Constance Hotels & Resorts Celebrates 50 Years of Emotion and Hospitality in the Heart of the Indian Ocean

This is the story of a dream that became iconic... In 1975, on the serene shores of Belle Mare, Constance Hotels & Resorts opened its very first establishment. This modest hotel was driven by a simple yet visionary idea: to provide sincere hospitality rooted in the island's natural beauty of Mauritius. This founding vision subtly marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of hospitality in the Indian Ocean. Fifty years later, Constance Hotels & Resorts has established itself as a leading hotel brand in the region. To commemorate its golden jubilee, the hotel group has organized a series of prestigious events throughout October and November, honoring not only its legacy but especially celebrating the men and women who have kept its heart beating for half a century.

To celebrate this half-century of history, Constance Hotels & Resorts is rolling out a rich program of internal and external events, characterized by emotion, sharing, and excellence. Gourmet dinners prepared by an internationally renowned chef, accompanied by meetings with exceptional wine producers, moments of camaraderie, and a 'Fun Day' for all Mauritian employees: all these opportunities aim to highlight the group’s culture and the unique bond that unites its talents.

Constance Hotels & Resorts has also unveiled the campaign "Where the Heart Stays," a true tribute to all those who have participated in building this rich history: shared stories, emotions, and connections woven over time. "Constance Hotels & Resorts is fundamentally a human story deeply rooted in Mauritius. For 50 years, we have grown alongside our island and region, creating opportunities, nurturing talent, and supporting communities. Our golden jubilee is more than just a celebration; it is a promise for tomorrow. It embodies the innovation, sustainability, and excellence that have always inspired us. This anniversary is also an opportunity to pay tribute to our teams and partners, without whom nothing would have been possible, and to thank our clients for their trust. Together, we will continue to promote authentic, responsible hospitality that is firmly oriented towards the future," declares Jean-Jacques Vallet, Chief Executive Officer of Constance Hospitality.

In 1999, Constance Hotels & Resorts became the first Mauritian hotel group to open a hotel abroad: Constance Lemuria in Praslin, Seychelles. The group now has nine hotels across five destinations in the Indian Ocean (Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives, Madagascar, and Rodrigues), showcasing Mauritian expertise in luxury tourism, gastronomy, spa services, and golf.

The firstborn of the group, Constance Belle Mare Plage, is now a five-star resort offering a luxurious setting amidst tropical gardens. With its 278 rooms and villas, two 18-hole golf courses (the Legend and the Links), and eight restaurants, it embodies the mastery of Constance Hotels group's expertise: a blend of comfort, precision, and natural elegance.

C Resorts (present in Mauritius and Rodrigues, with significant development potential), the sister brand of Constance Hotels & Resorts, caters to a new generation of travelers seeking vibrant and relaxed experiences without compromising on quality or emotion.

Fifty years after its creation on the shores of Belle Mare, Constance Hotels & Resorts continues to embody a certain art of luxury: one that is not imposing but felt. Grounded in its time and looking towards the future, the brand aims to continue its mission of showcasing Mauritian hospitality expertise on the international stage, while remaining a benchmark of excellence in hospitality in the Indian Ocean.
