Coiled on the untouched coast of Mauritius, Shandrani Hotel seduces with its gorgeous natural assets and forward-thinking. Three private and unique beaches fringed by swaying filaos bound the sublime garden. Those different beaches are at hand, according to your mood: on one side a sparkling lagoon with a bordering immaculate sandy beach, a vast stretch of smooth water for water activities such as ski or kitesurf, and, at the tip of the peninsula, a wild beach ideal for those looking for privacy. The superb Marine Park of Blue Bay opens the doors to a protected and unspoiled marine paradise perfect for diving or snorkeling. Shandrani is also synonymous of original activities, a certified Sailing School, an IKO-certified Kitesurf school and a Diving Centre affiliated to PADI-National Geographic.

The hotel offers a wide variety of leisure, sport activities and a unique ecotourism program. An extensive and complete selection of excursions – through trekking or riding circuits - will allow you to discover the nature of the South East during your holidays in Mauritius. Shandrani is also an open window onto the Southern islets: l’île de la Passe, l’île aux Flamands and l’île aux Aigrettes which preserves the endemic fauna and flora with the Mauritius Wildlife Foundation.

Finally, “Serenity”, an innovative concept, propels Shandrani to being the first 5-star hotel to offer a 5-star “All Inclusive” package in Mauritius. Shandrani is the hotel for those who think outside the square.

Having hosted 3 editions of THE International Kitesurf Event of Mauritius – an event which has enjoyed wide international coverage and has attracted international Kite surf champions from the North Kiteboarding team over the last 4 years - an IKO-certified Kitesurf School was the logical next step for this action-filled 5-star resort.
