About The Residence Hotel

Colonial-style resort set in lush gardens along a white sand beach

The Residence, Mauritius is a luxury hotel situated on a beautiful white sand beach on the east coast of the island. It is regarded as one of the jewels of the international hotel scene. The mile-long beach fringed by luscious tropical gardens, the refined and deliciously nostalgic decor inspired by the turn-of-the-century plantation houses, the butler service surpassing the colonial palaces of yesteryear, and the exotic and delicate cuisine are just some of the factors which have contributed to the hotel’s success. It is perfect for a romantic retreat or for a family holiday.

Property details

The property

This luxury Mauritius resort blends modern elegance with classic, colonial style that envelops you in an endearing sense of nostalgia. The large, lagoon-like pool is a central feature of the resort and is the perfect spot for relaxing. There are three restaurants. They include the Plantation, based in a spectacular oceanfront setting and serving imaginative Creole and international cuisine. The Dining Room is made entirely of wood and overlooks the pool. The Verandah is perfect for light lunches.

The rooms

There are 163 rooms and suites, some very close to the beach. They are decorated with a blend of simplicity and elegance. The colonial garden and ocean-view rooms have marble bathrooms and luxurious walk-in closets. The junior and senior suites offer elegant dark-wood living areas. Drops of ylang ylang are infused in the rooms every evening to provide subtle, sensual fragrance. A butler is assigned to each room and will unpack luggage, and provide other services.

Activities

Activities at The Residence include a variety of water sports such as fishing and diving, and a wide variety of land activities such as golf and horse riding, which can be arranged nearby. The recently refurbished Sanctuary Spa offers a range of holistic treatments, taking its inspiration from "Zen" philosophy. Young children have complimentary access to the Planters Children’s Club. There are activities tailored for teenagers too. There are 3 floodlit tennis courts, and a fitness centre too.
