Mauritius is renowned for its pristine beaches and luxurious retreats, but Ilot Mangénie, the exclusive private island for guests of Shangri-La Le Touessrok, offers an unparalleled experience that combines serenity, luxury, and natural beauty. Here’s how to make the most of your day on this secluded paradise.
Morning: A Scenic Arrival
Your journey begins at the resort’s jetty, where the view of Ilot Mangénie rising from the lagoon sets the tone for the day. Complimentary boat shuttles, departing every 20 minutes, whisk you away on a 10-minute ride across glittering turquoise waters. As the island’s lush vegetation and pristine beaches come into sight, you’ll feel the anticipation of stepping into an untouched sanctuary.
Upon arrival, your personal butler will welcome you to a luxurious beach cabana, complete with a shaded daybed, sun loungers, and a dining table. Settle in with a refreshing welcome drink, as the tranquil environment begins to soothe your senses.
Midday: Culinary Delights
Indulge in a culinary journey at Ilot Mangénie’s exclusive beach restaurant and bar. Fresh seafood platters, infused with local flavors, take center stage on the menu. Pair your meal with tailor-made cocktails or sample local rums for an authentic Mauritian touch.
For an even more personalized experience, the “Dine by Design” option allows you to enjoy a bespoke meal created by Shangri-La’s chefs, set in a secluded spot with sweeping ocean views. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply savoring life, this dining experience will leave you mesmerized.
Afternoon: Relaxation and Exploration
Spend your afternoon exactly how you wish—whether it’s embracing ultimate relaxation or seeking adventure.
- For Relaxation: Visit the island’s idyllic spa, where organic and indigenous ingredients are used to create signature treatments. A massage by the beach, accompanied by the sounds of the ocean, promises a holistic journey to tranquility.
- For Exploration: Stroll along secluded pathways through lush vegetation, leading to hidden coves and untouched beaches. The island’s natural beauty invites you to reconnect with nature. Snorkel in the vibrant lagoon or kayak along the coastline for an up-close encounter with marine life.
Evening: Sunset Bliss
As the day winds down, retreat to your cabana for one last toast to paradise. Savor a glass of chilled wine or a crafted cocktail as the sun dips below the horizon, casting golden hues across the ocean. The ambiance is magical, as if the island itself pauses to celebrate the beauty of the moment with you.
