These establishments cater to individual and leisure travelers as well as small incentive groups and business travelers, placing emphasis on “the human touch,” customized services, and delicious home-cooking – Mauritian style.



The small- and medium-sized hotels of Mauritius are grouped under local associations: the Authentic Hotels & Guest Houses, Mauritius; members of AHRIM (Association Des Hoteliers et Restaurateurs – Ile Maurice); and the Association Des Hotels De Charme (AHC).

The association’s objective is to ensure that guests to have a wide range of different accommodation types to choose from and to satisfy the needs of their budgets. Standards have been developed to help clients reach a satisfaction level equal to what they have spent. Visitors can choose to stay in resorts, as well as have the choice to stay at budgeted hotels and other quality standard accommodation depending on the travel group size, individual desires, and wishes of small group and families.
