A Legacy of Hospitality, born by the Indian Ocean.
Since 1975, welcoming guests has been our craft and our calling. Twelve hotels across Mauritius, the Seychelles, the Maldives, Madagascar and Rodrigues. Each one reflecting the environment, culture and purpose that shaped it, so that every arrival feels less like a stay and more like a homecoming.
Founded in 1975, we're now a leading hospitality group
Constance began in the sugar fields of Mauritius in the 1920s. Tourism came later. In 1975, with the opening of Belle Mare Plage, we found what we were truly meant for, and a genuine passion for hospitality took root. Half a century on, that passion still guides everything we do, drawing on more than thirty years of experience in hotel management. It lives in two distinct brands, Constance Hotels & Resorts and C Resorts, in a training academy shaping the next generation of talent, and on championship golf courses set against the ocean.
True luxury is defined by emotion
True luxury, we believe, is not a matter of category or price. It is a matter of emotion, of how a place lingers with you long after you leave. Each of our brands speaks to a different way of travelling, living and connecting, and each is shaped by the same roots and the same spirit of warm, purposeful hospitality.
