The Residence Mauritius

This fabulous 5* property is indeed very special, it is based on the East coast of Mauritius and is very different from other hotels.

As soon as you step in the lobby, you feel the grandeur and luxury prevailing at this lovely 5* hotel.  The Residence is a small boutique low rise hotel with about lots of natural high quality wood and furniture with cream furnishings.  The rooms are all very beautifully designed and located all along the beach.

There is a choice of 2 restaurants to eat from, both very high quality food.  The service at both restaurants is impeccable, I particularly like the beach restaurant with direct access to the soft warm white sand and sea.  This restaurant serves lunch and fresh seafood everyday as well as buffet on some evenings.

The staffs are particularly nice, they cannot wait to place a nice soft beach towel on the daybed as soon as you sit down by the swimming pool and never forget to offer a refreshing cold bottle of water.

This hotel has the special touch to pamper their guests, I cannot recommend it enough.

Veranda Grand Baie – Mauritius

Intercontinental Mauritius

I have some great offers to the Intercontinental Mauritius holidays. I am going to give some information here.  However, instead of me writing it, I thought I’d get the hotel’s sales manager to put a few words together.

This is from Shane Jameson: Intercontinental Mauritius Holidays

“I think that convenience is a major aspect when choosing a holiday destination. I don’t want to get into barefoot luxury, but you’d be suprised how many people come to Mauritius looking for holidays such as island getaway, that ‘Robinson Crusoe’/’Castaway’ experience and then once it’s on their plate…well, they don’t want it any more. Enter the InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort. In a nutshell, you feel like you are miles away but, in actual fact, are 25 minutes from all the amenities that can cause anxiety when you’re on vacation. Hospitals – that’s plural, shopping malls (also plural) are all a stones throw away so we tick the location box quite well.

For Intercontinental Mauritius Holidays, we’ve got pretty much two of everything in what is a relatively symmetrical resort. Two pools (one heated), two breakfast restaurants (one a la carte), to distinct sides (wings) and last but not least, two nights of the week we have fabulous outdoor dinners that are included on the Half Board, Full Board or All Inclusive packages we have. If it’s wanting to ‘get lost’ then we can show you places you’ll never be found. Alternatively if morning aqua-arobics, a gym workout and a ‘kiki’ by the pool bar are your thing, then that door is also wide open.

Variety is the spice of life, on all the three different meal basis’ we have full dine around in 5 restaurants an three bars. If you don’t like our 14 day rotational menus, then we can apply food and beverage credits against an a la carte menu. All water sports both motorised and non motorised are free with the exception of the Catamaran and the dive centre. We have free wireless internet in all the restaurants, the lobby and the beach – so, if desired, you can update your status, instagram or tweet as often as you want. 120 Deluxe Ocean Facing Rooms, 40 Two-Bedroom Family Rooms, 20 Jacuzzi Suites and 10 Presidential Suites…we love round numbers. Convenience, space, mod-con’s, luxury all in a stunning resort.”

Pure Luxury – St Regis Mauritius

St Regis Mauritius

The St Regis Mauritius is set on the beautiful Le Morne beach in the South West of the Island. Although the hotel only opened in October 2012 the opulent Colonial Style architecture makes the hotel feel like it has been part of Mauritius’ heritage for may years.

The hotel prides itself on excellent service and each of the delightful rooms has beautiful sea views and access to personal Butler service. All rooms have fabulous bathrooms with sensuous egg shaped baths, I made the most of this and arranged for Hugo my butler to draw a luxurious perfumed bath which was very relaxing after a hard afternoon sunbathing.

The St Regis offers 6 restaurants and their Signature dining is at ‘Simply Indian’ where the menus are supervised by the award winning chef Atul Kutchar. We dined in the Floating Market which offers a fusion of Pan Asian cuisine, and it was here that I first tasted Wagyu Beef which certainly delighted my taste buds.

For those that wish to relax and chill, you can enjoy sunrise yoga on the lawn with the sound of the sea to relax you or take advantage of the 2000 sqm spa, where I experienced my best ever back massage.

If you are more energetic then the hotel also has a great Water sports Centre which is a centre of excellence for Kite surfing on the Island. They also offer a PADI Dive Centre and complimentary pedal and sail boats.

For Pampering and Style the St Regis is fantastic – call me for more details.

