Spread over 25 acres of tropical gardens and fringed by a mile-long stretch of beach, the luxurious Residence Mauritius blends modern elegance with a classic colonial plantation style. Offering impeccable butler service, wonderful cuisine and a serene spa, this idyllic retreat is perfect for couples, while a celebrated kids’ club and huge lagoon-style pool make it a great option for families too.

60 minutes' drive from the airport.

On the east coast of the island.

There are 163 large guestrooms and suites to choose from, each decorated and furnished in the rich creams and dark woods so redolent of colonial style. Each room has a private balcony or terrace, luxury marble bathroom, air conditioning, satellite TV with CD/DVD player, complimentary WiFi, tea/coffee making facilities and private butler service (on request). Colonial Rooms have either a garden, partial ocean or full ocean view whilst the more spacious suites are divided into Junior, Senior and Ocean Suites. Junior Suites enjoy an adjoining open-plan lounge area and the larger Senior Suites include a separate living and dining area. The romantic Ocean View and Ocean Front Suites are highly recommended, featuring a king-size four poster bed and an expansive private terrace with breathtaking ocean views. Interconnecting options are also available for families, so do call us for details.

All three restaurants enjoy a reputation for superb cuisine, combining Indian, Chinese, European and Creole influences. We know you’ll love The Plantation for its Creole specialities and beachfront setting, while The Dining Room, overlooking the split-level pool, serves an impressive breakfast and a choice of buffet or set menu international cuisine for dinner. The Verandah is a laid-back lunch venue, and trying one of its delicious ice creams is an absolute must and a real winner with the little ones. The comfortable lounge of The Bar makes it the ideal place to stop for an afternoon tea or for evening cocktails accompanied by live music.
