Mauritius doesn't show up on most points-and-miles blogs. Search "Mauritius points hotels" and you'll find... almost nothing. No TPG guide, no OMAAT deep dive, no Upgraded Points ranking. That's wild, because this Indian Ocean island has 8 bookable points properties across IHG, Marriott, and Hilton -- and some genuinely compelling redemption values.
Here are the 5 best hotels in Mauritius you can book with points right now, ranked by CPP value from our database.
All points prices below were verified in our Itravy database on March 22, 2026. IHG, Marriott, and Hilton all use dynamic pricing, so rates may shift depending on your dates and demand -- but these numbers give you a reliable baseline for what to expect.
1. InterContinental Mauritius Resort -- 50,000 IHG Points
Points: 50,000/night | Cash: $400/night | CPP: 0.8 cents
The best points value in Mauritius. The InterContinental sits on Balaclava Bay on the island's northwest coast -- a sheltered cove with calm, swimmable water year-round. The resort has multiple pools, a spa, and direct beach access to one of the prettiest stretches of sand on the island.
At 50,000 IHG points per night, you're getting 0.8 CPP -- solid for IHG, where the average redemption hovers around 0.5-0.6 cents. And because Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers to IHG at 1:1, those 50,000 points can come directly from your Sapphire card.
5-night stay: 250,000 IHG points = $2,000 in value. IHG's 4th night free benefit drops that to 200,000 points for 4 nights -- effectively 50,000 per night with a bonus night.
Transfer path: Chase UR -> IHG at 1:1, or Bilt -> IHG at 1:1
2. The Westin Turtle Bay Resort and Spa -- 56,500-65,000 Marriott Points
Points: 56,500-65,000/night (dynamic) | Cash: $324-435/night | CPP: 0.6-0.7 cents
The highest-rated property on our Mauritius list. The Westin Turtle Bay occupies a prime spot on the island's northwest coast near the town of Trou aux Biches, with a long crescent beach, multiple restaurants, a full spa, and a turtle conservation program (yes, you can actually help release baby turtles during nesting season).
Marriott's dynamic pricing means the Westin fluctuates between 56,500 and 65,000 points. At the lower end, you're getting a 5.0-rated resort for $324/night value at 0.6 CPP. The 5th night free benefit helps: a 5-night stay at 56,500 pts costs 226,000 points (4 x 56,500), effectively dropping per-night cost to 45,200 points.
5-night stay with 5th free: 226,000 Marriott points = $1,620+ in value. Effective CPP: 0.7 cents.
Transfer path: Chase UR -> Marriott at 1:1, or Amex MR -> Marriott at 1:1
3. Hilton Mauritius Resort and Spa -- 70,000 Hilton Points
Points: 70,000/night | Cash: $340-470/night | CPP: 0.5-0.7 cents
The Hilton Mauritius sits in Flic en Flac on the island's west coast -- one of the best sunset-watching spots in the Indian Ocean. The resort has a long beachfront, multiple pools, and a dive center with access to some of Mauritius's best reef sites.
At 70,000 Hilton points per night, the CPP ranges from 0.5 to 0.7 cents depending on the cash rate. That's typical for Hilton, but the real play is status: Diamond members (automatic with the Amex Aspire card) get complimentary breakfast, lounge access, and potential suite upgrades that add significant value beyond the CPP math.
Hilton's 5th night free benefit applies here too: 5 nights costs 280,000 points (4 x 70,000). With Amex transferring to Hilton at 1:2, that's 140,000 Amex MR points for 5 nights.
Transfer path: Amex MR -> Hilton at 1:2 (so 35,000 Amex MR per night)
4. InterContinental Balaclava -- 52,000 IHG Points
Points: 52,000/night | Cash: $312.82/night | CPP: 0.6 cents
A second IHG option worth knowing about. The InterContinental Balaclava is a separate property from the InterContinental Mauritius Resort -- it sits on a neighboring stretch of Balaclava Bay with its own private beach and a more intimate vibe. The resort features a Givenchy spa (one of the few in the Indian Ocean) and all-inclusive packages available on cash bookings.
At 52,000 IHG points, the CPP is slightly lower than its sister property. But the IHG 4th night free benefit means a 4-night stay costs only 156,000 points for $1,251 in value -- not bad at all.
Transfer path: Chase UR -> IHG at 1:1
5. Le Meridien Ile Maurice -- 64,000 Marriott Points
Points: 64,000/night | Cash: $334/night | CPP: 0.5 cents
Le Meridien sits on Pointe aux Piments on the northwest coast, between Port Louis and Grand Baie. It's a solid mid-range Marriott option with a beachfront pool, water sports center, and easy access to the island's main attractions. The property recently renovated its rooms and public spaces.
The CPP at 0.5 cents is modest, but if you're sitting on a large Marriott balance, this stretches your points across more nights than the Westin. The 5th night free drops a 5-night stay to 256,000 points.
Transfer path: Chase UR -> Marriott at 1:1, or Amex MR -> Marriott at 1:1
How to Get to Mauritius With Miles
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) is Mauritius's only international airport. The best award routing options:
- Emirates via Dubai: Business class bookable with Emirates Skywards miles from the US (dynamic pricing, expect ~100,000+ miles each way for US–Dubai). Transfer from Amex MR, Chase UR, Capital One, Citi TY, or Bilt.
- Air France via Paris: A strong option for East Coast travelers. Book with Flying Blue miles (transferred from Chase UR, Amex MR, or Citi TY). Business class starts around 60,000 miles for US–Paris + ~95,000 miles for Paris–MRU (dynamic pricing).
- Singapore Airlines via Singapore: If you're combining Mauritius with Asia. KrisFlyer miles transfer from all major programs. Business class US–Singapore runs ~92,000–165,000 miles one-way; onward connection to MRU requires additional miles or a separate ticket.
Bottom Line
Mauritius is a genuine gap in the points travel world -- zero dedicated guides exist elsewhere, yet the island has 8 bookable properties across three major programs. The InterContinental Mauritius Resort at 50,000 IHG points delivers the best CPP (0.8 cents), while the Westin Turtle Bay offers the highest guest ratings (5.0/10) with Marriott's 5th night free benefit.
Compared to the Maldives, Mauritius offers more cultural depth (Creole cuisine, colonial history, hiking), better beaches for swimming (the reef-protected lagoons are calmer), and significantly lower points costs. If you've been eyeing an Indian Ocean getaway but the Maldives prices scared you off, Mauritius is your move.
