Hotel Riu Palace Mauritius
Things to know
before you go
Hotel Riu Palace Mauritius is a true 24-hour all-inclusive, adults-only beachfront resort in Le Morne.
Its biggest appeal is the combination of a newly rebuilt RIU Palace product, adults-only atmosphere, scenic beach, and straightforward all-inclusive value.
Hidden tips
Upgrade to Elite Club only if better views, upgraded minibar/liquor and dedicated spaces matter.
Pack for wind exposure if planning long beach days or water activity in Le Morne.
Things guests wish they had known
The current Riu Palace Mauritius is a new/rebuilt adults-only RIU Palace product opened in 2024, not the older pre-rebuild hotel experience.
Le Morne is scenic and excellent for watersports, but wind can be a real factor.

Adults-only
New/rebuilt 2024 product

Pools and the beach
Pools & waterplay
RIU fact sheet, Expedia and Hotels.com support three outdoor pools; Elite Club pool is separately referenced in fact-sheet evidence.
The beach itself
Le Morne beachfront has swimmable/snorkeling areas, but wind exposure is a recurring guest consideration because the peninsula is known for wind and watersports.
- Moderate water, swimmable most days
- Caveat: Entry depth varies along the shore
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
