If you’ve chosen a hotel in Mauritius hoping to relax for days on end on a powder-soft beach, you’re in the right place.

Whether you’re a couple, friends or on holidays in Mauritius with children, you’ll find an experience designed to turn your trip into an unforgettable memory.

Heritage Le Telfair makes sure that activities suitable for all ages are accessible, for every family member to fully enjoy their holidays in Mauritius, whether they seek relaxation, adventure or shared moments.
Beauty beyond compare between land and sea
Set across 2,500 hectares of dramatic scenery, Heritage Bel Ombre stands on a string of verdant hills and an azure lagoon. Outdoorsy travelers will make the most of this breathtaking location, offering the perfect mix of restful and energetic activities. Every Tuesday, hop aboard our speedboat for a champagne toast and canapés served out on the lagoon, as the Mauritian sunset unfolds in a dazzling display. On Fridays, the Bel Ombre Nature Reserve – just minutes from the hotel – welcomes you for a wellbeing hike that ends atop a ridge so you can savour the last glowing rays. Choosing your stay in Mauritius in such an exceptional setting gives you the luxury of total immersion between sea and mountain.
A unique golfing experience in Mauritius
Golf at Heritage Bel Ombre holds a special place and is an experience that should not be missed. Set on grassy land that gently slopes toward the sea, the course offers a striking spectacle where nature is ever present. Fairways lined with tropical trees contrast with the marine horizon, creating a unique backdrop that appeals equally to avid players and those seeking a leisurely experience. Between sporting performance and communion with the landscape, each round becomes a true escape. Choosing a hotel in Mauritius such as Heritage Le Telfair means enjoying your swing with the sea as a companion, in a preserved environment that enhances your holidays in Mauritius.
A journey into Mauritian culture
Attention, culture lovers: we’ve got you covered! Explore your creativity during an art therapy session led on Mondays by a local Mauritian artist. After a convivial cocktail at the Cavendish Bar and an artist demonstration, you’ll get to view and learn about their work. What better way to support local talent and take home a unique souvenir? On Thursdays, get active with the Mauritian start-up Explore Nou Zil and discover the wild south on an e-bike tour. This playful, informative ride takes you to the region’s highlights: the traditional village of Souillac, the spectacular “Roche qui pleure”, the Savanne River and Gris-Gris. The colourful, folklore-rich names of these places are matched only by their charm. Let the authenticity of these places enrich your stay, as each activity opens a window onto the island’s history and soul.
Local flavours and culinary delights of Mauritius
Food lovers are well catered for, with three tasty and engaging experiences. Each Wednesday, join the Cavendish Bar for a happy hour celebrating the island’s signature cocktail: a tropical, spiced rum arrangé. Festive foodie moments continue through the weekend. On Saturdays, discover the estate’s exceptional wine cellars at Annabella’s or within the historic setting of Le Château de Bel Ombre, where each vintage wine is paired with delicious cheeses in tribute to the French tradition. On Sundays, put your culinary skills to the test: our chefs welcome you into Annabella’s kitchen for a relaxed, collaborative cooking class. Pay attention: what you prepare will be served to you at lunch!
Mauritian literary treasures at your fingertips
A stay in Mauritius more than just beaches and lagoons; it’s also an invitation to encounter the island’s soul through its writers. Mauritian literature, rich and abundant, mirrors the island’s blended history, colonial past and diverse communities. Whether you’re lounging on a deckchair facing the sea or relaxing in your hotel’s tropical gardens, a Mauritian novel is the perfect companion to extend your holidays in Mauritius into the imagination. Authors such as Shenaz Patel, Carl de Souza, and Prix Femina winner Nathacha Appanah offer narratives full of poetry, history and contemporary insight that immerse you in local culture beyond the scenery.
