Our history
The largest of the small hotels
Hotel 20 Degrés Sud hasn't always been a hotel, but it has always been a home.
It's these origins that allow it to convey such a hospitable and intimate feeling during your stay with us.
Originally a colonial house, it stood on the site of an ancient coconut grove, whose last representatives you can still see today.
In 1985, this grand house was transformed into a hotel for the first time, under the name "Colonial Coconut", a name which in itself crystallizes this decade.
In 2007, the name "20 Degrees South" appeared for the first time, celebrating the 20th parallel of the southern hemisphere that crosses the island. In 2013, the establishment joined the highly prestigious Relais & Châteaux catalog, of which it remains the sole representative in Mauritius to this day.
In 2016, our pearl of the Indian Ocean underwent its first renovation
, earning it a 5th star in 2018. Then, in 2020, the transformation continues to give the hotel
the lustre, comfort and excellent facilities you can enjoy today.
