Le Jadis Beach Resort & Wellness – Balaclava, Mauritius

Timeout in Mauritius: Le Jadis Beach Resort and Wellness – A Sanctuary of Sustainable Luxury

This year my family and I were in dire need of a holiday. We desperately needed an escape, a place where we could reconnect with ourselves and each other, surrounded by beauty and tranquility. I could think of nothing better than heading to the beautiful paradise island of Mauritius for endless beach bliss, pampering, and relaxation. From the moment we stepped onto the island, we knew we had made the right choice. Our destination: Le Jadis Beach Resort and Wellness, a sanctuary where sustainable luxury meets unparalleled privacy and seclusion was our home during our stay. This was a place where nature meets elegance, relaxation is felt in every detail, and excellence permeates throughout the resort.

Surrender to Relaxation

What truly sets Le Jadis apart is their remarkable attention to detail and commitment to sustainable practices. For example, upon arrival, a thoughtfully crafted itinerary awaited us, showcasing the resort’s dedication to guests well-being. This pre-arranged schedule, packed with delightful activities and ample downtime, allowed us to fully surrender to the island’s tranquil rhythm. We didn’t have to think, we didn’t have to worry – everything was seamlessly taken care of.

Quick Room Overview 

Our suite was an absolute masterpiece of design and comfort, boasting a spacious balcony with ocean views, a standalone bathtub, and luxurious finishes, all sustainability sourced. The layout was incredibly intuitive, designed to maximise privacy and seclusion. A spacious bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious shower seamlessly connected to our private temperature-controlled infinity pool – which was, of course, a highlight. We spent countless hours soaking in the warm water, both in the early morning and late evening, captivated by the spectacular views that stretched out before us. The bed was a cloud of comfort, ensuring a restful night’s sleep, and all the amenities aided our every comfort, contributing to a profound sense of wellness.

Serenity at Le Jadis

The resort itself is a haven of serenity. Ample space surrounds the sparkling pool, inviting you to bask in the Mauritian sun in complete privacy. Multiple bars, strategically placed, ensured that drinks and snacks were always within easy reach. After some time spent lounging by the pool, we wandered down to the beach to witness the sunset. The sun was dipping gently in the horizon, softly like a breath of air when suddenly, the sky exploded into a kaleidoscope of colours, painting the horizon with hues so vibrant and breathtaking, they felt almost sacred. Enjoying this golden hour on the beach was definitely a highlight, not to mention that true spoil of sundowners and snacks that accompanied us – we enjoyed it very much. The feeling of seclusion and tranquility was palpable, allowing us to truly disconnect from the outside world.

Amenities and Food

This particular resort boasts world-class amenities, all designed to enhance your well-being. The spa is a sanctuary of tranquility, offering a range of treatments designed to soothe the body and mind, using natural and sustainable products. I had the pleasure of experiencing their hydrotherapy pool, a truly unforgettable experience that left me feeling completely revitalized and connected to the healing power of water. And then there’s the food. Le Jadis offers a culinary experience that is truly exceptional, with each dish a symphony of flavours, cooked to perfection and presented with exquisite attention to detail. The restaurant itself provided a superior dining experience, with impeccable service and a sophisticated ambiance. The resort prioritizes locally sourced ingredients, further contributing to its commitment to sustainability.

But perhaps the most memorable aspect of our stay was the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine smiles and unwavering hospitality. Every member of the team was incredibly professional, helpful, and genuinely lovely to engage with. The simple details, the thoughtful gestures, and the genuine intent behind their service made us feel truly valued and cared for. Their dedication to creating a personalized and unforgettable experience truly embodies the spirit of Le Jadis.

Three Day Itinerary at Le Jadis Beach Resort – with a toddler 

Arrival

As we arrived from the airport, we were given an extremely warm welcome. The friendly porter unloaded our bags and ushered us into the reception area. We were greeted with a cool towel and a welcome drink to refresh ourselves. We were then met by one of the sales managers who gave us a lovely introduction of the resort and then surprised us with our 3 day itinerary – I absolutely loved this because it took all the thinking out of it for us which meant we could merely show up and do what we were meant to which was appreciate and enjoy this beautiful place we were in to the fullest. We then headed to our room for the room tour and to settle in. This is one of the most luxurious and well thought out rooms we have stayed in. The obvious showstopper here being that we had a partial sea view with an infinity pool on our balcony which was also heated – perfect for early morning dips and evening swims. 

Day 1 

Days started with an incredible breakfast which included basically everything you could think of in its freshest form cooked to perfection based on preference. Then we headed down to the beach, visible and accessible from the resort which was an absolute perk to be able to enjoy the ocean without needing to wait for excursions. We then chatted to the very friendly staff at the Aqua Hut – this is where you can book boat trips and obtain snorkelling gear. This is free for guests. We hopped on the boat – which has a glass bottom to spot the beautiful marine life and coral. My hubby was lucky to spot a sea turtle and octopus while I only saw beautiful fish. There is something so beautiful about being on the ocean with nothing on the horizon (apart from other ships far in the distance) that makes you feel so at peace with enjoying the moment and the simple things life has to offer. After looking for a good spot, the instructor stopped the boat and we were able to jump into the sea and snorkel around. The water was so lovely and the fish ample as we spotted countless schools of fish. We really enjoyed being in the freshwater and had a lovely family experience. 

We then headed back in and spent some time in the huge swimming pools fully kitted out with a bar and even cycling bikes in the pool! We had some drinks and a light lunch before heading back to our room for a relaxing sleep. We enjoyed the afternoon at the resort and were invited to have some wellness drinks and snacks at the bar before heading to dinner. Drinks are mixed with precision and care and it is surely observed when enjoying our decadent meals and drinks. Our dinner plates were left clean!

Day 2 

We started the day in the best way possible when an absolutely beautiful breakfast basket was delivered to our room. This was something out of a movie because it was one of those stunning baskets you enjoy floating on the pool. It was really a special experience, something I have always wanted to do and something we all loved. It was not at all difficult and there was no mess or fuss while enjoying this special moment. 

We then headed out for the day to explore some of the island. Upon our return we relaxed once more before heading to the hydrotherapy pool. This is not advised for kids so our little one had some tablet time on the nearby sunbed while hubby and I experienced the hydrotherapy pool – one of the most extensive facilities in Mauritius. After we concluded this wellness experience, we once again spent time enjoying the resort – one of the things we loved about being here is that the resort offers everything you need for a wholesome stay. As the sun began to set, we made our way to the beach to experience the magnificent sunset where we were spoiled with sundowners and snacks – truly though it was much more than just snacks, it was actual canapes that were delicious! That evening we enjoyed dinner on the beach which was wonderful. Looking out into the night with ships in the distance and sea breeze in the air, it was lovely. 

Day 3

Our last morning at the resort we took part in beach yoga which was wonderful. The instructor was extremely well trained and knowledgeable in his field. As we approached the beach, mats and refreshments were set up for us. The instructor took time to learn about any injuries or struggles we had and did not mind that we had never done yoga in our lives before. 

We started with some lovely exercises before showing us some wonderful breathing and stretching techniques. My family and I really enjoyed trying something new and felt we were in good hands. After our session was complete, we enjoyed our final breakfast at Le Jadis and then started getting ready to depart.

The team gave us a wonderful send off and we left feeling totally enriched and relaxed. Our time at this resort exceeded expectations and has made Mauritius a place we thoroughly enjoyed as a family.

Thank you so much for having us!
