The Residence Mauritius is an elegant, colonial style property set on a mile long stretch of pristine, white sand beach. There is something special about the traditional charm of this property that makes you feel at home from the moment you check-in. The resort is popular with families who return year after year thanks to the outstanding Kids Club but is also a great option for couples looking for a laid back beachfront retreat.
Rooms and suites at The Residence are comfortable and homely, and the old world charm that can be seen throughout the property extends seamlessly to the décor and furnishings in the accommodation. We would particularly recommend the colonial oceanfront rooms for their stunning views across the turquoise lagoon. Interconnecting rooms are also available, making this a great option for families.
Cuisine at The Residence Mauritius combines Mauritian flavours and spices with international and continental cuisine. offers a choice of three restaurants. Our favourite place to dine is The Plantation Restaurant, offering oceanfront dining and specialising in seafood and Creole cuisine. Not to be missed is afternoon tea in the elegant bar, where guests can also enjoy a selection of drinks, including local rums, and live music in the evening.
The Residence Mauritius is a great option for a family holiday. Younger travellers will love The Planters Kids Club, which offers a range of activities such as treasure hunts, cookery classes and picnics. The wellness facilities are also a highlight, with an elegant spa offering a range of treatments in a peaceful setting beneath the main resort. Nothing beats the Belle Mare Beach though - the perfect spot to while away the day with the trade winds offering a refreshing breeze.
I loved the spa at The Residence. It’s a little unusual in that it’s located under the main resort, but it feels so luxurious and peaceful. I could easily have spent hours in the tranquil relaxation room after my treatment.
