HERITAGE AWALI GOLF & SPA RESORT BEL OMBRE

THE HERITAGE AWALI GOLF AND SPA RESORT resides on a beautiful lagoon flanked by the prestigious Golf du Chateau golf course . The African influence is evident at the hotel . After being greeted to the hotel by the resounding beat of the tom tom drum , guests are escorted to their rooms passing by walls painted in warm ochre , deeply coloured woods , African and Madagascan furniture and objects of unusual originality . The 154 deluxe rooms and five suites at the Heritage Awali are decorated to reflect the theme of the hotel . Warm colours , straw-fashioned lamp shades , oiled woods and great earthenware jars form the make-up of the rooms , which in turn fold out onto their own private terrace or balcony . A choice of beachfront , ocean view vistas and partly ocean view allow for all the Heritage Awali rooms to offer a glance across the Indian Ocean . The Balafon restaurant serves excellent breakfasts and dinners . For a more casual dining experience , the Infinity Blue restaurant serves lunch on the beach to those who enjoy burrowing their toes in the sand . For elegant surroundings and Mauritian cuisine , the 19th century Le Chateau de Bel Ombre overlooks a Frenchstyle garden with views to the golf course and ocean .
