Click on image to enlarge
Heritage Le Telfair Golf and Spa Resort has been created on the site
of one of Mauritius' best kept and most jealously guarded secrets, the former
sugar estate of Bel Ombre. Set on 15 hectares, the Resort nestles breathtakingly
between the dreamy turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and the lush Plaine
Champagne hills. The Resort has a residential charm all of its own, capturing
the colonial spirit of Mauritius with its plantation architecture, expansive
manicured tropical gardens as well as the gentle waters of the Citronniers
River. Unequalled in Mauritius, nature is at the heart of this resort from the
pristine reef-enclosed lagoon and beach, the adjacent nature reserve of Valriche
which extends over 1500 hectares as well as the 18-hole Championship golf course
and 9-hole short course.
Heritage Le Telfair Golf and Spa Resort has been a member of the Small
Luxury Hotels of the World since September 2008.
