Outrigger Opens Resort in Mauritius

Outrigger has expanded its portfolio of hotels to the Indian Ocean, with the opening of the 181-room beachfront Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa.

The Republic of Mauritius, a very popular honeymoon destination, is located 2,000 kms off the southeast coast of Africa, and 1,100 kms from the east coast of Madagascar.

The Outrigger Mauritius has an idyllic location on the southern tip of the island in the Bel Ombre nature reserve, adjacent to the Heritage Golf Club.

Outrigger Hotels and Resorts purchased the property in May 2013 and has completed an extensive refurbishment program.

The Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa General Manager, Frederic Chretien, said, "The Outrigger dream for Mauritius has come true. From today we are delivering our acclaimed Outrigger hospitality that blends the needs of the most discerning traveller with the charm and tradition of an early 17th century Mauritian sugar cane plantation on the island's southern coast."

Getting to Mauritius from Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa is easy. Direct flights connect Mauritius with Perth, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Paris, London, Dubai, Johannesburg and numerous other cities in Africa.

The new Outrigger Mauritius Resort and Spa is a 45-minute drive from the international airport (MRU) and a 90-minute drive from the capital, Port Louis.
