Furnished with colonial armchairs and seductive chaise lounges…

Concierge Traveller knows of a resort set in 25 acres of tropical gardens hemming a long, palm-fringed beach. The Residence Mauritius is a graceful hotel with the charm and character of a colonial home, evocative of Mauritius in the 1920s. Its elegant style harks back to a bygone era but it has the sophisticated accoutrements of the 21st century. True to its name, it feels more like the home of a wealthy friend than a typical luxury resort, not least due to the personal attentions of five hundred staff members. A honeymoon is a much-anticipated time to unwind and privately celebrate. The bonus inclusions of this package make planning decisions delightfully easy.

The design evokes turn-of-the century sugar plantation houses and the all-white colour scheme is brilliant against the green foliage and azure swimming pool. The two-level lobby is a grand space. It is dominated by impressive white pillars, carved wooden balustrades and the filigree timber lacework that adorns traditional Creole homes.

This Residence is furnished with colonial armchairs and seductive chaise lounges, while the balconies on the upper level are romantic spots to take in the views over the sculptured swimming pool and Indian Ocean beyond. A space to embrace ocean breezes while indulging in a cocktail or two.

The building sits on a long arc of beach at Belle Mare, on the island’s beautiful east coast. The 135 stunningly appointed rooms and 28 suites, each with balcony, patio or terrace, are grouped in wings on either side of the grand lobby. Guests can choose from garden rooms overlooking a cascading waterfall, a leafy sanctuary dotted with coconut palms, or ocean view and ocean front rooms. All are spacious with walk in robes, large marble bathrooms with separate soak tub and shower room.

THE RESIDENCE HONEYMOON PACKAGE INCLUDES:

- 7 NIGHTS ACCOMMODATION IN A COLONIAL OCEAN FRONT ROOM – RETURN ECONOMY CLASS AIRFARE & TAXES EX SYDNEY WITH AIR AUSTRAL – ROUND TRIP AIRPORT TRANSFERS – BONUS BREAKFAST & DINNER DAILY, FRESH FRUIT & CHAMPAGNE ON ARRIVAL, 1 BEACH BAG PACK FOR THE BRIDE & GROOM, A CATAMARAN CRUISE INLCUDING LUNCH AND SOFT DRINKS
