Centara Poste Lafayette Resort and Spa in Mauritius will soft open on 15 December, as final touches are being made to the interiors and landscape programme.

The resort marks the debut in Mauritius for Thailand-based Centara Hotels & Resorts.

Located at Poste Lafayette on the northeast coast of the island, the low-rise resort is flanked by a beach with its own lagoon and reef to one side and a mountain to the other.

The resort has 100 rooms and will house a Spa Cenvaree - the group's signature spa brand.

The Spa Cenvaree at Centara Poste will be designed around a traditional Vietnamese house from the city of Hu, and will combine modern concepts with local culture. It will offer a range of traditional treatments - including the signature Chen Sea Herbal Compress Body Massage.

Other facilities include a fitness centre, a free form swimming pool and children's pool, conference room, cocktail bar and children's clubs.

The resort has a range of dining facilities that include Café Nautilus, an all-day restaurant serving international food and Phi, a beachfront restaurant specialising in Asian and Indian Ocean cuisines.

Centara Hotel & Resorts have 38 luxury hotels in Thailand with a further 18 resorts worldwide.
