I had a fantastic experience at Maritim Resort. The service was absolutely amazing ,professional, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. A special mention to Mr. Davisen, whose service and professionalism truly stood out and made the experience even more enjoyable.
I also have to mention Mr. Hesh for providing the best shisha service I’ve experienced in Mauritius. His attention to detail, friendly attitude, and excellent service were exceptional.
Overall, a wonderful experience with an outstanding team. I highly recommend Maritim Resort and will definitely be coming back!
During my stay at Maritim Mauritius, I had the privilege of attending several yoga sessions with Manoj — and I can honestly say that they were among the most beautiful and authentic yoga experiences I have had in a long time. The sequences are thoughtfully structured and clearly rooted in the traditional yogic path. Each session unfolds in a harmonious and meaningful way, with the individual postures, transitions, breathing and moments of stillness coming together naturally. There is a sense of purpose behind the practice, without ever feeling forced or overly instructional. What makes Manoj truly special, however, is that he does not simply teach yoga — he embodies it. His presence, gentleness and complete absence of ego create a very rare quality within the room. He has an incredible ability to create a space in which everyone feels welcome and accepted exactly as they are. Whether you are taking your very first steps in yoga or have been practising for many years, his classes have the potential to become a deeply personal experience. The setting makes the experience even more extraordinary. Practising yoga at Maritim Mauritius, surrounded by such natural beauty, tranquillity and an incredibly beautiful ambience, creates a wonderful connection between the practice and the environment. There is something very special about moving, breathing and finding stillness in such a peaceful and inspiring place. The surroundings seem to naturally support what yoga is ultimately about: slowing down, becoming present and reconnecting with yourself. I have lived in India for several years myself and have been practising yoga for many years. Having encountered yoga in India and experienced different teachers and traditions, I was genuinely delighted to discover such a high level of authenticity and quality in yoga here at Maritim Mauritius. What touched me most was that Manoj’s teaching is not about demonstrating how much one knows or how advanced a posture can become. It is about creating an experience. His humility, kindness and presence allow the practice to unfold naturally, and somehow he manages to bring together people of completely different levels into one shared experience.
For me, these sessions were therefore much more than a fitness activity during a holiday. They were moments of stillness, awareness and genuine connection — moments in which I could simply arrive, breathe and be. I highly recommend experiencing a yoga session with Manoj at Maritim Mauritius. For anyone who understands yoga as more than a physical practice — as a path towards greater awareness, balance and inner connection — his classes are truly something special. Namaste Annette
