A vibrant all-inclusive resort set in tropical gardens, Tamassa is in a fantastic spot in Bel Ombre, on Mauritius’ southwest coast. On the beach you’ll find white sands, rustling coconut trees and a cobalt lagoon, while soaring mountains behind the hotel complete this dramatic setting. The dense sugarcane fields are perfect for bike rides and evening walks, while the crystal-clear lagoon offers fantastic snorkelling. With adventures both on land and out on the water, there’s always something to keep you busy at Tamassa.

Tamassa boasts an infectious fun and friendly atmosphere. From poolside cocktails at sunset to film screenings on the beach, this place knows how to entertain – there’s even a nightclub open late twice a week. Little ones will be happy, too, as the PLAY Kids’ Club has a line-up of activities, including pool games, pillow fighting, face painting and treasure hunts. And teens will love Studio17, where they can get involved with table football, table tennis, water-polo, beach volleyball, bike rides and more.

While it’s easy to keep active at Tamassa, you can also take some well-deserved time out. In the heart of the landscape gardens, perfectly blended with its natural surroundings, LUX* Me Spa is a tranquil hideaway. Take your pick from a range of therapeutic massages, facials and body wraps. Or simply soak in the hot tub, sweat out any toxins in the sauna, and unwing in the hammam. There’s also a 12-metre pool here, if you fancy a dip.
