twelve treatment rooms. Watersports are a given — kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkelling — but for bragging rights, try kite surfing or hiking Le Morne Mountain. Four Seasons Resort: Honeymoon If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to live inside a postcard, Four Seasons Mauritius is your answer. Spread across 64 acres (and part private island), it’s never crowded, even when full. The villas are so good you’ll be tempted to lock the door and “forget” to leave — think plunge pools, daybeds, and tropical gardens all to yourself. Wellness is top-tier thanks to an overwater spa, tennis courts, and a Michelin-starred restaurant (Acquapazza) for when you’ve worked up an appetite. The crowd? Expect Prada crochet totes and Chanel sandals by the pool. Honeymoon or not, it’s giving grown-up paradise. Heritage Le Telfair: Where Wellness Meets Colonial Charm Over on the southwest coast, Heritage Le Telfair feels like stepping into a storybook — all colonial architecture, palm trees, and the cleanest air you’ll ever breathe. Their “Wellness Bliss” programme is designed for genuine rest — think tai chi in the gardens, forest bathing in Bel Ombre Nature Reserve, and chakra-inspired spa treatments. The vibe is relaxed luxury: farm-to-table dining at a 19th-century chateau, BBQ sunsets at Gin’ja, and suites with sweeping French windows. This is the place to reset, recharge, and possibly consider never flying home. Final Verdict: Mauritius isn’t just another beach holiday — it’s romance, adventure, and wellness all rolled into one very chic sarong. Whether you’re sipping cocktails at Shangri-La, dolphin-diving with JW Marriott, or chakra-aligning at Heritage, this island proves paradise is more than just a postcard cliché.

Rosé Paints the Town Pink With Her Debut PUMA Collection

Consider your wardrobe officially Rosé-tinted. BLACKPINK’s very own Rosé has dropped her first-ever collection with PUMA, and it’s giving dreamy rebellion meets sporty chic. After signing on as a global ambassador in 2024 (and cementing herself as the internet’s unofficial girlfriend), Rosé is finally serving us PUMA x ROSÉ — a collection that feels personal, feminine, and just a little bit daring. Think oversized basics with a tailored twist, sleek monochrome tones, and her signature “Rosie” wordmark stamped across key pieces. The real stars? Two reimagined versions of PUMA’s iconic Speedcat silhouette — one ballet-inspired with pointe-style laces and another, the Speedcat OG Premium, with bold statement lacing. Footwear that’s equal parts streetwear and stage-ready. The apparel lineup has the best of both worlds: the classic Oversized Track Jacket, Relaxed Track Pants, and Half-Zip Jacket (for your athleisure days) alongside a flirty mini-skirt and edgy mesh tank (for when sporty needs a little spice). Two mini bags round things off, because Rosé knows accessories are never an afterthought. In her own words: “I wanted every piece to feel like a quiet rebellion, something that empowers you to show up as your most honest, fearless self.” The collection launches 28 August on the PUMA website. Get in line — because if history’s taught us anything, BLACKPINK stans don’t play when it comes to merch drops.
