Holiday accommodation in Mauritius

The general picture of holiday accommodation in Mauritius is constantly changing, as Mauritius is adapting to the fast expanding holiday industry. Although Mauritius is still at an early stage of its development as a tourism destination, it enjoys a well-established reputation as far as accommodation or rather hospitality is concerned.

From the few exclusive hotels of the 80's and earlier, Mauritius had a fast expanding hotel industry in the 90's, all capitalising on the Sea, Sand & Sun concept. Private beach villas also played an important role, although their rentals were mostly on an informal basis, directed towards repeaters.

Since the turn of the century, we witnessed a consolidation of the hotel industry with greater professionalism in all respects, a wider range of services and leisure activities and a higher rate of occupancy. In parallel, the offer of other types of holiday accommodations, namely self-catering accommodation and private beach villas also increased. The non-hotel accommodations became important partners of the industry and the authorities concerned started implementing regulations and quality standard requirements.

Guest houses and Bed & Breakfast units are the last ones to hop on the train and are now in the band wagon. They had an excellent start in terms of quality. Encouraged by the long awaited "liberalisation" of air access, guest houses should hopefully make-up the "next generation," at a moment where the higher segment of the tourism market is looking in the direction of small-scale accommodation units and truly personalised service.
