The Residence Mauritus

Like leafing through the pages of an old photo album The Residence Mauritius awakens a nostalgic feeling. Although only open for 10 years The Residence Mauritius is already considered as one of the jewels of the international hotel scene. Its mile-long beach of immaculate white sand fringed by tropical gardens its refined and deliciously nostalgic decor inspired by turn-of-the-century plantation houses its butler service surpassing the colonial palaces of yesteryear its exotic and delicate cuisine. are only some of the ingredients which have contributed to the hotels success. The decoration of the oversized rooms and suites -from 54 to 164 square metres- is an inspired blend of sobriety and elegance. The suns 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. The same sophistication is present in the hotel staffs attire- the women wear long sand-toned layered dresses or silk saris in natural colours while the men wear trousers and raw linen waistcoats. The hotel also prides itself on its cuisine whose symphony of subtle aromas tastes and colours can be savoured in its three restaurants. The Dining Room restaurant made entirely of wood and delicately positioned overlooking the pool is an open invitation to discover the thousand and one savours of a sophisticated cuisine. The Verandah serves light lunches around the pool. The Plantation a planters house by the beach offers a wide range of seafood and a selection of dishes cooked with local herbs and spices. The bar spacious yet intimate whose walls are hung with a fine collection of engravings of scenes from Mauritiuss history awaits you for late breakfast traditional tea or an exotic cocktail.
