The Radisson Blu Azuri Resort and Spa is the northeast coast’s most accessible luxury resort. Positioned directly on the beach at Haute Rive, with 101 rooms and a private balcony or terrace to every one of them, the resort keeps things focused and well-executed rather than expansive.
Four restaurants and bars, a Cinque Mondes Spa, a golf course on the doorstep, and direct access to the coral reef give it a range that belies its relatively compact scale. The coral reef is close enough to the shore to snorkel from the beach, the Flacq open-air market is ten minutes away, and catamaran excursions to Ilot Gabriel run regularly for those who want a day on the water.
The northeast coast is quieter than the busier resort strips elsewhere on the island, and the Azuri suits that well, making a straightforward and enjoyable case for couples and families who want a well-run beachfront resort without the sprawl of larger properties.
