Nature is at its wildest,<br />
in the “beautiful” South,<br />
where Heritage Resorts is<br />
nestled on the 2500-hectare<br />
Domaine de Bel Ombre<br />
in the green Southwest,<br />
stretching from the forested<br />
foothills of Black River<br />
Gorges National Park to the<br />
sparkling sea. A wellbeing<br />
pioneer, it created the first<br />
all-Mauritian spa concept,<br />
the sensual Seven Colours,<br />
which, based on authentic<br />
eastern spirituality, aims to<br />
rebalance the body’s seven<br />
chakras (corresponding<br />
to the seven colours of<br />
the rainbow).<br />
Dedicated to improving<br />
the mind, body and spirit,<br />
Heritage Le Telfair is the<br />
first “wellness” labelled<br />
resort in Mauritius, and its<br />
Seven Colours Wellness<br />
Experiences range from<br />
“forest bathing” and<br />
“wellness walks” in the<br />
Heritage Nature Reserve to<br />
wellness weeks featuring<br />
international experts.<br />
