Overview

 
An elegant colonial-style hotel on the long white beach of Belle Mare, on the east coast of Mauritius. The Residence Mauritius is known for its gracious service, airy plantation-house architecture, a lovely spa and refined dining by the sea – a timeless choice for couples, honeymooners and families who want five-star calm.

White colonial verandas, tall palms and one of the island’s best beaches: The Residence feels like a grand plantation home by the sea. The Residence Mauritius sits on Belle Mare, one of the longest and most beautiful beaches on the island, with a calm lagoon protected by the reef. The east coast is breezy in the hottest months, and Île aux Cerfs, golf courses and the island’s interior are all within easy reach. See more Mauritius holidays.

Map & location


Belle Mare, east coast of Mauritius

Belle Mare is on the east coast, a stretch of fine white sand and turquoise lagoon that is among the best beaches in Mauritius. The coast here catches a gentle trade-wind breeze, which keeps it comfortable in the warmest months.

Boats leave for Île aux Cerfs from Trou d’Eau Douce, a short drive south, and several championship golf courses are close by. Inland, you can explore sugar estates, the Grand Bassin lake and the island’s forests.

  • Trou d’Eau Douce (boats to Île aux Cerfs) about 5km

  • Pamplemousses botanical garden about 23km
  • Port Louis about 29km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport about 45–55 minutes from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International (MRU).
