I hope these pointers will help you feel confident that Shangri-La Le Touessrok is right for you any why I love this hotel for my family…
No. 1 – Kids fun!
Most hotels in Mauritius have a kids club but the T-Club is a little bit special – with a daily programme until 10pm offering cool activities like crab hunting, cooking classes and evening discos your little ones will love their time making new friends and can dip in and out as much as they like.
Although it’s not all about the kids club as there is so much to do around the hotel to enjoy together as a family – find Toto, Fifi and Lola, the Aldabra tortoises roaming around, sit back with a kids movie under the stars one evening, play tennis and beach soccer and head out on a boat as a family and explore the ocean. Plenty of water and land sports like banana tubes, stand up paddle boards, water skiing and archery are readily available.
In the evening there is a range of entertainment with live music in Sega Bar, a resident DJ playing a cool mix and live Mauritian dance shows.
No. 2 – Your room
The hotel has introduced new Family Suites which is two rooms joined together, meaning they can guarantee interconnecting rooms for you. So for anyone that would like two rooms and have their children in their own space, this is the perfect option. When booking a family room or family suite, two kids up to 11 years of age enjoy complimentary food and drinks throughout their stay at the resort in any restaurant or outlets including in room dining. Interconnecting means you have a door directly connecting one room to the other which you can leave open or close if you wish. Baby facilities such as bottle warmers, bathtubs and sterilizers are available should you need too.
Not only this but your little ones can enjoy luxury amenities in their room just like the mums and dads. A Baby kit by Klorane, tee-pee tents in the room and kids beach towels are all included and perfect little touches.
No. 3 – Exclusive experiences
Shangri-La Le Touessrok offers a wealth of unforgettable experiences that you can’t get anywhere else. Their own private island, Ilot Mangenie, which is reachable by a regular boat shuttle from the hotel is definitely worth a visit. Enjoy delicious grills and seafood platters from their own island restaurant whilst taking in the stunning natural beauty. If you like sailing then head out on their exclusive catamaran exploring the Grand River Southeast waterfalls, cruise nearby islands with exotic and endemic natural life whilst enjoying a sumptuous lunch cooked for you by your dedicated chef.
No. 4 – for the grown-ups!
Whilst your little ones are enjoying the kids club, parents can head to Chi, The Spa to indulge in some high-end pampering with the much loved brand Biologique Recherche. Dine by design is the posh name for a private romantic dinner under the stars in an idyllic location just the two of you and then why not head to the bar for some Rum tasting. For the athletes, have a tennis or golf lesson at one of their two golf courses with a pro coach or take an eco-kayak tour in the mangroves of Ilot Mangenie or simply head to the Frangipani wing and chill out by the adults only pool.
