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 Residence Mauritius - Swimming Pool
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, highlighting nuances in the sandy tiles. In the bathrooms, marble and wood are elegantly combined.
The Residence Mauritius - Colonial Suite
Reliving the magnificence and splendour of yesteryear’s palaces, a butler is assigned to each room and suite. He will unpack and pack your luggage, run a bath and take care of your laundry and ironing service (2 items ironed per person upon arrival free of charge).
The hotel prides itself on its cuisine, where native produce of the island is blended with a diversity of fine recipes from around the world offering a symphony of subtle aromas, tastes and colours which can be savoured in the hotel’s three superb restaurants.
The Dining Room features a sumptuous breakfast offering both Western and local specialities, as well as a selection of freshly squeezed fruit juices. The atmosphere of the restaurant and cuisine transforms to an à la carte menu in the evening. The heady spices of Mauritius are combined with international recipes, producing a fusion of enticing flavours.
The Plantation features the marriage of a spectacular oceanfront setting with an original approach to the freshest seafood and Creole cuisine making this restaurant one of the island’s favourites. At night, guests will also enjoy live Sega dancing performances and original local entertainment several times a week. The Verandah features a choice of exciting light dishes served around the pool overlooking the shimmering ocean. An impressive selection of toasted sandwiches, oven cooked pizzas, generous salads and home-made ice creams are offered.
