Hidden away amongst a verdant coconut grove, 20 Degrees Sud is a stylish and discreet boutique hotel overlooking a tranquil blue lagoon at Pointe Malartic. It lies just five minutes from the buzzing little village of Grand Baie, often referred to as the 'St Tropez of Mauritius'. Thanks to its small size and homely feel, the hotel has a convivial atmosphere, while light and airy interiors and endless sea views lend a lovely peaceful feeling. The laid-back atmosphere does not come at the expense of luxury touches such as plush furnishings, excellent cuisine and charming personalised service - meaning that 20 Degrees Sud offers what many consider to be the best of both.

ACCOMMODATION
The hotel has just 30 rooms and six suites, all of which are different but share tasteful décor featuring luxury linens, antique furniture and mod cons including multimedia systems providing access to film, TV and internet. The rooms are divided into four categories. Charm Rooms are the smallest but delightfully cosy, with light fresh décor and views over the coconut grove that runs down to the sea. Beachfront Rooms are located on the first floor, with balconies offering lovely views of the bay. The two Suites also have sea views as well as outdoor Jacuzzis from which to enjoy them; while Austral Suites are vast and luxurious, with spacious living areas, outdoor plunge pools or Jacuzzis (depending on location), and over-hanging balconies that give the impression of floating on the water.
FOR FAMILIES
The hotel focuses on creating a peaceful retreat for grown-ups and does not take bookings for families with children.
