The ResidenceMauritius

The luxurious The Residence hotel is situated along a pristine white sandy beach washed by the waters of the Indian Ocean. It is surrounded by tropical gardens. It is an ideal base from which to explore the eastern coast of Mauritius with its beautiful bays, lagoons and diving sites. The hotel's architecture is reminiscent of turn-of-the-century plantation houses. The decor combines elegance and colonial style. Excellent recipes from around the world are the basis for delicious dishes, including Mauritian, combining Indian, European, Chinese and Creole traditions. During your stay at this exclusive hotel, it is worth going deeper into the island, where you will find lush greenery, highland tea plantations and sugar cane fields.

Mauritius is known as the place of origin of the now extinct dodo bird (dodo drone), but the island is more associated with the giant tortoises present here, which are protected in a reserve on Ile aux Aigrettes (a small island off the coast of Mauritius). To immerse yourself in the local culture, it is recommended to visit the market town of Center de Flacq or the village of Poste de Flacq, where there is a Hindu temple called Sagar Shiv Mandir, which seems to float on the water. Going south, it is worth seeing Lake Talao, which is a holy place for Hindus who believe that it contains water from the Ganges River. While visiting the densely forested Black River Gorges National Park, guests can observe many endangered animal species. A must-see is the place known as Seven Colored Earths, a geological formation in the town of Chamarel. These are sand dunes in 7 different colors. There are also 3 18-hole golf courses on the east coast.
