Banyan Tree
has signed a new management contract in the Republic of Mauritius, located in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa.
The
Banyan Tree in Le Morne, Mauritius will be the first project for the Group in Mauritius, an unforgettable and dramatic tropical paradise also known
in French as L'Île Maurice.
“Banyan Tree has always enjoyed a strong presence in the Indian Ocean as a premier operator of top end resorts andresidences. This project further entrenches our pole position in the region and enhances our ability to continue to provide our guests
with exclusive getaways in the most exotic surroundings,” said Executive Chairman, Mr Ho Kwon Ping.
Located in the picturesque Le Morne area of Mauritius, the development will consist of a 60-key pool villa resort and
110 units of Banyan Tree branded residences, all of which are architecturally designed by Fosters & Partners from the United Kingdom, with
the resort villas designed in collaboration with Architrave Design & Planning, the in-house design division of Banyan Tree.
The project will also feature a Gary Player designed golf course and a golf club with full facilities for its residents and guests. The first phase
of the project will be launched with the start of the sales of the branded residences this October. The resort is projected to be completed in
2010.
Set on one of the pristine coastal stretches of the island, the site is notable for its spectacular coral reef and the dramatic backdrop of Le
Morne Brabant – a mythical volcanic rock that rises above the gleaming seascape and current UNESCO World Heritage Site candidate. The
resort’s discreet and environmentally intelligent design comprises villas built with natural volcanic rock, renewable and natural timber, and
Mauritian textiles.
