The Residence occupies a stunning position on the northeast coast of Mauritius, set back from a private kilometre-long stretch of powdery white sand.

Hand-chosen oriental antiques, exotic woods, wrought iron and beige tones lend a charming old-world atmosphere to the 135 rooms and 28 suites, each of which comes with its own butler. The award-winning Sanctuary spa has been described as a ‘temple to relaxation’, with 600 square metres of Zen-inspired space in which to unwind and recharge.
