TAMASSA

Tamassa stands at the end of a long avenue of mature coconut palms towering skywards:

Opened in December 2007,  and situated on the south-west coast at Bel Ombre, Tamassa promises guests a contemporary and informal holiday experience.  It is a new tropical haven complemented by a warm service attitude and cosy atmosphere.  Its traditional Mauritian architecture married with contemporary décor uses plenty of natural light and is complemented by natural materials and simple use of bold colour.  A generous number of sports and leisure activities include a spa, nightclub, PADI dive centre and Kids Club to entertain all ages, whilst golf can be arranged locally.

Traditional Mauritian architecture married with contemporary décor:

The Standard Room is strikingly attractive, with pure, simple lines contrasting with bright green touches on the bedspreads, and an inspired image of a bird of paradise on the wall above the headboard.  The Egyptian cotton and the bed cover have been specially designed for the hotel.  With the terrace door wide open, the colours in the rooms seem to blend with the trees and plants outside.  A sliding, wooden door opens up to reveal a spacious bathroom, bathed in natural light.  As well as a corner bath, there is a separate shower cubicle edged in sintered-glass tiling, two washbowls on stands and wardrobe space.  The use of solid wood for all the doors and many of the fittings, gives a warm, rich feel throughout.

Warm, sunny colours envelope the Superior Rooms: the décor is attractively uncluttered, with clean, contemporary lines offset here by touches of red orange.   In the Deluxe Rooms, an orchid feature again predominates above the headboard of the super-king size bed but this time shades of fuchsia are featured throughout to dramatic effect.

Restaurants & Bars:

The restaurant’s terrace overlooks the swimming pool and has an uninterrupted view of the lagoon.  Beams of light from gobos illuminate the pure, contemporary lines of the interior, where shades of orange merge into rounded lines and cubic shapes.  The main restaurant is divided into three and based on the concept of three open kitchens, offering a range of international cuisine, with buffet breakfasts, lunches and à la carte or buffet dining.

The Beach Bar & Restaurant is a place to relax with your feet in the sand, watching the sea, having a hearty salad lunch or enjoying the Latin cuisine.  The dinner menu varies from themed evenings to buffets, to à la carte.

The main bar is split-level, with a unique décor combining contemporary and traditional touches.  The wooded bar counter is at table-height and the bar itself is surrounded by large, comfortable armchairs.  White and turquoise predominate in the colour scheme, offset by wood, steel and glass fittings, to create a feeling of warm, contemporary elegance.  From the ceiling, globes of light add to the subtle atmosphere and reflect in the ivory-coloured flooring, studded with bluish decorative tiling.  The Lounge Bar offers a selection of cocktails, rums, beers and spirits of international brands.

Spa Senses:

In view of respecting the concept of Tamassa, Senses is based on an integration of Mauritian island ambience and contemporary style.  Relax back as soothing music and the aroma of vanilla fill the air.  From the moment the guests enter the spa, they breathe and feel an atmosphere of revival, while cocooned in beauty and serenity.  The luxury Spa Suites and spacious Spa Garden makes it an ideal setting to ‘Spa Together’.  Whether it is for a relaxing moment for two, a group or a special individual treatment, the spa concept has been conceived to host and bespoke guests’ perfect spa experience.  Parents may ‘Spa Together’, whilst their children are safely enjoying themselves in the Kids Club – Tilapia.
