About Island Lilly

Island Lilly is a boutique Mauritius specialist. We are registered in Mauritius and run by a small team based between Mauritius and London.

We hold relationships across more than 30 of the island's leading hotel brands and a select shortlist of 4-stars we consider boutique in their own right. For travellers who want the place to themselves, we also work with a private collection of villas and bungalows. From that range, we recommend the handful that match your party, your dates, and the kind of trip you have in mind.

We know where to find the island's true beauty

Mauritius is small but each coast behaves differently across the year. Matching where you stay, and when, to the trip you have in mind is what we do.

Our work is to match where you stay, and when, to the experience you want. That sometimes means recommending against a popular request.

Our approach to design

We design journeys we would book for our own family. That means real geography rather than glossy aerials, realistic pacing for the party travelling, and stays we have walked through ourselves. Our hotel network is broad. Our recommendations are narrow. The advice we give is the advice we would give a close friend planning the same trip.

Who you will work with

Island Lilly is run by three people. We work directly with every guest, from the first email to the last day on the island.
