Mauritius is open I hear. What's the protocol?
Vaccinated travellers can travel to Mauritius. As from 12 March 2022, you no longer need to present a negative PCR test upon arrival. Upon arrival at your hotel (day 0), you will take an antigen test. We are happy to cover the cost of the test. Once the antigen test is cleared, you are free to wander the island as you please.
Unvaccinated travellers are required to stay in an official quarantine for 7 days. After 3 negative PCR tests, they are free to wander the island on day 7.

As the world reopens, travel is getting a little easier. The secret to a seamless trip is extra planning. Be sure to check your country's regulations. Here's the status in our destinations:
Mauritius
Great news! Mauritius is fully open! We compiled the most frequently asked questions below. We also invite you
to consult the official Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority website for the latest updates and more detailed
information: https://mauritiusnow.com
La Reunion
Social distancing is recommended but is no longer mandatory. Masks are not required indoors and outdoors, including
in transportation (even if it is still recommended). To visit Reunion Island, it is compulsory for unvaccinated
people to present a Covid-19 test (PCR test less than 72 hours or Antigen test less than 48 hours). Vaccinated
travellers do not need to present any test upon departure. Since 14 May, ‘reasonable excuses’ are not required
for unvaccinated travellers (however a negative Covid test is still compulsory).
China
Over in China, the doors to our resorts and retreats
are open to domestic travellers only, as borders
remain closed for now. A health QR code is required
upon check-in. Local travellers from high and middle-risk
areas should check in with their regional's regulations.
Maldives
The Maldives' one island=one resort has made it an alluring destination since day 1.
You are no longer required to present a PCR negative test result upon arrival to the Maldives. This applies to both
vaccinated and non-vaccinated travellers. Wearing a face mask is no longer mandatory, except at health facilities.
You must fill out an online Traveller Health Declaration
(https://imuga.immigration.gov.mv/) within 48h of
your departure to and from the Maldives.
If you are coming from another resort, island or boat, you are no longer required to do a PCR test
prior to your arrival at LUX* South Ari Atoll.
As part of the Collective Care Program, all Team Members maintain protective measures, and public facilities are
sanitized frequently to keep you, our Team Members, and our communities safe.
COVID-19 insurance: The Maldives offers a COVID-19 insurance which travellers
can purchase prior to their arrival. It covers medical expenses, isolation and transportation costs.
