Situated on the east coast of Mauritius in Belle Mare, The Residence Mauritius blends timeless elegance with modern luxuries to create a sophisticated retreat. Inspired by turn-of-the-century mansions and plantation houses, the resort’s colonial architecture is not better displayed than in its stunning lobby, where cold towels and fresh iced tea await guests’ arrivals.

The deliciously nostalgic décor continues in the rooms and suites, each opening onto a private balcony or terrace, and with the service of a personal butler. The newest gems of the resort, the Colonial Ocean Front Suites, each offer a second bathroom, as well as a grand terrace with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.

The spacious main pool area is a popular spot, added to by complimentary fresh fruits and bottled water. The Sanctuary spa, with La Prairie products and philosophies, is a large temple of relaxation offering an extensive menu of skincare treatments, massages and custom-made programs. Some of its more unique offerings are three caviar treatments for the face and body, specifically designed to nourish, firm, and hydrate the skin.

If it’s a family holiday, the resort’s Planters Kids Club – inspired by a sugar-cane plantation house – is dedicated to the entertainment of children and the relaxation of their parents. The program includes treasure hunts, snorkeling classes, hikes and picnics, glass bottom boat tours, and pony rides among other fun diversions.