The Wonderful Le Touessrok

Le Touessrock

Well from the moment I entered Le Touessrock I knew this hotel was special. The warm welcome with cooling towels, fresh fruit skewers, calming sea view combined with the sweet smell of Frangipani  was like heaven to me. My room enjoyed views over one of the hotel’s own islands called Ile aux Cerfs and sitting on my balcony I could hear the sea gently lapping below. This beautifully appointed room had a Sea View and fabulous bathroom with the sensuous egg shaped bath that I really love.

Before I visited Le Touessrock I had heard about their other Islands, Ile aux Cerfs and Ilot Mangenie, however, I can only say that you must take the complimentary boat service to visit these Islands and discover a whole new dimension to this hotel.

This is now on my list of hotels that I must take my husband to!!! – call me for more details.

Best All inclusive hotel in Mauritius

Preskil Beach Resort

Is a beautiful resort set on the most picturesque corner of Mauritius. The hotel is situated on a private peninsula on the south east coast of Mauritius.    All around the hotel, you can see unspoilt clear blue sea, white sandy beaches, mountains.   Further afield, there are small pirogues passing by other several inhabited islets among which is also the natural reserve of Ile aux Aigrettes.   Preskil Beach Resort is a magical place to stay at and is one of my favourites on the island.

After 12 hour flight from London, we were pleased to travel only a short distance, approx 15 minutes drive from the airport to the hotel. I have stayed at the four star Preskil Beach Resort on several occasions with the family, children and adults and on every occasion, the service from every member of staff has exceeded our expectations by far. This hotel offers unbelievable 5* service at unbeatable 4* prices.

All rooms are situated on either first or second floors. There are no high rise buildings which is a big bonus. I particularly do not find high rise buildings relaxing at all. On different occasions, we stayed in the Prestige Cottage located on the ground floor of the individual cottages. Each individual cottage has 2 Prestige Cottages  on the ground floor and a Deluxe Penthouse on the 1st floor.  Both room types offer bath and shower with the most amazing seaviews in the quietest area of the property. Lagoon rooms are the lead-in rooms with shower only are spread out harmoniously across the island with sea views.   The rooms are clean, spacious and cosy. For an exceptional vacation on Koh Samui, you should definitely consider staying in one of the luxury villas koh samui.

Food and Drinks

The hotel offers 3 restaurants and bars. The main restaurant “Spices” offers an array of most delicious buffet style foods at breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had the most amazing Mauritian lentil soup and rice made from the best spices on the island and the Chef kindly gave me her recipe which I have tried and treasured for years now. Whilst you are there, you must try “Charka Steakhouse & Bar” which has also been our favourite steak restaurant for years with its fresh meat directly imported from South Africa. You can also enjoy nice Mediterranean cuisine in shades of “Tapas Grill & Beach Bar”  with your feet tucked in the hot sand.  Another must try is the Indigo Bar.   This lively meeting-place offers an international selection of exotic cocktails as well as light meals during the day.   In the evening, the bar is an ideal setting to enjoy a warm, relaxing atmosphere with either live or background music.

All locally bottled drinks are included in your All-inclusive basis together with imported drinks shown by an asterisk on the menu making it really good value for money. In addition, the same is available from your mini-bar menu which makes it so wonderful to be able to sit in your balcony or terrace with a nice cold beer.

What makes this property even better value for money is that your All-inclusive finishes at 3 pm on check-out day rather than at 11 am which applies for most hotels.  If you have an evening flight, this is just a perfect added value to your prefect holidays.

Weddings

I have arranged many many weddings at this hotel in the past and every time, guests have been overwhelmed by the attention and the service that they have received from staff, especially from the wedding co-ordinator. The wedding locations are just breathtaking and you feel so privileged and pampered.

I can highly recommend this hotel for honeymooners, couples, families.  They will love this property as much as we adore it.

Delicious Mauritius!

What can I say about Mauritius that hasn’t been said before? Every time I visit Mauritius (I am very fortunate to have visited numerous times) It never fails to take my breath away . Having had my own wedding there at the fabulous Residence Hotel , located near a small coastal town of Belle Mare on the East Coast.

