You will dine sumptuously at the luxury Shanti Ananda Maurice! As much of the produce as possible is sourced from the resorts own gardens and neighbouring farms as well, of course, as the abundance of the ocean. There is an emphasis here on creating memorable mixes of techniques and artisanal experiences so settle in for a real treat whether you are dining from the Cape-inspired menu from the ocean front restaurant with its complementary wine list or at the Fish and Rhum Shack on the beach for a more casual beach barbecue. Picnics around the grounds or on the beach are always an option and for some company head to the Red Ginger Lounge overlooking the infinity pool or enjoy a session from the fabulous Sega dancers at the Fish and Rhum Shack.

The shops at this luxury resort also excel in what they offer from handmade natural vegetable soaps and scrubs, 100% natural exotic preserves, local cotton and cashmere clothing to the famous Chamarel Rhum. Before or after undertaking any of the many activities on offer at this luxury resort book a session at the popular Nira Spa for health and beauty treatments; they specialize in combining ayurvedic regimes with contemporary international treatments.

It is all happening at the luxury Shanti Ananda Maurice from land-based activities to a whole host of water adventures and excursions. You can choose to sail, swim or snorkel the lagoon looking out for exotic and unusual marine animals along the beautiful coral reefs or get active on land with some power walking, jogging, aquafit or pilates classes. If the food has inspired you take a guided walk through the gardens or cooking classes with the chef as he explains the philosophy behind the cuisine on offer at this luxury resort.

There are tennis courts and golf courses nearby and you should not miss out on the chance to go deep sea fishing, dolphin watching, kayaking or scuba diving. Regardless of what you are inspired to do, undoubtedly you will find that Shanti Ananda Maurice has it to offer.
