Inspired by the colonial mansions and plantation houses of a bygone age, The Residence blends timeless elegance with modern luxuries to create a sophisticated retreat.
The spacious rooms and suites each open onto a private balcony or terrace. Views are either of the ocean and kilometre-long white sand beach or a leafy corner of the 25 acres of tropical gardens that surround the resort. Interiors are a study in sophistication, with silks and linens in cool hues of ivory and cream, marble bathrooms and separate dressing rooms creating a 1920s feel.
This sense of a former era is enhanced by the impeccable service at the hotel, with check-in held in the comfort of your room, and a member of staff (whose own attire mirrors the hotel's elegance) at hand to unpack and iron items for you. Indeed, all rooms have a personal butler to attend to guests' every need.
Such attention to detail extends to the restaurants, where the tables are decorated each evening to match the theme of the meal. The Dining Room, built from tropical hardwoods and poised above the pool, serves gourmet cuisine inspired by Mauritian spices and flavours. More casual fare comes with the poolside verandah, offering light lunches, while delicious seafood and Creole dishes are served in a stunning oceanfront setting at The Plantation. Here, live S駡 performances ' traditional music and dance ' add to the ambience on certain nights.
When you're not enjoying complimentary water sports on the lagoon from the superb powder white stretch of beach, play tennis, volleyball or take time out for a pampering treatment in the Sanctuary Spa. Other soothing activities include an hour's Serenity Walk on the shore, yoga and meditation.
The Sanctuary Spa
The Sanctuary Spa features nine beautifully furnished 'cabins' where treatments are held, including one set in tropical gardens overlooking the lagoon. The restful d飯r, in soft natural tones, is inspired by Zen philosophy. The spa uses the prestigious Swiss brand of products, La Prairie, in a range of treatments for men and women. We particularly recommend the Caviar Face Treatment ' as indulgent as it sounds. |
