About This Guide
The view from above changes everything. Mauritius's best rooftop hotels don't just offer a room with a view — they offer entire elevated experiences. Rooftop bars where the city's skyline becomes your backdrop, infinity pools that seem to merge with the horizon, and open-air restaurants where every table has a panorama. The St. Regis Mauritius boasts what many consider the finest rooftop panorama in Mauritius, with 360-degree views and a cocktail programme curated by an award-winning mixologist. Maradiva Villas Resort & Spa features a stunning infinity pool that's become one of the most photographed hotel features in the city. We've evaluated not just the views but the complete rooftop experience — quality of food and drinks, atmosphere, seating comfort, and whether the space feels genuinely special or merely elevated.
Insider Tips
Time your rooftop visit for golden hour — typically 1-2 hours before sunset.
Make dinner reservations for rooftop restaurants well in advance, especially on weekends.
Pack a light layer — rooftop temperatures can drop significantly after sunset.
Request a west-facing room for in-room sunset views as well.
