The Residence, Mauritius

The Residence is considered to be one of the jewels of the international hotel scene, beautifully combining modernity and tradition. It is situated on a mile-long beach of immaculate white sand, fringed by tropical gardens. The décor is refined and inspired by the turn-of-the-century colonial plantation houses, complemented with an impressive butler service, echoing a bygone era.

The decoration of the oversized rooms and suites is a blend of sobriety and elegance; wooden shutters and muted white, beige, mushroom, honey coloured wood, wrought iron and sandy coloured tiles lend a sophisticated and nostalgic ambience.
