If you’re looking for a peaceful, adults-only escape on the east coast of Mauritius, Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette is a name that should be on your radar. Many visitors to the island seek out the quieter corners for rest, romance, or to simply unwind with the sound of the waves. This resort delivers on all counts, thanks to its unique location, thoughtful amenities, and a grown-up vibe that’s perfect for couples or friends traveling without children.
- Location: Poste Lafayette, east coast of Mauritius
- Resort policy: Adults-only (guests must be over 18 years old)
- Amenities: Spa, outdoor pool, multiple restaurants, direct beach access
- Booking: Available directly through the resort
Why Choose Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette?
The east coast of Mauritius has a totally different feel from the busier west or north. Poste Lafayette itself is a calm stretch that stays just under most tourists’ radar, offering beautiful sunrises, uncrowded sands, and a refreshing sense of space. Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette makes the most of its setting with direct access to a long sweep of pale sand and turquoise lagoon just steps from your room. Wading into the Indian Ocean here, especially during Mauritius’ winter (that’s July if you’re reading this from Europe), the water’s cool but comfortable, the ideal temperature for long swims or gentle snorkeling.
What sets this property apart is its adults-only policy. This isn’t a spot for family holidays with kids running around the pool. Instead, the atmosphere is undeniably relaxed, think lazy mornings over breakfast, or evenings lingering with cocktails under the stars. From what I’ve seen, it’s a favorite for couples celebrating anniversaries or taking that long-overdue break from work and routine.

Resort Amenities: Rest, Recharge, and Real Comfort
Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette isn’t sprawling or overwhelming, which is part of its charm. Key amenities include:
- Spa: An on-site spa makes it easy to book a massage or facial without leaving the property. Treatments often use locally inspired ingredients, think coconut oil or sugar scrubs.
- Outdoor Pool: The pool area is reserved for adults, keeping the vibe peaceful. You’ll find ample loungers, shaded corners, and easy service for drinks and snacks.
- Direct Beach Access: You’re never more than a minute’s walk from sand to sea. While the east can get breezy in winter, the lagoon protects swimmers most days.
- Gym: There’s a small fitness room in case you want to sneak in a workout between meals and sun sessions.
Dining Options for Every Taste
The resort features several restaurants, each serving up a different flavor of Mauritius. You’ll get to try both international and Mauritian cuisine, seafood fresh from the ocean, grilled meats, and plenty of options for vegetarians. The open-air dining spaces really come alive at night, especially with the sound of the ocean in the background. There’s also a relaxed bar for pre-dinner drinks or a sunset tipple.
From my own experience, the east coast draws a cooler breeze even in July, so evenings on the terrace feel fresh rather than hot. It’s worth packing a light sweater for sunset cocktails.
Who Is This Resort Ideal For?
This place is tailored towards adults looking for calm and connection. That might mean honeymooners, couples traveling without kids, or friends who want a stylish, fuss-free Mauritius base. The adults-only rule guarantees a peaceful atmosphere throughout the property, from the spa to the pool and beyond. It’s comfortable without being formal; casual beachwear is the norm by day, with just a little sprucing up for dinner.
If you want to explore further, car hire or taxis make it easy to reach other east coast spots (like Belle Mare or the north’s more lively beaches, see our Grand Gaube Beach guide). Still, many guests simply settle in and let the calm take over for a few days. And if a quieter resort is your style, you’ll appreciate the contrast with places like Flic en Flac, fun, but almost always much busier!
