Tamassa

Resort Pictures

Located on the beach at the beautiful resort of Bel Ombre on the South West coast of Mauritius the Tamassa stands at the end of a long avenue of mature coconut palms towering skywards

A picture postcard landscape stretches across sugarcane fields to the mountains beyond The south-west is the most unspoilt part of Mauritius with spectacular walks and drives through lush tropical hillsides and a range of open-air activities in beautiful countryside 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 Beyond lies thousands of miles of open sea

Tamassa seems at one with the environment The d cor is contemporary with clean lines and bold use of colour The atmosphere is one of eternal youth friendly cheerful and enthusiastic Tamassa is a true Mauritian experience

The traditional style architecture ideally suits the tropical setting with beautifully landscaped gardens

Standard Rooms

The d cor is strikingly attractive with pure simple lines contrasting with bright green touches on the bedspreads and an inspired image of a bird of paradise on the wall above the headboard With the terrace door wide open the colours in the Room seem to blend with the trees and plants outside Each Standard Room has either a queen-size bed or twin beds The bed cover specially designed for the hotel gives an immediate feeling of intimacy A sliding wooden door opens up to reveal a spacious bathroom bathed in natural light As well as a corner bath there is a separate shower cubicle edged in sintered-glass tiling 2 washbowls on stands and wardrobe space The toilet is behind a separate door The use of solid wood for all the doors and many of the fittings gives a warm rich feel to both rooms

Superior Rooms

Warm sunny colours envelop the room The d cor is attractively uncluttered with clean contemporary lines offset here by touches of red orange An image of a huge orchid stands above the wooden headboard and the touches of orange in the curtains and the uniquely designed bedcover are intoxicating The bathroom has a bath two glass washbasins a separate shower edged with decorated sintered-glass tiling and a wardrobe The toilet is behind a separate door The overall effect is invigorating the kind of room that makes guests want to linger for a few weeks more

Deluxe Rooms

The orchid feature again predominates above the headboard of the queen-size bed but this time shades of fuchsia are featured throughout to dramatic effect Kiatt a wood from North Africa is used throughout all the rooms The clean contemporary lines of the basic d cor offset here by the warmth of natural wood and the touches of fuchsia colour have a simply stunning impact The bathroom has a bright luxurious feel to it with two white porcelain hand basins set on a taup golden marble stand and sintered-glass Bizassa tiling from Italy in the shower The spacious bath set in its own alcove has marble surrounds

Lounge Bar

You walk into the Lounge Bar to be greeted by bright contemporary elegance

White blue and ochre shades add a warm glow to the wood steel and glass surfaces and fittings as if the sand and sea have inspired the unique d cor combining modern and traditional touches From the ceiling globes of light add to the subtle atmosphere reflecting in the ivory-coloured flooring and its bluish decorative tiling
