Tamassa

Fully Inclusive Resort Hotel

Description:

Set on the south-west coast amidst lush tropical hillsides and sugarcane plantations, the spacious 4-star Tamassa is bold and contemporary in its architecture and décor. In front of the hotel, beyond the sandy beach, lies a turquoise lagoon that almost blends into the skyline. The sea air is invigorating and the ripples of the waves gently calming.

Offering a new Mauritian experience and popular with young clientele looking for something with a difference, all of the rooms are housed in villas with sea views. Arranged in arcs, two of the sets of villas are centered around large swimming pools and the third is on the seafront.

Around the hotel's main swimming pool, the "Show" restaurant, the "B-Bar" and the boutique are grouped together in a village style. The view extends from the mountains through the lush sugar cane fields, to end up gazing across an azure lagoon towards the horizon.
