These Are the Best Overwater Bungalows in Mauritius to Book in 2026

Why We Like It: For us a strong candidate for the best luxury resort in Mauritius, the 5 Star Constance Le Prince Maurice, just an hour from Port Louis and its international airport, is a divine slice of paradise and one that boasts the country’s only overwater bungalows. There are just eleven in total though – eight junior suites and three particularly spacious and luxurious water villas – so we’d recommend you book well in advance. Though the height of luxury and beautifully styled we think they have one drawback, that is that they sit over a lagoon fish sanctuary. This means that though it features much interesting sea life, you are not allowed to swim just outside your door. Once that disappointment is overcome though we think these overwater bungalows leave very little else to complain about, and the Constance Prince Maurice in general is a truly fantastic resort. It has excellent spa facilities and a whole host of activities can be enjoyed including water sports and golf at not one but two different 18-hole championship golf courses. Though the resort mainly caters to romantic getaways, honeymoons, etc. children can and do come here too, and the Prince Maurice Kids Club does a fine job looking after them. Overwater Bungalows & Other Accommodation: Constance Le Prince Maurice has 89 suites and villas spread over 150 acres of stunning beach, lagoon, and lush tropical gardens. The overwater bungalows, as mentioned above, sit on the lagoon and are of two types – suites and villas. Both are beautifully designed and furnished in the traditional Pacific style and for us feel incredibly romantic. The only major difference between the suites and villas is their respective sizes. The suites come in at a respectable 753 square feet (70 m²) and have one double bedroom with a seating area, a lovely outdoor terrace, plus some very swish bathrooms. The villas though are over twice the size at 1,400 square feet (130 m² ). Along with a larger bedroom, they also come with a separate lounge/living room plus dining space, a whirlpool bath/jacuzzi in the bathroom, and a soak tub outside on the terrace. Beyond the overwaters the beachside accommodation at Constance Prince Maurice is equally impressive. Their Beach Villas with Pool being especially praiseworthy. You have a 24 hour butler and room service at your disposal  and the service in general throughout the resort is second to none. All the accommodation is offered as B&B, breakfast and dinner included or all-inclusive. There is quite a bit of difference in price between these options as you can see on the booking page but it must be said the food, and the drink (their wine cellar Deep Dive: Read the Review…
