A new experience awaits guests at Bel Ombre. The 4-star
Tamassa stands at the end of a long avenue of mature coconut
palms. A picture postcard landscape of sugarcane fields to
the mountains beyond.
The south-west of Mauritius is the most unspoilt part, with
spectacular walks and drives through lush, tropical
hillsides and a range of open-air activities in beautiful
countryside. In front of the hotel, beyond the sandy beach,
lies a turquoise lagoon that almost blends into the skyline.
The sea air is invigorating and the ripples of the waves
gently calming. Beyond, lie thousands of miles of open sea.
The traditional style architecture ideally suits the
tropical setting, with beautifully landscaped gardens. The
buildings seem at one with the environment. The décor is
breathtakingly contemporary, with clean lines and bold use
of colour. The atmosphere is one of eternal youth, friendly,
cheerful and enthusiastic.
SPA
A tropical holiday is not complete without the luxury of
a massage or beauty treatment. The spa, in its exotic
setting, adds to that feeling of complete relaxation and
well-being.
The spa has 16 treatment rooms (14 double), a 12m long
pool, a whirlpool, a sauna, a hammam, two changing
rooms, 6 large relaxation beds, a hydro therapy room, a
spa boutique, a hair dresser and a beauty salon for
manicure and pedicure.
The 14 double treatment rooms all have a private garden
outside, so guests can enjoy the idyllic surroundings.
ACTIVITIES
There are days when it is difficult to decide whether to
laze by the 3 swimming pools or lounge on the beach. The
Tamassa’s pools are so inviting that activity can almost
seem a challenge. But there is plenty to do to keep days
varied and entertaining.
Water Sports Free of charge: windsurfing, aqua gym, pedal
boats, kayaks, sailing, snorkelling, glass-bottom-boat
rides and water-skiing. For a fee: speedboat rides, diving (PADI) and
deep-sea fishing, for which Mauritius is famous.
Land-based Activities Free of charge: gym, beach volley, stretching
classes, table tennis, petanque and floodlit tennis
courts. For a fee: mountain bikes, billiards and game
machines.
Next to the hotel is an excellent 18-hole championship
golf course.
Night-Club
For youngsters, and the not-so-young too, Tamassa has
its own lively Disco.
Kids Club
A circular building houses the Kids Club, which is next
to the tennis courts. It has a large amphitheatre-shaped
space, a dining room on the terrace, 2 internet-access
screens, a sandpit and a rest room. The Club is
air-conditioned and is for children between 3 and 12.
They are looked after by qualified staff who organise
activities from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day. A baby
sitting service is available on request for a fee.
Teens Club
The Teens club, for older youngsters, has games
machines, a billiard table and table football, as well
as organised activities.
ROOMS
Standard Rooms (43m˛)
The décor is strikingly attractive, with pure,
simple lines contrasting with bright green touches
on the bedspreads, and an inspired image of a bird
of paradise on the wall above the headboard. With
the terrace door wide open, the colours in the Room
seem to blend with the trees and plants outside.
Each Standard Room has either a queen-size bed or
twin beds. The bed cover, specially designed for the
hotel, gives an immediate feeling of intimacy. A
sliding, wooden door opens up to reveal a spacious
bathroom, bathed in natural light. As well as a
corner bath, there is a separate shower cubicle
edged in sintered-glass tiling, 2 washbowls on
stands and wardrobe space. The toilet is behind a
separate door. The use of solid wood for all the
doors and many of the fittings, gives a warm, rich
feel to both rooms.
Superior Rooms (46m˛)
Warm, sunny colours envelop the room. The décor is
attractively uncluttered, with clean, contemporary
lines offset here by touches of red orange. An image
of a huge, orchid stands above the wooden headboard
and the touches of orange in the curtains and the
uniquely designed bedcover are intoxicating. The
bathroom has a bath, two glass washbasins, a
separate shower edged with decorated sintered-glass
tiling, and a wardrobe. The toilet is behind a
separate door. The overall effect is invigorating,
the kind of room that makes guests want to linger
for a few weeks more.
Deluxe Rooms (49m˛)
The orchid feature again predominates above the
headboard of the queen-size bed, but this time
shades of fuchsia are featured throughout to
dramatic effect. Kiatt, a wood from North Africa, is
used throughout all the rooms. The clean,
contemporary lines of the basic décor, offset here
by the warmth of natural wood and the touches of
fuchsia colour, have a simply stunning impact.
The bathroom has a bright, luxurious feel to it,
with two white porcelain hand basins set on a taup
golden marble stand and sintered-glass Bizassa
tiling from Italy in the shower. The spacious bath,
set in its own alcove, has marble surrounds.
