RODRIGUES - MAURITIUS

Rodrigues, a delightful, remote little holiday island 650 km east of Mauritius is the perfect getaway for those not wanting the glitz and glamour of city life. Measuring only 18 km in length and 8 km at its widest point, Rodrigues is entirely surrounded by coral reefs offering world-class diving and snorkelling. Conjure up images of Mauritius 100 years ago and you have Rodrigues where you see people walking their pet pigs! Life is slow on this rural island but this only adds to the ambience of this charming place.

Nestled in a picturesque sandy cove in St. Francois, surrounded by the ever present "Filao" trees and overlooking the Anse Ally lagoon, lies the 43 acre property to be developed into a luxury 5-star resort. Distinguished by masterly architecture and exemplary interior design, this luxurious beach resort comprises of 45 scattered one and two bedroom, ocean facing chalets, some with own heated pools. Each large and spacious chalet has an extended wooden deck stretching out over the sand overlooking the sea, where one can relax and get lost in one’s own world.

Savour the culinary delights of Rodrigues drawn from only the freshest of ingredients, at our open-air restaurant right by the seashore, with a show kitchen and a traditional wood-fired pizza oven. This exotic beach restaurant serves gourmet breakfasts and an a la carte lunch menu. For dinner, enjoy a very special buffet made up of international favourites and the freshest catch from the Indian Ocean for which Rodrigues is famous.

Experience tranquillity and rejuvenation in our Spa, as our professionally trained staff enhances your journey to self discovery. Featuring 5 single and 2 couple massage rooms, in addition to a steam room, a sauna, a whirlpool bath and a cold plunge, this peacefully secluded spa is something most of us just fantasized about - until now!

Also featured in the resort are a tennis court, bicycle tours of the island and lots of sea sports, like snorkelling, scuba diving, windsurfing, canoeing and especially kite surfing for which Rodrigues is one of the leading destinations! And for those who want to escape the trials and tribulations of daily life, the Mind and Body Studio will offer yoga and meditation classes throughout your stay.

Construction on the resort is expected to start towards the end of 2009 and be completed by Autumn of 2011. Now that the expansion of the airport has been approved, direct flights to and from Rodrigues will help shorten travel time to a minimum.
