First time holiday on Mauritius

Jane G, Ayr, United Kingdom

Oct 16 2024

We have never spent on any previous holiday as much as we did on our premium all inclusive 2 week holiday at Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort. We flew with Emirates and paid for extra leg room seats as my husband is 6ft 2in. A 7.5 hr flight from Glasgow to Dubai then another 6.5 hours flight Dubai to Mauritius. After an hour transfer from the airport, we arrived at the resort at 11 am. First impression was that we were entering an African village, the impression confirmed by a large drum beating our arrival (and same for every other arrival). After registration and a brief tour, we were invited to go for lunch as our room wasn’t ready. Our lunch was the first of many fine culinary experiences. We were advised our room was ready just after 2 and as we were shown to the room we were advised that we could have a room with a sea view for another €100 per night. That immediately annoyed me as it was our first time at the resort and to Mauritius and we had spent £11k! Our room was very nice and again the decor very much the African theme. Our balcony had no sun at any time of the day. We had views of the pool and could glimpse the sea through the trees. The food is very good! Breakfast was at the Savannah buffet restaurant and there was plenty of choice to suit everyone. Dinner is also available at the Savannah and we ate there twice and again there was plenty of choice. As well as the Savannah buffet restaurant, there is Zaffarini (Indian restaurant) Infinity Blue, Amafrooty, CBeach and Aux Grille (at the golf clubhouse) well as a couple of bars and the Coco Shack which served rum cocktails. As part of our package we had lunch at Le Chateu, a stunning building with beautiful gardens and the former home of a sugar cane plantation owner, now owned by Heritage. The upper floor of the house can be rented out. The food was delicious! As well as the aforementioned restaurants, as part of our package we could have eaten at the restaurants at the sister resort, Le Telfair. If we chose to eat at, say, Gingha, we had a MR1,500 credit each towards the bill. However, we were happy with the choice we had at Awali. Le Telfair has the wow factor in a different way to Awali. The resort is in french colonial style and reminded us of the southern states of America. It is very stuffy unlike the Awali which has atmosphere. The beach and sea is lovely but we were quite shocked at the amount of coral lying on the beaches. There is a coral reef and we took the glass bottom boat to view the coral. There is quite a bit of dead coral, possibly due to the speed boats that occasionally fly past in waters that are not very deep. The main reason we were at Heritage Awali was for the golf. We have friends who have been going for years and highly recommended it. Le chateau GC is a very enjoyable course to play. My hubby has a handicap of 1 and I’m 19.7 but we both loved playing the course. There is a half way house where you get a lemon or tamarind juice and small cookies. We also played La Reserve GC. This was extra special to play. The course is just over a year old but you’d never know it. It is a stunning course and very challenging. You have a 15 mins buggy ride from the clubhouse to the first tee where you are met by a steward who offers you a Macallans Whiskey before teeing off. There is a half-way house where you get a lemon or tamarind juice and amazing cookies, as well as other drinks and food you can buy. The wild boars had done some damage on the fairways and it is a real shame and a challenge to the owners on how they will deal with this going forward. We loved the golf and if we go back again we will play 4th oldest course in the world, Gymkhana GC. There are 12 golf courses on Mauritius. What makes Heritage Awali extra special is the team that look after you. They are a credit to the resort. In particular, Jay, Shayama, Nitisha & Varsha come to mind but that’s simply because I didn’t write down the names of the wonderful people who looked after us during our holiday.
