The Social Side of Mauritius: Where to Stay for a Lively Island Escape

Many think of the Indian Ocean as a monolith of silent lagoons and secluded honeymoon suites, but there is a high-energy heartbeat to the island that often goes overlooked.

Mystik Lifestyle Boutique Hotel offers a departure from the traditional resort model for those seeking a more connected experience. Located on the northwestern coast at Mont Choisy, this is where the island’s social element is most electric. 

Here, Newmark Hotels & Reserves is inviting guests to engage with a lifestyle that’s as much about the sunset DJ sets as it is about the white sand.

Island Socials for the Free

Mauritius has evolved into a premier destination for those who thrive on atmosphere and energy. While the south offers rugged solitude, the north is home to a circuit of beach clubs and social beaches where the day transitions effortlessly from espresso to cocktails. 

Places like La Plage and the nearby Grand Baie scene serve as the island’s living rooms, offering a curated blend of chilled beats and high-end dining. Staying at Mystik Lifestyle Boutique Hotel means you’re never more than a few steps away from a lively pool lounge or a beachfront bar where the conversation flows as freely as the local rum.

This spirit extends well beyond the shore. The lagoon at Mont Choisy is a playground for active travellers who prefer a kiteboard or kayak over a sunlounger. The social side of the island is best experienced through:

• Sunset bars: Where local and international crowds gather to toast the day's end.

• Water sports: High-speed adventures from water skiing to catamaran cruises departing from Grand Baie.

• Nightlife: A short drive takes you to the heart of the island’s clubbing and late-night dining scene.

• Social beaches: Massive stretches of sand where beach volleyball and local food stalls create a communal vibe.

Effortless Living at the Water’s Edge

Choosing a base that reflects this personality is essential. The Mystik Lifestyle Boutique Hotel caters to the modern nomad, someone who appreciates the freedom to explore. The view, the vibe, and the easy access to the ocean. 

With its iconic infinity pool and the #36 Beach Resto Bar, the hotel itself becomes a destination for those who want to be in the thick of the action without losing out on the quality of a boutique stay. 

From a morning of diving into the clear waters to a post-brunch snorkel followed by a shopping spree in the boutiques of Grand Baie, the energy of the north is infectious. It is an invitation to move, to meet, and to experience the island with a fresh perspective.

Swap the silence for the social pulse of the north when you book your stay at the Mystik Lifestyle Boutique Hotel through Newmark Hotels & Reserves.
