Amédée Maingard Lounge
★3.2(304 reviews)MRU
Air Mauritius's flagship lounge and the most flexible way in at MRU — DragonPass, Priority Pass or airline access.
The Amédée Maingard Lounge sits airside in the new terminal building at Mauritius's Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, opposite gate 28 in the departure lounge. Named after the founder of Air Mauritius, it's the airline's flagship space and the most flexible way into a lounge at MRU: it accepts DragonPass and Priority Pass holders as well as eligible Air Mauritius premium-cabin and status passengers. The lounge blends modern sophistication with subtle Mauritian-inspired touches — soft lighting, contemporary decor and spacious seating areas that keep a quiet, refined feel. Large windows let in natural light and offer views over the tarmac and surroundings, while air conditioning keeps the space comfortable. With gentle background music and hushed conversation, it's an easy place to unwind before a long-haul flight off the island.
Crowding · busier at evening peak
A pleasant spot for light work before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and quiet seating. Fine for email and catching up, though it isn't a dedicated business lounge.

The lounge offers a self-service food and drink selection suited to travellers heading out on long-haul evening departures, with light hot and cold options alongside a bar serving soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. As with most Mauritian lounges, the emphasis is on a relaxed pre-flight bite rather than a full restaurant spread.

After clearing passport control and security, head into the international departures area; the lounge is opposite gate 28 in the departure lounge.
