Golf Meets Art de Vivre

The Heritage Resorts Lifestyle Experience

At the finest luxury golf resort in Mauritius, golf is only part of the offering. Heritage Resorts & Golf offers two five-star hotels, each with their own holistic spas, celebrated restaurants and kids’ club, alongside 45 holes of championship golf, creating a destination that rewards every member of the travelling party, from first tee to last sunset.
In this guide, we explore the lifestyle experiences that make Heritage Resorts & Golf a World Top 25 Golf Resort, and why more guests are choosing to stay longer, explore deeper – beyond the golf – and return year after year.

There is a particular kind of holiday that Heritage Resorts & Golf does better than anywhere else in the Indian Ocean. It is the kind where golfers tee off on the Indian Ocean’s No. 1-ranked course in the morning, time drifts by at the spas drawing on the island’s ancient wellness traditions, children are occupied and delighted by a dedicated kids’ club, and by evening everyone is gathered around a table for dinner at one of the estate’s celebrated restaurants. An unhurried day, together and entirely at ease.

This is Heritage Art de Vivre: a philosophy of gracious, laid-back living that runs through every corner of the resort. It is the reason why This World Top 25 Golf Resort is recognised not just as the leading golf venue in Mauritius, but as one of the island’s most complete luxury destinations.

Two Five-Star Hotels, One Estate

The Heritage estate at Bel Ombre is anchored by two distinct five-star beach resorts, each positioned among the world’s finest hotels in their respective categories.

Heritage Le Telfair

Refined, elegant and deeply charming, Heritage Le Telfair is inspired by the gracious plantation houses of Mauritius’ colonial past. Attentive service, impeccable cuisine, and beautifully appointed suites make this the natural choice for couples and discerning travellers seeking a premium Mauritius luxury resort experience. Le Telfair’s access to both La Réserve Golf Links and Le Château Golf Course, with preferred tee times for resident guests, makes it equally compelling for the serious golfer.

Heritage Awali

The resort’s all-inclusive offering, Heritage Awali, is the estate’s family-first resort – welcoming, contemporary and designed to give every member of a travelling party exactly what they need. Its newly renovated spa, dedicated kids’ club and direct connection to the golf estate make it the ideal base for multi-generational, mixed-interest parties. For golfers seeking the ease of an all-inclusive spa resort without any compromise on course access or quality, Awali delivers both.

Heritage The Villas

For those who prefer the privacy and space of a standalone residence, Heritage The Villas offers a curated selection of privately managed luxury properties on the estate. With direct access to both courses and all resort facilities, the villas are the preferred choice for extended stays, larger groups and guests for whom space and seclusion are as important as the golf.

Spa & Wellness: Holistic Programmes in a Biosphere Reserve

Heritage’s Spa & Wellness offering is among the most distinctive in the Indian Ocean, rooted in the natural landscape and cultural heritage of Mauritius. Programmes are holistic and intentional, designed around genuine transformation.

Mauritian massage

Drawing on the island’s rich multicultural heritage (Indian, African, Chinese and European), the Seven Colours massage is one of Heritage’s most celebrated treatments. A full-body ritual that blends therapeutic traditions from across the cultures that have shaped Mauritian life. It is an experience unique to the island and unique to Heritage.

Forest bathing

Set within the Bel Ombre Nature Reserve, Heritage’s forest bathing programme invites guests into the ancient practice of shinrin-yoku – a meditative immersion in the natural environment proven to reduce cortisol levels, lower blood pressure and restore mental clarity. For golfers arriving mid-season or between competitive rounds, it offers a particularly effective form of active recovery.

The golf and spa resort combination at Heritage is not incidental. The two experiences are designed to complement each other: the physical intensity of 18 holes at La Réserve Golf Links answered by the restorative calm of a spa afternoon, and the active demands of a Mauritius golf holiday balanced by genuine rest.

Gastronomy: Dining Across the Estate

Heritage Resorts & Golf’s approach to food is as considered as its approach to golf. Across both hotels and the estate’s standalone venues, culinary experiences range from beachside Mauritian street food and spiced seafood to refined multi-course dinners drawing on French, Asian and Mediterranean traditions.

The estate’s gastronomy options are among the best restaurants in Mauritius, consistently praised for produce quality, kitchen craft and the kind of setting that makes a meal feel like an occasion. The resort’s pan-asian offering at Gin’ja is a guest favourite, while Le Château de Bel Ombre offers a fine dining experience that will leave a very impressionable memory. Guests staying across multiple nights are encouraged to move between venues, treating the estate as a golf and dining circuit as much as a golf holiday.

For golfers, the clubhouse at La Réserve Golf Links offers a natural endpoint to a morning round: panoramic views of the Matkovich-Oostuizen masterpiece, a menu calibrated to the appetite of someone who has just navigated 200 metres of elevation change, and a terrace from which the entirety of the Indian Ocean’s No.1 Course unfolds in front of you.

The Bel Ombre Nature Reserve: Beyond the Course

The 45-hole estate at Heritage Resorts & Golf sits within the broader landscape of the Bel Ombre Nature Reserve: one of Mauritius’ most significant protected natural environments and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. For guests who want to extend their experience beyond the golf course and the spa, the reserve offers quad biking, horse riding, 4×4 safari excursions and guided nature walks through protected landscapes that have remained largely unchanged for centuries.

It is this breadth of natural experiences that makes a Heritage Resorts & Golf stay so resistant to the usual logic of diminishing returns. There is simply more to do here than most guests can cover in a single trip, which is precisely why so many return.

Family at Heritage: The Kids’ Club & Beyond

Heritage Resorts & Golf is the rare Mauritius luxury resort that genuinely serves the interests of families travelling with children, not by compromising the adult experience, but by providing an equivalent one for younger guests. The dedicated Timono Kids Club offers structured, age-appropriate activities throughout the day. From nature trails and creative workshops to supervised beach time and water sports, parents can enjoy the courses, the spas, or indeed some quiet time, without distraction or compromise.

The result is a resort where a golf-focused parent and a non-golfing partner with children in tow can each have an exceptional day, and reconvene for dinner as a family at one of the estate’s most celebrated tables.

Plan Your Heritage Golf & Lifestyle Escape

Whether you are planning a dedicated Mauritius golf holiday, a spa and wellness retreat, a family stay on the southern coast, or all three at once, Heritage Resorts & Golf has the depth to accommodate every ambition within a single, self-contained estate.

Stay at Heritage Le Telfair or Heritage Awali, or book a villa on the estate, and everything you need is within reach: 45 holes of championship golf, one of the Indian Ocean’s finest spa and wellness offerings, celebrated dining, and a natural landscape that sets the scene for all of it.
