Luxurious beachfront resort with exclusive access to two private islands - Ilot Mangénie for beach dining and Ile aux Cerfs for golf. Features trendy restaurants, extensive spa, and sophisticated rooms with Indian Ocean views. One of Mauritius's premier luxury destinations.
Shangri-La Le Touessrok Resort & Spa stands on a narrow peninsula at Trou d'Eau Douce on Mauritius's east coast, approximately 60 kilometres from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. The resort fronts the shallow turquoise lagoon that characterises this stretch of coastline, with the fishing village of Trou d'Eau Douce visible across the channel. The east coast's reef-protected waters are consistently calm and well suited to water sports and beach activities.
The property underwent a full refurbishment when Shangri-La acquired the Le Touessrok brand, modernising interiors while preserving the resort's defining feature: exclusive guest access to Île aux Cerfs, a privately managed island reached by a 15-minute boat ferry. The island hosts an 18-hole championship golf course, a beach club, several restaurants, and a water-sports operation. A second private islet, Îlot Mangénie, is reserved for sunset dinners and special occasion dining, accessible only by private boat transfer.
Accommodation spans junior suites, ocean-view suites, and freestanding beach villas with private gardens and plunge pools. Interiors favour clean contemporary lines with rattan accents, natural timber finishes, and generous sea-view balconies. The Chi Spa has 14 treatment rooms with an emphasis on Asian-inspired healing therapies alongside standard European treatments, and a daily yoga and meditation schedule operates year-round.
Six restaurants and four bars cover Mauritian Creole, Japanese, Mediterranean, and Thai cuisines. Kushi, the signature Asian restaurant, is regarded as one of the most consistently strong dining venues on the island. Breakfast runs a broad buffet supplemented by à la carte options served tableside.
A dedicated children's Explorers Club operates year-round and handles logistics for families effectively. The concierge team maintains relationships with dive operators, helicopter charter companies, and the island's most experienced deep-sea fishing guides.

Tips for visiting
- Take the first ferry to Île aux Cerfs in the morning — the island gets considerably more crowded after 11 am as day-trippers from other resorts arrive
- The golf course on Île aux Cerfs fills up weeks in advance during July, August, and December; book tee times immediately after confirming the hotel reservation
- Request a villa with plunge pool when booking — the upgrade from suite to villa is significant in terms of privacy and outdoor space
- Kushi restaurant requires advance reservations; book through the concierge on the first day of arrival
- The resort's own beach is narrow; the Île aux Cerfs beach club offers a more expansive beach experience and is a better option for extended beach days
When to visit
October to April for the warmest water and calmest lagoon conditions. The east coast is drier than the west during this period. July and August bring stronger south-east trade winds.
