Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel & Spa, Mauritius

• Boutique island idylls: Overlooking the turquoise Indian Ocean from its prime spot on Calodyne Beach, the brand-new Sea Diamond Boutique Hotel & Spa is paradise personified. Stroll the soft sands with your feet in the surf, enjoying views of the islets that lie scattered offshore, then retreat to your stylish suite. Accommodations are chic and modern, with elegant colour palettes and a private terrace or balcony for peaceful evening drinks as the sun goes down.

• Heavenly flavours: Prepare for a feast at the hotel’s main restaurant, where themed dinners and live cooking stations will tantalise you and your tastebuds equally. There’s also a gourmet treat to be had at the fine-dining restaurant, which offers international cuisine in a refined setting. Stay refreshed throughout the day with tropical cocktails from the bar, where live music drifts on the salty sea breeze.

• Laid-back luxury: If you’re in need of some rest and relaxation, head to the hotel’s spa village and unwind with a selection of tailor-made treatments and pampering massages. If you’ve got energy to burn, make your way to the fitness centre or try out a yoga class for ultimate zen. Of course, you can always simply kick back by the pool and soak up the glorious sunshine in total peace and tranquillity.
