Mauritius, a sparkling gem in the Indian Ocean, welcomes guests to her beautiful shores all year round. Traditionally a leisure tourism island, Mauritius is gaining popularity among business travellers and is now a highly sought after meeting and conference destination.

There are many hotels and resorts on the island, but one that certainly stands out is the St Regis Mauritius Resort, which is less than a year old. Resting on white, silky soft sand and a turquoise lagoon, the resort is located on the south-west tip of the island, the part of Mauritius known as the ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’.

Befitting of kings and queens, you’ll arrive by chauffeur-driven luxury limousine either from Mauritius International Airport or from the capital city Port Louis, both just forty minutes away.
