Outrigger prepares a Festive Season Special in Mauritius

BEL OMBRE, MAURITIUS — The Outrigger Mauritius Beach Resort has announced a special seasonal selection of dining, dancing and delectable drinks for Christmas and New Year. There’ll be a lot of sensational tastes, sega dancing, jazz, chill out music and activities for the children along the way.

The stylish beachfront property on the south coast of Mauritius offers something new, delicious and exotic each day from 21 December to 10 January, with Russian Christmas festivities on 7 January part of the special events.

Highlights from the extensive program (here) include interactive dining experiences that celebrate Christmas tastes from around the world, the seasonal best of Mauritian cuisine at the Plantation Club, seafood extravaganzas (particularly lobster), dancing, a laser show, fireworks at the right moments, and an extensive list of supervised activities for kids.

Santa will be on the beach on Christmas Day. British Christmas flavours abound on the 23rd. For over two weeks there will be delectable champagne breakfasts, hot jazz bands, hip DJs and exotic sega dancing. There’ll be mellow chill out sounds by the pool for the go-slow bits in between.

Events will be spread around the beautifully landscaped resort from the colonial style Plantation Club and the interactive kitchens of Mercado to the fun, beach side informal moments at Willie’s Rum and Crab Shack, Bar Bleu and Edgewater.

Throughout the festive period, Outrigger’s Coral Kids Club will entertain the children with fitness classes, face painting, musical games, tennis starter classes, henna tattoo sessions, limbo fiestas, movie nights at the outdoor cinema, and more.

“There’ll be nowhere quite like the Outrigger in Mauritius this Christmas and New Year,” said General Manager, Pieter van der Hoeven. “We’re providing a one-stop seasonal sensation by the beach for our international guests and discerning local visitors,” he said.

The Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa will soft open on 15 January 2014, with the deluxe beachfront hotel now open for booking via its new website www.outriggermauritius.com.

Outrigger Hotels and Resorts 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.
