Heritage Golf & Spa Resort

A unique place where time stands still to appreciate a sense of escapism and feel nature's beauty and harmony.

Designed as a magical hideaway where time stands still, Heritage Golf & Spa Resort invites those seeking excellence and comfort on an enchanting journey revealing memories of a rich past and African elegance and lifestyle.

Brought together in a lush and tropical site this new deluxe hotel reveals classical charm and contemporary chic on the unspoilt South Coast of Mauritius.

Situated on the magnificent Bel Ombre Estate, a former sugar plantation covering 10 400 hectares edged by translucent blue lagoons, The Heritage Golf & Spa Resort is much more than simply another luxury hotel. It is a place imbued with history – the history and splendour of the sugar barons – set in surroundings of astonishing natural beauty. It is a place where the sweetness of life reigns supreme. It is here where one can rediscover the beauty and abundance which is unique to the “pearl of the Indian ocean”...

Heritage Golf & Spa resort is located on the south coast of the island, in the coastal village of Bel Ombre, 30km from Plaisance International Airport and 45 km from the capital city, Port Louis.

All Rooms, Suites and Villa, are decorated in a refined and resolutely refrained style which radiates an impression of perfect harmony: warm tints, objects fashioned out of woven straw and terracotta, furniture made of deeply coloured woods, great earthenware jars… each room opens onto its own private and comfortable terrace, a stone’s throw from the two swimming pools on the edge of a long beach of dazzling white sand. The bathrooms sport the latest in contemporary design, with their square basins and oval baths framed in black stone.

The 2 guest rooms of the villa can be converted in 2 Junior Honeymoon suites for honeymooners staying at Heritage Golf & Spa Resort. With direct access to the beach, each suite, decorated with contemporary furniture and hints of African decorative ornaments, has a spacious room with an original architectural feature where the bathroom opens directly onto the bed so that you can enjoy the delightful company of your loved one at all times and endlessly contemplate the beautiful view over the horizon.

Mini Club Timomo & friends

Veranda Resorts has developed its own concept of the mini club to look after children from 4 to 12 years old. This concept is based around a character called Timomo, a funny Mauritian bird which looks like a green parrot with a yellow beak. Timomo goes off in search of treasure at the end of the rainbow. This search takes him on a tour of the island where he meets his friends at each of the Veranda Resorts hotels. Everyone helps him in his quest only to discover that he already possesses the most beautiful treasures in the world: generosity and friendship!

Kids club for children from 4 to 12 years old & Teen-Activities for teenagers from 13 to 18 years.

• Open from 10.00a.m. to 11.00p.m • A baby-sitting service is available on request with supplement.

The Seven Colours philosophy

Inspired by ancient oriental philosophies based on the seven centres of energy – the charkas – 7 colour rituals have been supplemented with art to stimulate our inner resources and to rediscover complete harmony between body and spirit.

The Seven Colours rituals, Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red each comprise 4 complementary treatments : the adjustment of energy, massages, treatment of the body and the face… a complete range of massages, such as the Balance massage (Green), gentle and rhythmic to improve blood circulation, or the Harmony massage (Indigo) which caresses the body with vigorous sweeping strokes.

A consultation forms part on one’s first visit, allowing the therapist to define the dominant colour for each client…. their “chromatic personality” and to determine which rituals are appropriate.

Golf Du Chateau - A unique golfing experience A new championship golf course on Mauritius, in the heart of the unspoiled south.

Attached to the Heritage Golf & Spa Resort hotel, the magnificent 18 hole “Golf du Château” golf course which covers 100 hectares, is the masterpiece of architect Peter Matkovitch, of Peter Matkovich and Hayes the world renowned South African architectural practice.

Situated between the mountains and the sea in an undulating landscape interspersed with lakes, streams and tropical trees, the championship course (Par 72) which is both technically challenging and varied, provides golfers with unique possibilities for a game with exceptional moments and memories.

It consists of 2 loops of 9 holes each. The 9 hole outside loop is 3,210m long while the inside loop is 3,297m long: the 3 by 3 vary from 140m to 200m, the 4 by 4 from 320m to 430m, the 4 by 5 from 490m to 520m. In addition, a mashie course has been created, a 9 hole par 3 course, ideal both for beginners as well as for more advanced golfers wanting to perfect their game. It is sited at the heart of the 18 hole course.

The numerous facilities at the “Golf du Château” include a putting green, a chipping green and a driving range. Golfers can enjoy both their game as well as physical exercise and can opt for either a motorised golf buggy or take an enjoyable stroll around the course. Golf carts and caddies are of course provided for the golfers should they require them.

Two qualified professionals are responsible for the operations of the golf course and can offer beginners lessons which can be videoed for extra learning potential. Finally, there is a restaurant as well as a bar, manned by courteous high quality staff to receive the players for a moment of well earned relaxation after a good game.
