The Residence Mauritius, an oceanfront haven, offers endless opportunities to explore the rich Mauritian culture.
Offering a plethora of natural beauty, exhilarating activities, incredible hospitality and centuries-old culture, the magical island of Mauritius boasts pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a fascinating blend of cultures, cuisine, and history. Nestled on the island’s east coast, The Residence Mauritius is a beachfront sanctuary where colonial-era charm meets modern luxury, offering an exquisite escape for those who seek both relaxation and adventure.
An Oceanfront Haven
Echoing the grandeur of Mauritius’ 19th-century plantation houses, The Residence Mauritius exudes a refined elegance where nostalgia and contemporary comfort sit together. Tucked amid lush tropical gardens and overlooking a dazzling stretch of ivory-white sand, this resort is the epitome of barefoot luxury—an invitation to unwind in a setting where time seems to slow down.
The Residence Mauritius is home to 135 elegantly appointed rooms and 28 suites, designed as intimate sanctuaries of comfort and tranquility. Sunlight filters through wooden shutters, casting soft shadows over a palette of ivory and beige, while large marble-clad bathrooms add a touch of opulence. As evening falls, the air is delicately perfumed with ylang-ylang, creating an ambiance of pure serenity. Elevating your stay, a personal butler is always on hand to anticipate your every need—from unpacking your suitcase to drawing a fragrant bath.
A Culinary Journey Through Mauritius
Food is an integral part of the travel experience, and The Residence Mauritius curates an exceptional gastronomic adventure that mirrors the island’s cultural diversity and offers exotic cuisine that captures the true essence of Potpourri island flavours. Four distinctive restaurants and bars take you on a flavourful journey—from light poolside bites at The Verandah to seafood feasts at The Plantation, where the ocean’s bounty is savoured with an uninterrupted sea view. The culinary artistry extends to farm-to-table dining with the Earth Basket concept, celebrating fresh, locally grown produce from the resort’s own kitchen gardens.
A Playground for Wellness and Adventure
Step into The Sanctuary, an indulgent spa dedicated to holistic wellness and inspired by Asian healing traditions. Here, ten serene treatment rooms provide the perfect setting for rejuvenation, offering an array of massages and bespoke wellness programs. You can also enjoy daily yoga and Tai Chi sessions or immerse in a state of tranquillity within the open-air spa pavilion, where the gentle ocean breeze enhances every treatment.
If you want to spend some time in nature, Mauritius is a nature lover’s paradise, offering everything from lush national parks to marine encounters with dolphins. You can explore the island’s breathtaking biodiversity on guided hikes, witness rare birds amid towering ebony trees, or experience an adrenaline rush at Casela Nature Park, home to some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife. For those drawn to the ocean, an array of water sports awaits—windsurfing, paddleboarding, glass-bottom boat excursions, and full-day catamaran cruises to hidden coves. And for golf enthusiasts, Mauritius is a premier destination, boasting ten world-class courses. You can enjoy exclusive access to the 18-hole Ile aux Cerfs golf course, designed by the legendary Bernhard Langer, with complimentary green fees for stays of seven nights or more.
The Ultimate Year-Round Destination
