How about experiencing a local immersion from the moment you wake up, right within your hotel? Imagine… waking up and falling asleep to the rhythmic sound of the ravane, with the scent of spices filling the air. Staying at Veranda Resorts offers you the chance to live an intensely local experience for a day at the hotel, through unique moments of sharing around the culture, traditions, and cuisine of our island.
A Burst of Flavors
Immersion isn’t complete without tasting the sometimes-surprising specialties of our host country. At Veranda Resorts, this tasting experience starts at breakfast with a colorful display of tropical fruits at the buffet, including the famous ‘macatia coco’ that literally melts in your mouth. A real treat! Throughout the day, typical spicy, and sometimes even peppery, Mauritian dishes are served by our passionate Chefs who take pleasure in explaining the art of eating ‘à la Mauricienne’ to travelers. During the day, what better than fresh coconut water by the pool accompanied by delicious dumplings or crispy ‘gâteaux piment’. For a convivial dinner, nothing beats sitting at our ‘Tab Kreol’ to savor fresh fish while sharing the highlights of your stay.
Immersive Experiences
The Mauritian day is orchestrated by various local experiences, allowing our travelers to discover our culture, traditions, and customs through a range of immersive experiences. The must-attend culinary workshop tops the list, where you can create a local recipe with our passionate Chef who provides his most valuable tips. After the effort, it’s time for tasting, delighting the senses! Learning some Creole expressions is also one of the experiences offered during this day with our ‘Koz Kreol’ workshop, a moment of sharing among travelers around key everyday expressions such as ‘korek’ or ‘ki to pe fer?’. Laughter guaranteed! And to refresh at the end of the day, nothing beats a dip in the lagoon to discover the colorful flora and fauna, an impressive kaleidoscope! The nautical center of your hotel offers a range of non-motorized water activities, ensuring fun without pollution.
Local Artists and Artisans in the Spotlight
Our Mauritian day is enlivened by local music performed by artists from the Mauritian scene. Percussion trios or guitar solos, there is music for all tastes! In the evening, local artisans also showcase their art and share their know-how. Basket weaving in raffia or macramé, painting on coconut shells or dried banana leaves… at our Ti Bazaar, you can find 100% local souvenirs, bringing a piece of Mauritius home with you! Finally, our Sega show, the traditional dance of Mauritius, beautifully concludes this day, leaving you with memorable memories.
