Le Telfair Golf & Spa Resort Bel Ombre

 

Location

Located on the southern west, inspired by Charles Telfair, Le Telfair Golf & Spa Resort has been lovingly developed
on the site of one of Mauritius' best kept and most jealously guarded secrets, the former sugar estate of Bel Ombre,
adjoining one the most pristine stretches of beach of the island.

The countryside that surrounds Le Telfair Golf & Spa Resort is both impressive and imposing.
On the one side, the foothills of the Plaine Champagne mountain descend in a sheer drop of over 500 metres, while on the other side,
the sheer vastness of the Indian Ocean stretches beyond the horizon.

Le Telfair Golf & Spa Resort is just 35km from the airport and 40km from the country's capital, Port Louis.

 Accommodation

The resort takes its inspiration from the colonial architecture of Mauritius’ grand sugar estate mansions,
which exudes an atmosphere of elegance and romance.


The 158 rooms and suites are accommodated in villas of 6 or 8 rooms.
Ideally located between sea and nature, between the golf course and the lagoon, amidst the splendour of tropical gardens,
each room offers peace and tranquillity in abundance.

Golf

The 18-hole Championship golf course was designed by Mr Peter Matkovich of Matkovich & Hayes,
a firm of international golf course architects and contractors, based in South Africa.
Notwithstanding the incredible scenic beauty of his many courses, Peter believes that golf is a strategic game and that the prime responsibility
of the Architect is to provide a challenge to a golfer that is commensurate with his or her skill and ability.
Two streams run through the golf course which also features the Château de Bel Ombre and its beautiful French gardens.
Golfers walking the tracks to the next hole, enjoy a magnificent view of both the lagoons and the mountains.
The golf course adjoins the hotel and residents have access to the golf course by golf cart via a private golf cart path,
leaving from the hotel “porte cochère” to the golf Club House.
