Full accommodation information
Hotel information
One of the most popular hotels on the island, with a wide variety of attractions and facilities, Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort is set on a long stretch of beach against the backdrop of a towering mountain range on the south coast at Bel Ombre, 45 minutes drive from the airport.
The 160 rooms and suites are decorated in a warm African - Indian Ocean theme and are large enough to accommodate two adults and two children up to 12 years old. The Deluxe Rooms are sea facing albeit from a distance, so foliage and garden will probably prevent a sea view. A supplement is payable for a Deluxe Sea View Room or a Deluxe Beach Front Room which are closer to, or on the beach, with clearer sea views.
Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort offers a selection of restaurants from gourmet menus to relaxed alfresco dining. Guests also have the benefit of dining next door at sister property Heritage Le Telfair for a supplement. Other facilities include access to the best golf course in the Indian Ocean, large spa, dedicated clubs for children and teenagers and a complimentary baby club for babies from 0 to 35 months, as well as a large sports centre and good choice of water sports.
Dress Code: In the evening, it is imperative that gentlemen wear long trousers, collared shirts and closed shoes for dinner. No shorts, jeans (even ‘smart’ jeans), trainers or flip-flops will be allowed in bars and restaurants from 19.00 hours.
NOTE: If your preferred dates are not available, we recommend booking Heritage Le Telfair sister-resort where you can enjoy the same beach, sports, golf and dining facilities at Domaine de Bel Ombre on your All Inclusive meal plan.

Sustainability Initiatives & Responsible Tourism
