When will Mauritius open its borders due to COVID-19?
This topic is not a surprise for anyone. The COVID pandemic had a massive impact on the tourism industry worldwide. Of course, that is the same for Mauritius. Even though the country has been rewarded for their efforts in taking safety measures to keep COVID under control, the infection returned to the island in early 2021. How unfortunate that was after being COVID free for nearly a year! As a result, Mauritius closed its borders again and introduced a new lockdown. In the summer of 2021, they announced a new opening plan that will make you happy! From the 1st of October, the borders are open again, and tourists are welcome with specific requirements.

Best resort in Mauritius – up to €100
1. La Palmiste Resort & Spa in Trou Aux Biches
A perfect pick if you do wish to stay in a resort instead of a hotel, but not on the ‘regular’ higher resort budgets in Mauritius. But, do keep in mind that it will not be the royal experience compared to others shown in this post as it is more budget. La Palmiste offers a wide variety of rooms, making it suitable for couples and families and often has special offers. It does not have a beach directly connected to the hotel. However, from the resort, you have access to some of the best tourist attractions and beaches in the close surrounding. The closest beach is only about 150m away. And did you know that Trou Aux Biches is one of the most popular beaches on the island? If you don’t feel like the beach, you can enjoy yourself in one of the three pools with a pool bar.
Without a doubt, you will have a beautiful tropical holiday with many palm trees in the resort gardens. Due to the hotel being smaller compared to some other massive resorts, you will experience a more personalised service, where the staff will also connect more. Maybe you can even get way more local tips!

2. Zilwa Attitude in Calolyne
Firstly, a four-star hotel in the Northern part of the island with a private beach and infinity pool! The beach is perfectly white with many palm trees around. The view from the beach is just as spectacular with small islands in the distance. This was the first resort on the island where we stayed together, and we couldn’t have picked a better place for this budget. The resort is located in a very peaceful part of the island where you can disconnect perfectly. Without a doubt a romantic place, it is time for just the two of you. If you do prefer to go out, a car is recommended to visit some of the places close by like popular Grand Baie on approx. 15 minutes distance.
However, we can imagine you prefer to stay in the resort. Zilwa confirms: “In Creole, Zilwa means islander, and this is the experience offered to you: an immersion in the heart of authentic Mauritius and an opportunity to live like an islander during your stay in this little corner of paradise bordering the ocean”. Being welcomed by friendly staff, providing incredible service throughout our whole stay. Give yourself a well-deserved break in the spa, several swimming pools or a beach bar. Not just one, no this resort offers 5 restaurants and 3 bars with all high-quality food and drinks! Zilwa Attitude is also one of the best resorts in Mauritius for families due to several activities, entertainment and a kids club!

3. Shandrani Beachcomber Resort & Spa in Blue Bay
If there is one place in Mauritius where our tropical dreams come true, it is in Blue Bay! Shandrani Beachcomber Resort is located in one of the most precious places – a private peninsula of Blue Bay. Shall we make it even more precise? In the middle of the marine park with turquoise blue waters and an incredible underwater world! With waters so blue you will surely enjoy some of the water activities provided by the resort, like water skiing, kayak tours, diving or snorkelling. It is a great place for those who also love some active days during their relaxing stay.
The hotel is part of the Beachcomber group, well known in Mauritius with several resorts around the island. The resort has a variety of packages up to all-inclusive. There are four restaurants available for an international experience, however, a taste of Mauritian cuisine is a must and will be addictive. Watch out haha! Due to the availability of family rooms and kids clubs, this resort can also be classed as one of the best resorts in Mauritius for families. Isn’t it great that the kids have the time of their life and are looked after, while the parents can enjoy some “me time”?

The resort is a superior 4-star resort and went through a big transformation in 2019. The resort had an upgrade to a modern island vibe with a lot of wood and bamboo touches. Just perfect isn’t it?
Besides the fact that Preskil offers a great stay for couples and families, it is also well known for its water activities and direct access to the beach and blue ocean.
