Escape from Normality, is the slogan of the Hotel Residence, one of the finest resorts on the east
coast of Mauritius. This is the spot, where the splendour and radiance of the past century come alive
enrapturing visitors. Here they experience generous architecture, stately rooms and suites, an
exquisite cuisine, an expansive pool-landscape and splendid gardens which reflect the Colonial
lifestyle. The view from the hotel extends across one of the island's most beautiful white beaches
with powdery sand to the Indian Ocean's kaleidoscope of colours. The atmosphere is reminiscent of
the 1920s and it is easy to forget the stress of everyday routine amidst the mixture of traditional
and modern style.
Accommodation/Amenities:
The hotel has 135 elegant rooms and 28 suites with private terrace or balcony. The inner rooms, ranging
from the Garden View Room (54 square metre) over Ocean View and Ocean Front to the two Royal Suites
(220 square metre) are of natural materials and elegantly designed. Mostly natural stone, rattan
and tropical wood were used.
The cuisine is inspired by Mauritius' multicultural influences. Apart from classical grilled dishes
with an emphasis on fish, guest are also served meals with Chinese, Creole and Indian influences.
Honeymooners can let themselves be spoilt from morning to evening in the bar, a 500 square metre
lounge with upholstered suites and a large circular counter.
