Heritage Resorts & Golf BEL OMBRE, MAURITIUS


Tucked in Mauritius’s wild south, where mountains soften into sugarcane fields and forests slip into the sea, this former sugar plantation remains one of the island’s best-kept secrets. The light shifts, time seems to slow and every detail seems more considered. At its heart lies Heritage Resorts & Golf, a vast 6,100-acre domaine that offers two distinct stays: Heritage Le Telfair, an all-suite retreat with refined plantation style charm, and Heritage Awali, its warmer, all- inclusive counterpart infused with African- inspired charm. Both hotels open onto the same preserved lagoon and coastline, share access to two spas, 13 restaurants and a lifestyle anchored in nature and local culture. Signature Experiences form the soul of a


romantic stay here, echoing the resorts’ brand promise to inspire meaningful moments. One evening may begin with Champagne at golden hour on the first tee of La Réserve Golf Links, the Indian Ocean’s first and only contemporary links course. Another might end beside a private pool at Ulundi Villa, after a twilight massage and open-air


dinner for two. Guests can savour a wine-paired menu in the Savana cellar or enjoy the simplicity of a candlelit meal on the beach. These are moments built on privacy and quiet joy. Beyond the resorts, the region invites exploration.


Couples can kayak through the mangroves, cycle quiet trails or explore the Bel Ombre Nature Reserve with expert guides. Wild deer, fruit bats and tropical birds cross paths with travellers here, just as they have for centuries. In the nearby village, fishermen mend nets by hand while children play along the shore. At Le Château de Bel Ombre, a 19th-century manor house shaded by ancient trees, island cuisine takes on a refined new form, best enjoyed slowly as the sun begins to set. For those drawn to the fairway, Heritage Golf


Club presents two Championship courses of global standing. La Réserve Golf Links, co-designed by Peter Matkovich and Louis Oosthuizen, is raw, poetic and theatrical. Its hilltop clubhouse hosts one of the resort’s most sought-after dinners — a table for two overlooking the rugged coastline, with the wind and sky as the only other guests.
