…In Mauritius
Last month, Heritage Le Telfair, part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World collection, reopened after a 3-month renovation. The property, located in Mauritius, has debuted as a tropical island escape with newly designed guestrooms, suites and common areas. Each room includes the services of a dedicated butler, personal beach attendants, and a Les Clef d’Or concierge is also available. A new wellness pavilion offers guests yoga, tai chi, Pilates, qigong, and mediation sessions, and new spa treatments have been designed by the hotel’s osteopath and wellness specialists to offer guests additional pampering. For guests who want to dive deeper into their wellness regimen, 3- or 5-night wellness packages customized for each guest are available.
With 12 onsite restaurants, culinary options range from a healthy breakfast at Annabella’s to gourmet delicacies at Le Chateau de Bel Ombre. Annabella’s offers a gourmet VIP tent dinner and wine pairing option, or clients can opt for the champagne sunset experience at Gin’Ja, which also serves Asian street food for lunch. Room rates start at $429 per night.

Fusion Resort Phu Quoc, the latest addition to the Fusion portfolio, brings the brand’s innovative health and wellness lifestyle to Vietnam’s largest island Phu Quoc.

At Fusion, the guest’s health and well-being is at the core of the experience. As Fusion’s founder and CEO Marco van Aggele says in press materials, “With the latest Fusion property we’ve created a wellness retreat that offers outstanding comfort and down-to-earth hospitality without the fuss and formalities of the traditional ‘luxury’ beachfront resort. We’ve also chosen a location that is currently undergoing a boom in tourism thanks to its powder white sand beaches, exotic jungles, world-class diving, and some of the freshest seafood you’ll find
in Vietnam.”
Its All Spa Inclusive concept allows guests to enjoy daily spa treatments at no additional cost. Keeping with the laid-back and stress-free vibe of the property, its Breakfast, Anywhere, Anytime service allows guests to enjoy the most important meal of the day wherever and whenever. The property features three eateries including the casual beachfront bar and diner Soul Kitchen, offering healthy, nutritious meals; Secret Garden, an all-day dining venue offering international cuisine; and the oceanside Pezca, offering seafood with sunset views.
If you’re wondering what this new property will grant your clients, general manager Fernando Arroyo says, “An experience that will fill a suitcase with nothing but wonderful and warm memories to cherish for a long time.”
