Le Morne, Mauritius · St. Regis · Grand Luxury
The St. Regis Le Morne Resort stands at the base of Le Morne Brabant, a 556-metre volcanic monolith inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its role as a sanctuary for escaped slaves in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Designed by Stauch Vorster Architects with interiors by Trevor Julius of dsgn, it opened as the St. Regis brand's first African property in 2013, became the JW Marriott in 2021, and returned to St. Regis in May 2025 — adding champagne sabrage and bespoke butler service.
- 172 rooms

About The St. Regis Le Morne Resort, Mauritius
- Le Morne Brabant's UNESCO inscription (2008) documents a specific oral tradition: in February 1835, escaped slaves sheltering in the mountain's caves saw a police expedition approaching and, believing they faced re-enslavement, leapt to their deaths — not knowing the party had come to announce emancipation; the date is now Mauritius's national slavery abolition commemoration.
- The property has completed a rare brand round-trip: The St. Regis Mauritius Resort (2013) → JW Marriott Mauritius Resort (August 2021) → The St. Regis Le Morne Resort (May 2025), making it one of the few luxury hotels to revert to an earlier brand at the same address after only four years under a different flag.
- The St. Regis Grand Beachfront Villa added in the 2025 rebrand is billed as one of the largest beachfront villas in the Indian Ocean — a direct response to the competitive pressure from Maldives and Seychelles ultra-private villa products.
History
The St. Regis Mauritius Resort opened in 2013 as the brand's first property in Africa, located on the Le Morne Peninsula. It was rebranded to JW Marriott Mauritius Resort in 2021 following a renovation. In May 2025, it reverted to The St. Regis Le Morne Resort, Mauritius, with thoughtful enhancements including updates to dining and the addition of signature St. Regis rituals.
The setting
Nestled on the iconic white-sand beach of Le Morne Peninsula at the foot of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Le Morne Brabant mountain in southwest Mauritius. 17 km from Chamarel Waterfall.
