Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa to Soft Open 15 January 2014

Outrigger Hotels and Resorts has confirmed that it will soft open the Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa on 15 January 2014.

Outrigger purchased the 181-key beachfront resort in May 2013 and an extensive refurbishment is nearing completion.

All 181 suites and rooms have a sea view, with a number having direct access to the white sand beach and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Entry-level rooms are a generous 63 square metres.

"I believe the new Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa at Bel Ombre will quickly establish itself as an iconic and very innovative resort in Mauritius," said General Manager, Frederic Chretien.

As of 15 January, a variety of services and features will open, including the majority of guest rooms, the relaxed beachfront Edgewater restaurant, the trendy Bar Bleu, and most other public spaces.

"Our suites, rooms and food and beverage options are unique for Mauritius," said Chretien. "I believe the opening of the Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa will herald an exciting new era of hospitality in the Mauritius tourism scene."

The Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa sits on the southern tip of the Republic of Mauritius located 2,000 kms off the southeast coast of Africa and 1,100 kms from the east coast of Madagascar.

Getting there is easy. Direct flights connect the island of Mauritius with Perth, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Paris, London, Dubai, Johannesburg and numerous cities in Africa.

The new Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa is a 45-minute drive from the international airport (MRU) and a similar distance from the capital of Port Louis. The resort is surrounded on three sides by the nature reserve of Bel Ombre.

To celebrate the soft opening, the Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa is offering special opening rates in various room categories such as the Deluxe and Family Rooms.

The special rates start from EUR149 (US$202) for a Deluxe Sea View inclusive of breakfast for two. The rates are available for stays between 15 January and 15 February 2014. Terms and conditions apply.
