The Mid-Year Escape Reset

As mid-year approaches, many travellers find themselves craving warmth, space and a chance to slow down. In South Africa, the winter chill prompts a natural instinct to seek warmth, space and a slower way of being. This is the ideal time to step away from the relentless demands of daily life and trade them for the unhurried rhythm of island life in Mauritius. 

As leaders in leisure and hospitality, Newmark Hotels & Reserves encourages you to stop counting the days and start experiencing them. For discerning travellers, this winter presents an invitation to cross the water to Mauritius; not for a rushed itinerary, but to reset the mind, body and soul in a place where indulgent relaxation and natural beauty are the norm.

The Art of the Island Winter

Swap crowded winter destinations for the calm and comfort of a Mauritian escape. July and August in Mauritius offer something far more exclusive: golden days, limited guests and an authentic peace with daytime temperatures reaching 23 to 26 °C, ideal for comfortably venturing out. 

Located on the island’s wild, untouched eastern coast, La Maison d’Été embodies this seasonal escape against the backdrop of the sparkling blue Indian Ocean. Embrace the slower rhythm of life by the ocean, whether during a waterside dinner or while sipping cocktails on your balcony. 

Designed for Long, Lingering Stays

Some of life's finest experiences are best enjoyed without rushing from one activity to the next. A mid-year retreat requires moving beyond the standard holiday checklist and settling into a bespoke, boutique environment where thoughtful service and understated exclusivity define the experience. Time spent at La Maison d’Été is about the quiet details:

• Bespoke dining: Savour exceptional, locally sourced seafood at the water’s edge for international refinement balanced with island authenticity.
• Slower days: Trade a packed excursion diary for a quiet morning spent reading on your private deck as the tide recedes, followed by a leisurely catamaran tour. 
• Meaningful rest: Find a dedicated space to breathe, where the hosts know your name and the space feels entirely your own.
