Luxury Hotels Atlas / The Maison / Constance
Constance hotels
Indian Ocean resorts build stays around reef life and beaches, with golf on larger islands.
Constance knows the Indian Ocean through long experience, with island resorts shaped around their beaches, marine life, and, at several addresses, golf. The Mauritius-born collection began with ten self-catering bungalows in 1975 and grew into a regional specialist whose “True by Nature” philosophy keeps the island setting at the center of the stay.

History
Constance grew outward from Mauritius through neighboring Indian Ocean destinations. Golf and the natural setting became recurring themes, taking different forms in Lemuria’s course, Prince Maurice’s waterside architecture, and Halaveli’s island layout. The collection’s later management of existing resorts introduced another way to grow beyond its original developments.
