Getting from the airport to the resort was a breeze, thanks to the experienced sales team at Golfbreaks who organised transfers with Mautourco. This seamless journey set a relaxed tone, allowing us to start our holiday stress-free. It was the perfect way to kick off an unforgettable getaway.

Heritage Le Telfair is set along the tranquil Bel Ombre region, a place known for its untouched natural beauty. The refined accommodation is spread across both stunning tropical gardens and the seafront. Many of these spacious suites and villas open out to views of the turquoise sea, lush gardens, or the rolling golf course.

Each accommodation is exquisitely decorated with French windows, expansive terraces, and modern amenities. The resort also offers a personal butler service to cater to every couple's needs, ensuring every moment of your stay feels special.

On arrival, we were warmly welcomed with a refreshing drink at check-in, setting a relaxed tone for our stay.

Golfing bliss

Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort boasts two of the best golf courses in Mauritius. The original 18-hole course, La Chateau, is set in the heart of the resort, offering a classic golf experience amid lush surroundings. The latest addition, La Reserve Golf Links, elevates the experience further as the first links-style course in the Indian Ocean, promising an unmatched challenge and scenic beauty.

La Chateau

For avid golfers, La Chateau course is a highlight of the stay. This award-winning 18-hole championship course is regarded as one of the finest in the Indian Ocean and Africa. Designed by renowned golf course architect Peter Matkovich, the course seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings, offering golfers a spectacular setting to play in.

The course itself is challenging yet accessible, with varying terrain and holes that take you through forested hills, lush plains, and even scenic ocean views. For couples seeking a bit of variety, there’s also a 9-hole short course, perfect for a relaxed afternoon of fun or to improve your short game skills.

La Reserve Golf Links is another must-play, offering golfers a unique experience on Mauritius’s first and only links-style course. Crafted by acclaimed golf course architects, Louis Oosthuizen and Peter Matkovich, the course was designed to highlight the island's raw natural beauty, with rolling fairways, sandy dunes, and panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.

Additionally, players have access to top-notch practice facilities, including a comprehensive driving range, putting greens, and expert coaching at the Golf Academy. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned player, La Reserve Golf Links offers an extraordinary golfing experience tailored for enthusiasts and casual players alike.

A balance of relaxation and adventure

Heritage Le Telfair is more than just a scenic getaway; it's a sanctuary for wellness and adventure. The resort’s Seven Colours Spa offers a range of treatments inspired by Mauritian heritage and holistic therapies. I enjoyed a rejuvenating massage at the Wellness Pavilion - a beautifully serene experience that left me completely relaxed.

The resort offers much more than the spa, here are some highlights:

  • Wellness and Fitness: Along with spa treatments, we made use of the gym and participated in complimentary classes like Pilates, yoga, and tai chi. The variety was fantastic, balancing both fitness and relaxation.
  • Pools and Lounging: With two beautiful pools, each offering views over the beachfront, we had our choice of lounging by the pool or at the beach, which kept each day feeling fresh and flexible.
  • Adventure Options: For a dose of excitement, we took advantage of the outdoor activities, from sunset catamaran cruises to snorkelling and nature walks in the nearby Domaine de Bel Ombre reserve.

Our time here struck a perfect balance between relaxation and adventure, giving us unforgettable memories, from tranquil massages to thrilling excursions.

Romantic dining experiences

No romantic getaway is complete without exquisite dining, and Heritage Le Telfair offers a remarkable variety. With eight restaurants to choose from, each with a unique ambiance and cuisine, we were spoiled for choice. We opted for the Gourmet Bliss all-inclusive package, and loved not having to think about the cost when we were there.

Dining highlights during our stay:

  • Gin’ja: Our favourite spot, combining Asian-inspired flavours with a stunning beachside view.
  • Le Château de Bel Ombre: A must-visit 19th-century mansion offering an elegant dining experience, easily accessible by a quick shuttle ride.
  • Cavendish Bar: Perfect for pre-dinner drinks and nightcaps, adding a cozy end to our evenings.
  • Sundowners at Gin’ja: Watching the sunset here was an unforgettable ritual, creating a magical close to each day.

Dining at Heritage Le Telfair was truly a memorable part of our trip, filled with beautiful sunsets, exquisite meals, and moments that felt timeless.
