As well as incredible views, each room benefits from stunning interior design which aims to keep the spaces light and airy.

Time to Eat

As we said before, InterContinental Mauritius boasts four restaurants to tantalise your taste buds.

Through these four fine eateries you can take your palate on a gastronomic journey of discovery. 

Firstly, Senso is the main restaurant delivering colourful and flavoursome international buffets. However, when you move away from Senso you’ll really start travelling.

  • Al fresco eating area
  • Evening meals at sunset
  • lunchtime dining area

For example, Veda and Noble House have both looked to the east for their inspiration.

South Asian classics are on offer in Veda. Indian spices will liven up your evening meal. Whereas Noble House focuses more on southeast Asian influences to cook up an aromatic storm. 

Meanwhile, Segala showcases all the delights of the local culinary scene. Feasting on a multitude of mouth-watering Maldivian meals is the perfect way to end your day.

But, to rewind slightly, how are you best spending your days?
