At a glance
Heritage Le Telfair is the most considered luxury resort on Mauritius’s southern coast.
Named after Charles Telfair, the Northern Irish botanist who once called this land home, the resort draws its identity from the elegance of the island’s plantation era. The colonial architecture, the lush grounds of Bel Ombre and a backdrop rich in history and nature give it a character that the busier resort hotels of the north and west cannot replicate.
The offering is built around three things done exceptionally well. An acclaimed golf course set against one of the most naturally beautiful stretches of coastline on the island. A spa with six treatment rooms, outdoor suites, a honeymoon suite, vitality pool and wellness sanctuary.
And a dining program that spans relaxed beachside lunches at Le Palmier to some of the most refined cooking in Mauritius at Le Château de Bel Ombre.

Further information
Dining
Heritage Le Telfair organises its dining across several distinct venues, from relaxed beachside lunches at Le Palmier facing the Indian Ocean to the refined colonial setting of Le Château de Bel Ombre, which offers some of the most considered cooking on the southern coast. The kitchen draws on fresh local seafood and the produce of the surrounding region throughout.
Golf
Heritage Le Telfair is built around one of Mauritius’s most acclaimed golf courses, set against the lush natural landscape of Bel Ombre on the southern coast. A second course, La Réserve Golf Links, sits within the same estate, giving serious golfers two distinct and equally considered options without leaving the grounds.
Wellness
The spa is one of the most complete on the island, with six treatment rooms, two outdoor suites, a dedicated honeymoon suite, a vitality pool, two hammams, two saunas and a full wellness sanctuary. The Wellness Bliss package draws on five pillars including nature, nutrition, meditation and essential oil treatments, making it as much a structured retreat as a hotel spa.

We work with some incredible resorts, all of which offer a uniquely luxurious experience.
Our Experts
Mauritius always feels like next-level luxury, a cut above the rest. It's quieter than some of the other island destinations so has a heightened sense of secluded relaxation.
I've only ever heard wonderful things from clients who have been fortunate enough to visit Mauritius. There are so many fantastic resorts, plus it's the land of the Dodo.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Seychelles & Mauritius: Two Pearls of the Indian Ocean
Tailor-made VacationAsk most travelers to choose between the Seychelles and Mauritius, and they will hesitate. This itinerary is built to explore the best parts of both. The Seychelles and Mauritius are frequently held up against each other in comparisons of the Indian Ocean's finest destinations, yet surprisingly few itineraries actually combine them.
11 days tailor-made from $13,455 per person View trip
Mauritius Island Escape
Tailor-made VacationThis itinerary is built entirely around one island, with time to escape, explore, and immerse yourself in life on Mauritius. Where several of our Mauritius itineraries pair the island with a South African safari, this one stays put, giving guests nine full days to explore a single destination properly rather than fitting it around a longer, more demanding journey.
9 days tailor-made from $9,850 per person View trip
Mauritius Wellness & Spa Retreat
Tailor-made VacationSome travelers come to Mauritius to see the island. This retreat is for those who come to feel it, one slow, salt-scented day at a time. This itinerary is designed for travelers who want Mauritius stripped back to its most restorative elements: warm water, quiet mornings, and treatments that leave more time unaccounted for than planned.
