What sets it apart
The spirit of the place weds Mauritian splendour to the French art of living, and it shows first at the table: five places to eat, including a Japanese teppanyaki prepared in front of guests and an East Asian fine-dining table. The adults-only pool is heated during the cooler months, and then opens to children as well: it is the only period when the rule lapses. Views are shared between the sea, the beach and a Japanese garden. The Sofitel Fitness gym is open twenty-four hours a day.
The mood
Ravinala serves continental and American breakfast buffets, and themed dinners. Ming Court is the East Asian fine dining table. Teppanyaki is the Japanese table, prepared in front of the guest. Tamassa Beach Restaurant serves local and international specialities and grills, on the beach. Jacaranda is the Mauritian fine dining table. Three bars complete the set: Kestrel, Tamassa Beach and the Le Flamboyant pool bar.
