From treasure hunts to cooking classes, fishing in the lagoon, snorkeling and birthday celebrations, each activity is meticulously designed to amaze and strengthen family bonds. Families benefit from spacious rooms with baby cots, highchairs and other equipment provided free of charge, for a carefree stay.

Dining is also in the spotlight, with buffets, brunches and menus specially designed for children in the various restaurants. Something to tantalise the taste buds of young and old alike!

But the resort isn't just about entertainment, it is also committed to raising children's awareness of environmental protection by offering a series of activities linked to sustainable development, such as planting, gardening, marine education thanks to the Yellow Submarine, and recycling workshops. Through its sustainable development programme 'Now for Tomorrow', Heritage Awali strives to preserve the beauty of nature for future generations and to raise awareness among young people of the need to protect our planet.

Heritage Awali is constantly innovating to surprise its guests and show them the best of Mauritian hospitality. Thanks to its attentive team and quality facilities, the Resort intends to remain a safe bet for family holidays in Mauritius.
