Heritage Resorts share the 1,300-hectare Domaine du Bel Ombre nature reserve in Mauritius, offering couples, families, groups of friends and solo travellers an experience of authentic Mauritius. Whether it’s through island excursions, authentic Mauritian dining or locally-sourced spa ingredients, the resorts envelop guests in island life.
Refurbished at the end of 2020, this award-winning all-inclusive resort offers thrilling excursions including a UNESCO biosphere trek, the Riverine Trail by eco-buggy, ranger-led wildlife discovery sorties, Mauritius Wildlife Foundation nature trails and other local adventures.
To soothe any aching muscles or just to rejuvenate, your package includes one complimentary treatment per stay at the spa – or even per day if you choose the Premium all-inclusive package. The only 100% Mauritian spa, Seven Colours dispenses treatments based on natural local ingredients in straw huts in the gardens or on the beach. Combine them with on-site ‘forest bathing’, wellness walks and yoga in the nature reserve, and you’ll come away a new person.
There’s also excellent dining in venues such as the toes-in-the-sand Infinity Blue and under the stars at Boma with its authentic African shows and campfires; highly reputed childcare and children’s amenities including a mini rope-park; and plenty of scope for couples to relax at the adult-only pool and the hip beach club with its restaurant serving tapas, family Sunday brunches and more, its gin bar, its cocktail bar and it rosé cellar.
Named after 19th-century Irish naturalist Charles Telfair, who lived in the area, this all-suite property (part of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World group) showcases the rich heritage of its island through sustainable experiences in its own 2,500-acre Domaine de Bel Ombre nature reserve. These include eco-quadding, buggy tours, wellness walks, UNESCO Biosphere nature treks, forest bathing and Mauritius Wildlife Foundation nature trails.
You can also get to know the island better by sampling 12 restaurants within the Domaine, including afternoon tea and Beach Club brunches, as part of the resort’s unique Gourmet Bliss dining passport that features in its all-inclusive package. Other on-site dining includes refined Mauritian cuisine using own-grown ingredients in the adult-only environs of the 19th-century plantation house Le Château. There’s also the Cellar Experience whereby you can sample New World wines chosen by the in-house sommeliers, accompanied by cold cuts and terrines.
This property gives you all the space, seclusion and flexibility of a luxury villa holiday with access to the five-star facilities of the two aforementioned hotels and use of two championship golf courses.
With fabulous outdoor areas including a gazebo, a private infinity pool and a barbecue, these stylish, bright and airy villas are perfect for multigenerational holidays or gatherings with extended family or friends, and for golfers’ holidays. You can book on a self-catering, bed-and-breakfast, half-board or even all-inclusive basis to suit your needs, and there is also the option of butlers, private chefs and grocery delivery.
An extra-special experience not to be missed during your stay is an authentic Mauritian lunch at Kaz’Alala, a B&B on the Domaine with a pop-up restaurant serving local cuisine. There are also tempting packages including a full-day catamaran cruise followed by a sea-food feast cooked for you in your villa.
