Mr and Mrs Smith reviews
Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this serene beach hotel in Grand Baie and unpacked their spices and brightly coloured baskets, a full account of their luxury beach break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a postcard from 20 Degres Sud in Mauritius…
Mauritius doesn’t have to try hard to be romantic: its powder-soft beaches and tropical foliage immediately suggest sun-kissed seduction. But the island’s beachfront resorts can be impersonal passion killers, so head to boutique hotel 20 Degres Sud for knock-your-socks-off (and several other items) ardour. The hotel’s coconut grove buffers guests from the touristy trappings of Grand Baie, and its beach is usually empty but for a few locals and some shaded rattan day-beds. The cosy, colonial rooms may not boast gadgets and gizmos, but they won’t be missed. Instead, you’ll be gazing over the ocean from your terrace, meandering to the bar for balloon glasses filled to the brim, or having a meal in the tree-pronged ruin of a governor’s house on a nearby private island. This bite-size boutique paradise has all the trimmings and we challenge you not to get carried away.

Dining information
Restaurant:
The hotel has jaw-dropping settings for the fabulous sea-to-table dishes crafted by local chef Sanjeev Purahoo. Overlook the waves at the seafront restaurant, or get even cloaser to the ocean by chartering vintage motorboat Lady Lisbeth for a meal in its teak-lined cabin. The food is as spectacular as the settings, with a six-course lobster menu, tender cuts of meat from South Africa, and a caught-that-day sushi spread (must be ordered in advance).
Top Table:
By the window in the on-site restaurant watching the boat lights twinkle in the Indian Ocean.

Breakfast is from 7am to 10.30am; lunch from noon to 2:30pm; and coffee, tea and home-made cakes are served at 4pm. Dinner on site is from 7pm to 9.30pm; on the Lady Lisbeth it runs from 7.45pm to 11.30pm.
Room Service:

Hotel Bar:
The bar is a bright space with white wooden walls, rattan furnishings and 19th-century antiques. Be sociable at the long slate bar, or pluck a book from the shelves by the door and delve into the fine wine list.
