My stay at Constance Belle Mare Plage in Mauritius was one that I had eagerly awaited since it’s confirmation. I love the Constance brand, having previously stayed in their Seychelles and Maldives properties, and therefore expectations were high. And I must say, I adored this property! Location The location of this property is really special. […]
Heading over to the north west of Mauritius, The Oberoi sits on a quiet coastline, and has been welcoming guests for years. The brand started off in India, and has a real focus on service and authenticity, and that’s exactly what you get with their property in Mauritius. I stayed here in October 2019. This […]
