Mauritius with Constance Hotels and Resorts

My journey began with a 12 hour non stop flight from Heathrow with Air Mauritius in Business Class. Champagne and a comfortable seat made a great start to the trip! There is only a 3 hour time difference so no need to worry about jet lag!

We were met on arrival by ground handler Connections who provided us with a chilled bottle of water before we boarded our air conditioned mini van for the transfer to our first hotel the Constance Belle Mare Plage. This 5 star hotel has a choice of 7 restaurants and several bars along with two 18 hole championship golf courses, a luxury spa, kids club, bike hire, gym , various water sports, there is something for everyone.

And not forgetting the beautiful white sand beach. The rooms here are very spacious, I even had a walk in wardrobe. The Deer Hunter, Blue Penny Cellar and La Spiaggia were my favourite restaurants, it was great to have such a varied choice. This hotel is suitable for couples, families and larger groups and is set in extensive grounds. You can even call a golf buggy if you don’t fancy the walk!

After 3 nights at Constance Belle Mare Plage we transferred to Constance Le Prince Maurice. Wow! This is a romantic hideaway with stunning architectural design in a luxurious setting. A member of ‘Leading Hotels of the World’ this luxury hotel ticks all the boxes. It is small and intimate and offers fine dining and top wines to match, boasting the largest wine cellar in the Indian Ocean.

The service and attention to detail is evident every day from the beach staff cleaning your sunglasses and phone screen, the waiters in the restaurant providing pashminas if the evening breeze was a little cool and the wet swimsuit bag that was left in my room on the last day meaning we could enjoy the stunning beach until just before our departure. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and very private. I didn't want to leave!

Mauritius isn’t all about incredible food, wine and beautiful hotels. There are a number of excursions including the Botanic Gardens, Port Louis and a Mauritian Creole restaurant. My favourite was the ‘One Love’ speedboat trip which took us snorkelling and for a bbq lunch on a private island and then to see some beautiful waterfalls and monkeys!

Thank you Constance Hotels and Resorts for inviting me to experience these two fantastic hotels. If you would like to know more please get in touch.
