There are a number of exotic locations within a few hours of the Middle East and GCC, allowing travellers to trade the simmering summer desert heat for a tropical wealther. The moderate temperatures, the diverse greenery and the delicate environment all combine to make the Indian Ocean home to some of the most stunning locations in the world, and the reason why Constance Hotels & Resorts have chosen to focus their unique hospitality across these beautiful islands.
Mauritius
The mesmerising beauty of Mauritius stems from its volcanic origin and green nature. The island is surrounded by one of the most extensive coral reefs and boasts a natural beauty capable of seducing even the most discerning guests. Stretched over 2 km of white sandy beach Constance Belle Mare Plage is an ideal family getaway to enjoy wildlife and activities as well as fine food. With multiple suites and villa options, all of which is outfitted with contemporary furniture in warm and light colours to give a fresh, chic atmosphere.
All accommodation types enjoy fantastic views of the turquoise water of the Indian ocean or the greenery of the surrounding tropical gardens. At the same time, the sister hotel Constance Prince Maurice is nestled on a close sandy beach in Poste de Flacq, facing the crystal-clear water of the Indian ocean and offers couples planning to escape a perfect romantic hideaway this summer.
The secluded suites built on stilts above a natural reserve lake filled with a unique mix of fishes add a sense of tranquillity to the close-knit vacation. Mauritius is a year-round holiday hot spot due to its location in the Southern hemisphere; the winter season runs from May through October. The temperature is generally in the mid-20s making Mauritius perfectly balmy and an ideal destination for families to escape the summer heat.
Maldives
The Maldives is one of Earth’s few destinations that can give visitors an impeccable experience, thanks to its excellent climate and lush vegetation bathed in warm sunbeams. With two stunning hotels, each is a separate private island; Constance Halaveli and Constance Moofushi offer an extraordinary summer vacation, whether guests seek romance and relaxation or water sports and thrill-seeking activities.
Reaching Constance Halaveli or Constance Moofushi by seaplane is a once-in-a-lifetime venture, as watching a seemingly floating island surrounded by hued sea water and coral reefs captured overhead is breath-taking and a fantastic start to the stay. At the same time, gastronomy is a tropical experience inspired by Asian cuisine with a European twist. A harmony of flavours will take you on an aromatic journey with a mix of casual barefoot and fine dining outlets that offer flavours from across the globe.
Blessed with some of the best diving spots in the world, as well as abundant marine life and tantalising underwater scenery, Constance Halaveli and Constance Moofushi are a paradise for water sports lovers. Divers can spot sunken islands of sponges and soft corals that grow almost to sea level and are decorated by crustaceans and schools of coral fish. Away from the reefs, manta rays, eagles, and a variety of sharks, including the mighty whale sharks, can be spotted. Beauty is everywhere in the Maldives; guests can enjoy clear crystal water, fantastic weather, and fascinating marine creatures.
Seychelles
Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 granite and coral islands strewn across the Indian Ocean’s warm, lovely seas. Praslin, La Digue, and Mahé are the principal islands, with stunning tropical beaches, excellent coral reefs, pleasant weather, and fascinating fauna.
While Seychelles’ only zip line stretches over the hills of the Constance Ephelia, the only 18-hole championship golf course in Seychelles is at Constance Lemuria
Situated on two of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Mahé, overlooking the marine national park of Port Launay, Constance Ephelia is perfect for families seeking quality time and privacy. The hotel enjoys a unique location within 120 hectares of land covered with luxuriant and rare vegetation.
With five restaurants spanning Mediterranean, Asian, international and native creole cuisine, there’s something for everyone’s taste buds.
Constance Lemuria in Praslin Island is the perfect escape for those seeking a romantic getaway. Set on the northwest shore of Praslin Island, the second-largest island in Seychelles with a nearby UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Anse Georgette. A trip to the nearby Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve to witness the unique Coco de Mer palms is a must for any Seychelles vacation.
Madagascar
Madagascar is one of the world’s biggest islands and a biodiversity hotspot. A fascinating, colourful, and diverse world filled with outstanding national reserves and parks await both nature lovers and adventure seekers.
Constance Tsarabanjina, located on Tsarabanjina, a private tropical island small enough to circumnavigate on foot, carpeted in a lush green bird-filled jungle, and surrounded by azure waters and reefs that support a mind-blowing array of gem-like fish, this tiny island ranks as one of the best Indian Ocean Island experiences.
Constance Tsarabanjina is an unpretentious hotel with laid back atmosphere and barefoot luxury. Rooms are built-in timber thatched with palm, every building is proportioned to sit within the lush vegetation, so the man-made blends perfectly with the wild. It’s the essence of barefoot chic. The timber bungalows are beautifully finished and maintained.
