We know our travellers sometimes want a holiday that's little more outside the box. You might say you want gorgeous white sand, blissful spa experiences, crystal blue waters and unrivalled cuisine – but you also want a venue with personality.
The Residence, Mauritius ticks all of those boxes… and a few more. Yes, it oozes elegant luxury, and the super-soft sand is as white as you could ever have imagined, but it also delivers a certain Colonial style, which prevents this stunning resort from being a mere Magnolia option in Mauritius.

While we’ve already noted the colonial style here, a nod to this resort’s heritage, you certainly wouldn’t say it lacks a contemporary edge. The accommodation is simply decorated but oozes style, and comes packaged with plenty of sumptuous furnishings. If you’re nudging up the budget you’ll find Nespresso machines and four posters. An adult-only area of the hotel accommodation means you can choose to be a little fussier about who’s next door – should you wish to.
With views over the tropical gardens, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and a large marble bathroom, this is just what the doctor ordered after a day of tricky sunbathing positions or watersports activities. There’s a living area with a desk, and you can choose from king or twin beds.
You’ll feel like you’re in heaven here, luxuriating in your beautiful ocean fronting room as you listen to ocean waves lulling you to sleep at night. King or twin beds are your sleeping options, while the bathrooms feature a separate bath and shower…and plenty of marble.
These spectacular suites offer you the full indulgence of a king-size four-poster bed, a large ocean-front terrace (with a sun bed all set for your private reclining action), and many also interconnect with Ocean Front Rooms. You’ll be sad to leave for sure.
Surrounded by the azure ocean, and on a mile-long white-sand beach, The Residence is on the east coast of Mauritius. While we know a lot of people love a holiday in a serene, tranquil destination like this so that they can lay back and ignore the world, but if you are something of a culture-vulture, it’s to be remembered that you’re within easy reach of two UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Given that Mauritius is regarded as a real combination of cultural influences, you can expect this to play out in the wonderful food options throughout your stay.You’ll feast on everything from Indian cuisine, to European, or Creole-style. There are three main eateries for you to choose from – some more formal than others – and also a bar, which serves afternoon tea and evening cocktails.
Start the day here for a delicious buffet breakfast, and then watch the style and substance turn into a sumptuous dining experience by the pool, come sunset. White tablecloths and subtle lighting make this a romantic setting for couples in the evening.

You know what your Mum said… always avoid the sun between 12 and 3. Well, if that’s your approach to your sunbathing schedule, you can while away three hours in the relaxed setting of The Verandah, beneath a parasol. Food here is delicious, light and beautifully presented. Think toasted sandwiches, pizzas, and healthy salads or indulgent homemade ice-cream.

Diving, zip-lining, snorkelling, or lounging in the spa – you’ve got all the options right here to hand, and all can be carried out in an idyllic setting, within or beside crystal blue waters.
There are a few features among those offered here at The Residence for which you may have to wander slightly off-site, but we’re talking a mere matter of minutes.
It’s always disappointing when you get to an ocean-side holiday like this one and discover that the resort or hotel doesn’t actually include the entire catalogue of watersports for your participation.
Well, you can forget that niggle. Here, you’ll enjoy water-skiing, hobie cat sailing, kayaking diving, underwater walks – and you can even nip to the yacht club next door and head off on glass-bottomed boat trips. Tuition is available, and advance booking is definitely advised to ensure you don’t miss out.

If you are inclined to get a little more taste of the heritage here, we’d certainly suggest you pay a visit to the Black River Gorges National Park (available by booking with your concierge).
Here, you’ll see protected tropical trees – including the Mauritius ebony. It’s sometimes forgotten that this is an area of such great history and intrigue, and those who do take the time to explore via one of these historical trips, always return saying they’re very glad they did.
