A distinguished member of design hotelsTM. With palm trees fringing powdery white sand beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean embracing its shores, time in Mauritius is the perfect foil to the jet set routine. You'll think of the colonial mansions of bygone days as you step into The Residence s pillared lobby. Stop by any time for drinks and conversation, live music and livelier company. Go parasailing by day, play tennis under the stars. Feel the daily grind melt away as THE SANCTUARY pampers you with La Prairie spa treatments, yoga or tai chi. Dine formally on Indian, Chinese and Creole specialities fragrant with all the spices of the island in The Dining Room, or on the oceanfronts freshest seafood at The Plantation. Alternatively, let your personal butler serve you on your terrace or balcony. He will be on hand around the clock to ensure that every wish is promptly fulfilled.
