Hôtel 20 Degrés Sud - Relais & Châteaux

My stay at 20 Degrés Sud was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had discovered a hidden gem. This boutique hotel is perfect if you're looking for peace, privacy, and a touch of luxury without the crowds. The atmosphere is calm and intimate which made the whole experience feel incredibly personal and relaxing. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to make sure I had everything I needed, always with a smile. One of my favourite spots was by the pool, where you can lie back under the shade of coconut trees and soak in the stunning view of the bay. I found myself just sitting there, doing absolutely nothing, and loving every moment of it. The restaurant was another highlight. Dining with the sea right in front of you was a dream. The food was delicious, and the setting was so peaceful. If you’re looking for a quiet escape with beautiful views and heartfelt service, I can't recommend 20 Degrés Sud enough. It’s a place that stays with you long after you leave.

Just spent 12 wonderful nights at the charming 20 Degres Sud. We had a beach front room with a terrace and it was a joy to be so few steps from the ocean. The beach itself is relatively small but feels spacious and there was always plenty of available sunbeds. The free boat across to Grand Baie was really handy and a fun way to pop into town. We were on the half board package and the food was excellent. There was a good range of choice and we particularly enjoyed the curries. We went out for dinner on a couple of occassions so we swapped dinner for lunch, which was a simpler menu as you would expect, but nevertheless very good. However, the thing that made this such a memorable stay was the staff. The service was exceptional. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and just couldn't do enough for you. The was the case throughout the hotel, from housekeeping, to waterports, to reception, and we particularly enjoyed the service and company of the guys in the bar and restaurant. There are just too many names to mention individually. Overall, this is an exceptional boutique hotel in a great location, and we will defintely be returning at somepoint hopefully in the not too disant future.

This is a lovely, small Boutique hotel in a quiet area of Grand Baie. We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights and only have good things to say about it. We stayed in a charm room which was more than adequate for 2 of us. Good size bathroom and also had outside shower and patio. Beach area is small but private with beautiful views of the Bay. Good facilities included boat shuttle to Grand Baie, free bikes which we used to visit Trou aux Biches and Cap Malheureux, kayaks, paddle boards etc. We were on a half board option which worked very well. Food at both breakfast and evening were excellent with plenty of choice available.On a couple of nights we had a live piano player and a guitar duo who were both very good. Also we had afternoon tea and cake at 4pm daily which was complimentary. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for peace and quiet in a wonderful location. The only slight disappointment was that could not walk along the beach for very far and we felt the cost of drinks was a bit on the expensive side eg cheapest bottle of wine is £40.

My husband & I had 10 quiet nights & 11 super restful, warm & well feed days at 20 Degres Sud. It's in a lovely setting down a quiet residential road ....secluded beach , no hassle from beach hawkers or music coming from adjacent hotels. We stayed in one of the charm rooms.which are one on the smaller rooms but it was the perfect size for us. Besides we didn't come all the way to lovely warm Mauritius to hang out in our room. Loved the way it was decorated in calming blues & white & outfitted with a massive, sexy claw foot tub! Great food elegantly presented. My husband loved the massive steaks from South Africa. The menu isn't huge which is perfect so that the chef can concentrate on preparing a smaller amount of dishes perfectly. Don't miss 4pm tea time. Everyday the was a delicious, buttery cake, pie or tarte a different flavour each day served with your choice of tea or coffee. Had a very nice massage & pedicure in the relaxing spa. It is all indoors and resembles an old beach-side white wash island shack. For shopping the hotel has a small boutique but if you need more retail therapy the hotel has a boat which will wisk you in about 15 minutes to Grand Baie where there are several shopping areas! All in all we had a lovely time! I'm always so envious of people who follow their bliss & live and work & work hard in such a lovely warm setting. Running a hotel is a tough business but you all definitely have something unique. So a huge shout out to the elegant Madame Bourgeois & her partner Michel. The lovely Vic with her great advise! The barman who took care of my husband & keep him happy with drinks! And the maids & cute waiters who work so hard....merci beaucoup! PS Almost forgot.... Definitely....definitely book a night on the Lady Lisbeth.....it was hands down the most amazing night with lobster, prawns, seared tuna, cocktails. Sit out on the boat for your trip across the baie under the stars with love.....truly awsome!

My wife said, "If we had experienced this before, we would have come more often."

That's the best compliment 🫶🏼

The service was outstanding and the food very good. The rooms although very well serviced needed upgrading. We had a wonderful evening on the Lizbeth boat which moored out in the bay. Denis our waiter was wonderful. All the staff did the best to provide for our needs

we were looking for a place to recharge and this ticked all the boxes. Rooms were comfortable. We got upgraded to a ground floor suite and it made our stay just blissful. The rooms are clean and all amenities needed was available with good housekeeping The hotel setting is perfect. the beach is great and we enjoyed swimming in the sea, with good spaces for sunbathing or just relaxing with your book. The food was excellent with so many choices. We hired a Mini Moke and it was great fun exploring.love the area where the Hotel is. My son took a ride on the bikes on 2 occasions and the security was very helpful in giving him tips of where to explore. overall we had a very relaxing, tranquil stay. the Staff were good and nothing was ever an issue they swiftly tended to any issues. on occasion there was a language barrier. sadly we could not do any water activities because of the weather. loved our stay at this hotel. Thank you to all the staff. Great to have met Linley Thomen (Hotel GM)

This really is fine dining. The food here is top notch both European and local dishes. The seafood risotto was outstanding. Service is humble which I really appreciated. Wine list is pricey as you would expect. The rooms are very fancy and tick the beach colonial vibe. I didn't really like the outside spaces, as feel a bit claustrophobic as the complex is quite small. Private beach with great views over Grand Baie

We visited 20° Sud over Christmas 2024 which also included my 70th Birthday which we celebrated with a delicious cake made by the Chef. We loved our room and the delicious food served in the restaurant. We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff, but particularly would like to mention the waiting staff, Navin Salim, Sandy and Rhubesh the Sommelier for their outstanding service as well as the bar staff - Nash, Hemah and Sayen who helped us taste some of the oustanding Mauritian rums, which the bar specialises in. Finally, we would like to thank Anette, who serviced our room beautifully every day.
