French product house and supplier Cinq Mondes is opening two new spas in Mauritius this autumn.

The openings, both located in existing luxury resorts, are part of Cinq Mondes’ plans to expand its portfolio of franchised spas across Africa and the Middle East.

The first one to open is a Cinq Mondes-branded spa at the Long Beach Golf and Spa Resort in Belle Mare on the east coast of Mauritius.

Featuring nine single treatment rooms and two double rooms for couples, the spa has been designed as a "sanctuary of serenity".

With lava rock walls and free-flowing water features, it will house two special scrub rooms and a hammam.

The second new spa will be located at the Sugar Beach Golf and Spa Resort in Flic-en-Flac, on the western coast of the island.

Facilities at the 1,000sq m (10,700sq ft) Imperial Spa by Cinq Mondes will include eight single treatment rooms, two double treatment rooms, two scrub rooms and a hammam.

Carole Wininger, global hospitality director at Cinq Mondes, said: “The spa at the Long Beach Resort has been designed as a wellness retreat, a new Cinq Mondes concept.

“We will offer three different treatment packages – each of either three or five days – so guests can choose from a detox, ayurvedic or a Taoist approach. All three options will be offered as holistic retreats.

"The idea is to offer a deep regeneration interlude which goes well beyond the spa experience – mixing spa treatments, nutrition, good sleep, yoga and Qi Gong courses.”

Both the Sugar Beach and Long Beach resorts are operated by Sun Resorts, one of the largest Mauritian hotel groups, which owns a total of four resorts on the island and an additional property in the Maldives.
