Avani Hotels & Resorts has begun development of its first hotel in Mauritius - located along a stretch of the island’s unspoilt south coast.

When it opens in 2021, the 150-key beachfront Avani Bel-Ombre Mauritius Resort & Spa will offer the best of both worlds – stylish accommodation coupled with an untouched beach paradise.

Only 30-minutes from the international airport, Avani Mauritius Bel-Ombre Resort & Spa will comprise 150 guest rooms, including 134 Standard Rooms and 16 Avani Suites.

In addition twelve, offer for purchase, residential Four-Bedroom Pool Villas will also be included in the development. 

Avani, a true lifestyle brand, appealing to millennial-minded travellers and focused on the details that matter, combines the personal and unique guest experiences that developers, KPMM Mauritius, were looking for when considering the management appointment for their new build Bel Ombre resort.

Coupled with the operational expertise and global reach of Minor Hotels, Avani’s stylish and straightforward approach to hospitality management firmly persuaded KPMM to award Avani the management contract. 

Alejandro Bernabe, group director Avani Hotels & Resorts, commented: “Mauritius is one of the most vibrant beach destinations in the world and Avani is the ideal brand to offer honeymooners, adventurers and incentive houses an alternative dynamic hospitality offering.

“Avani is rapidly expanding, not only in urban destinations such as Dubai, Busan and Auckland, but also our current resort portfolio in Vietnam, the Seychelles, Sri Lanka and now Mauritius.”
