Outrigger Enterprises Group's Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa welcomed its first guests today, becoming the company's 45th running property across eight countries.
The five-star beachfront resort boasts sea views in all of its 181 deluxe rooms, and it is the first property for Outrigger in the Indian Ocean.
"The expansion of the Outrigger brand into the Indian Ocean is the latest development showing the strategic commitment of Outrigger to open stunning resorts in desirable and iconic warm water beachfront locations around the world," said Darren Edmonstone, managing director, Asia-Pacific, Outrigger Hotels and Resorts.
The Republic of Mauritius island nation-sitting about 2,000 kilometers off the southeast coast of Africa-is a tropical destination in itself. Then, you realize the Outrigger Mauritius resort is on the tip of the island …surrounded by the Bel Ombre nature reserve (a UNESCO World Heritage Site )… next to the Heritage Golf Club…and alongside sweeping sugar cane plantations … and it almost seems too good to be true.
"Ownership of the property in Mauritius gives Outrigger the unique opportunity to share the locally-rich sense of place and discovery that guests look for when they go on holiday," Edmonstone added. "The wonderful warmth, color and exotic mixes that characterize Mauritius can now be experienced at the new Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa."
After Outrigger purchased the property in May 2013 and conducted an extensive refurbishing project, it all appears to be paying off for the company.
"The Outrigger dream for Mauritius has come true," said Frederic Chretien, general manager of the Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa. "From today we are delivering our acclaimed Outrigger hospitality that blends the needs of the most discerning traveller with the charm and tradition of an early 17th-century Mauritian sugar cane plantation on the island's southern coast."
The Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa is a 45-minute drive from the island's international airport (MRU) and a 90-minute drive from the capital, Port Louis.
Outrigger will celebrate at the official grand opening ceremony on April 18.
