Sofitel So Mauritius: the newcomer

In a island where we thought nothing new was possible, Sofitel just inaugurated a 34 acres lush oasis. A place that highlights a new way of thinking in the hotel industry, a will of designing human scale projects in harmony with the environment.
The Garden of Eden

Lush vegetation, a turquoise lagoon, a quietly flowing stream, this Mauritius hotel on the wild south coast of the island brings you to one of nature's finest settings, on a wide open beach but surrounded by nature. Designed in total harmony with its incredible surroundings, the Sofitel So Mauritius Bel Ombre is the result of the collaboration between Thai architect Lek Bunnag and fashion designer Kenzo Takada. The outcome is a soothing, elegant and naturally sophisticated hotel with only 94 rooms. The guests have the choice between one of the 86 suites with private garden and patio, one of the six private villas with breathtaking sea view and turquoise plunge pool, or for the ultimate luxury, one of the two Beaulieu Villas. These absolutely marvelous places add service to design and come with a personal butler service to satisfy your every whim, a captivating mix of fine French living and acclaimed Mauritian service. Not to forget the exclusive So Spa and its range of delightful treatments based on fruits and spices harvested in Mauritius. On the culinary site the hotel features two hotel restaurants with a tasteful variety on the menu. Facing the lagoon, La Plage is a laid-back beach restaurant serving a selection of Mauritian inspired specialities. For a more sophisticated supper, The Flamboyant is the perfect choice. A contemporary restaurant, overlooking the pool, serving Mauritian inspired cuisine where the richness of local produce meets French know-how. A hotel where every aspect is carefully thought through for an unforgettable stay on the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.