Mauritius obviously has a very special place in my heart. Even at my very first visit I knew it was a very special place. Mauritius is best known for its romantic beautiful beaches and stunning hotels with it famous hospitality for me it’s all of this but so much more. The beaches and the glorious Indian Ocean are breath takingly beautiful that is true but there is so much more to it than this.  If you can bear to drag yourself away from your stunning hotel you will find a different world  from lush mountainous forests , beautiful nature parks with endemic flora and fauna , to multi-coloured volcanic sands.

There is a huge variety of cultures here which combines and results in the most amazing mouth-watering food. From amazing local street vendors where they make the most delicious fresh gajaks ( mauritian snack/delicacy) to award winning fine dining restaurants.

There are most stunning settings for outdoor dining such as Domaine Anna where you can have a fantastic meal and then walk through their beautiful gardens with waterfalls and water lily covered, coi rich pools with of course giant land tortoises! If that wasn’t enough there is beautiful flora and fauna through out their beautiful gardens! We were lucky enough to have our Hindu wedding ceremony there and it was absolutely perfect!

Of course the majority of visitors are arriving for a luxurious break and Mauritius certainly doesnt disappoint on that score! The  5 star hotels are out of this world and the thing that sets them apart for me from other comparable destinations is the service of their staff. I can honestly say that the service is second to none, they go above and beyond the call of duty and know exactly how to make their guests feel like Royalty!

5* plus Resorts with added Wow factor!!

The Residence – Understated elegance and luxury from a bygone era. From the moment you step into the grand entrance of The Residence you are transported back in time to a luxurious colonial hideaway. Guests are greeted by a symbolic gong on arrival this is the start of a fabulous relaxing luxury holiday. Staff greet you with a warm smile and a traditional greeting which continues throughout your stay. The hotel prides itself on its wonderful food experiences and themed evenings.  The elegance and serenity of this wonderful resort and the staff set this apart from the crowd.

One & Only Le St Geran – was the first luxury hotel in Mauritius. The One & Only group of hotels are notorious for the incredible service and stunning resorts – Le St Geran certainly doesn’t disappoint on either! it is quite simply stunning which sees guests return time and time again.

Le Touessrok –  Part of The Leading Hotels of the World Is a romantic secluded hideaway where guests can be pampered in the fabulous Givency Spa or play Golf on one of the most stunning golf courses in Mauritius set on the gorgeous island of Ille aux Cerfs.

Le Prince Maurice – Part of the renowned group of Constance Hotels. This beautiful resort is very romantic, with its ‘floating’ restaurant Le Barachois….. The accommodation is stunning , comprising of Junior Suites and Villas, some are situated perched overlooking the natural fish reserve on the edge of the Lagoon.

Mauritius Holidays

If you’re near a window, look south-eastwards for a moment. There, 6,000 miles over the horizon, deep in the Indian Ocean, lie the blindingly white palm-edged beaches, blue lagoons, coral reefs, emerald sugar-cane fields and purple mountain peaks of Mauritius. Another world? Yes. But in just 12 hours you could be there on one of our mauritius holidays.

When it comes to today’s faraway holiday preference, a holiday in Mauritius is definitely up there with the leaders. Nature has done its bit, of course, with exotic tropical scenes that will etch themselves on your memory. A stylish gallery of world-class resort hotels adds all the essential creature comforts and leisure pursuits. Scattered along the 205-mile coastline and nestling contentedly beside picture-book beaches, each has its own character. You’ll feel instantly at home. That’s what Mauritius does best.

Island Adventure Mauritius Holidays

Mountains, deep ravines and gorges offer short hikes and mountain bike trips (a chance to see some endemic birdlife and wild monkeys) – while, offshore, supervised sea-kayaking excursions can be booked.

Exploring by car is a popular way to discover the island’s lush and often lofty interior. Don’t miss the waterfront at Port Louis and do visit the National Park in the beautiful interior.

Nightlife & Party with Locals Mauritius Holidays

Most larger hotels (and many smaller ones) ensure that their guests can enjoy live band entertainment and dancing on-site, with regular Sega dance events. If you want more options to hand then the liveliest area to stay is Grand Baie, with its restaurants, bars and discos.

Gourmet Cuisine & Dining Out

French, Chinese, Creole, and Indian influences have all gone into the exotic Mauritius culinary pot! Whether your main course leans toward Indian curries or Chinese sweet-and-sour fish, they and a host of exotic new flavours await the jaded palate.

A colourful ethnic mix means you can look forward to some wonderful palate, pleasing cuisine.
