Feelings of nostalgia for a lost age of gracious hotel-keeping will instantly be assuaged for guests at this exclusive luxury resort property, whose quiet sophistication, understated elegance, attentive service and glorious setting make it one of Mauritius’s in-demand choices for the connoisseur of style and fashion. Harmonising tradition and the present day, the pristine buildings of The Residence Mauritius cluster among 25 acres of lush tropical gardens beside a long east coast beach of powder-white sand. A first glimpse of the majestic lobby, with its slender cathedral-like forms, sets the impressive scene. It’s a theme sustained throughout amid delicate shades of beige and tropical hardwoods, antiques from remote corners of Asia – and (in the luxurious rooms and suites) by white shutters, honey-coloured woods, wrought iron and cool tiles that unite to enhance a sense of space and tranquillity. The decoration of the new 135 colonial-style rooms and 28 suites is an inspired blend of sobriety and elegance. The sun’s dance on the shutters sifts into the interior to create a melody of light and dark, its mottled shadows wavering over a muted colour-scheme of white and delicate shades of beige, picking out harmonies of honey-coloured woods and wrought iron, [...]

Terry Youens — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:16:34 +0000

Located at Flic en Flac, La Pirogue, on the west coast of the island, is contiguous to its sister resort, Sugar Beach. It is on one of the country’s finest beaches of immaculate white sand over one kilometre long and nestles in a magnificent tropical garden, a remarkable palm-grove of 14 hectares pleasantly punctuated with colourful hibiscus and fragrant frangipani. Everything here is reminiscent of the traditional Mauritian fishing boat from which the resort takes its name – from the main building inspired by a white sail floating in the wind, to the cottages built in local volcanic rock and crowned with wood and thatch. Bathed in light and warmth, with fragrant frangipani flowers delicately disposed here and there and ceiling fans with large blades of marine wood, the guest rooms and their terraces are an invitation to lazing about and day dreaming. Standard guest rooms (some communicating) are ideal for families. Superior guest rooms are grouped in small villages immediately fronting the Indian Ocean. Each can accommodate a family of four, thanks to a sofa bed or two convertible armchairs. Completely redesigned and now more spacious and tropical, the main restaurant, Thatches, provides a great energy-and-vitamin start to the [...]
