Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has plans to take over Le Touessrok Resort in Mauritius. The group will reflag and launch the hotel as Shangri-La’s Le Touessrok Resort & Spa, Mauritius in September 2015 following a renovation.
“Mauritius is a jewel in the Indian Ocean with white sand beaches. We are excited about the opportunity to invest in and manage a property such as Le Touessrok Resort, which has a rich history and legendary reputation for superb service,” says Shangri-La president and CEO Greg Dogan. “With the addition of Shangri-La’s Le Touessrok Resort & Spa, Mauritius to Shangri-La’s portfolio, our guests will have another exotic destination to choose from in our growing collection of resorts in Asia and the Indian Ocean.”
Set on the east coast of the island, the hotel has three villas and 200 guestrooms and suites, all of which have sea views. Along with extensive water and land-based activities, it offers guests access to two islands: Ilot Mangenie, a private, secluded isle with two miles of beach, and Ile aux Cerfs, where the 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course designed by Bernhard Langer is located.
The resort will continue to operate as Le Touessrok until it is renovated and then reflagged. It will be Shangri-La’s third resort in the Indian Ocean, joining Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort & Spa, Maldives and Shangri-La’s Hambamtota Resort & Spa, Sri Lanka, which opens summer 2015.
