Official FAQ lists Savana, Boma, Zafarani, Amafrooty and Infinity Blue; premium packages can extend dining privileges within the Heritage Bel Ombre estate.

Who fits where at Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort
All 4 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Size | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deluxe Room | Sleeps 4 | 560 ft²52 m² | Not published | Garden, pool or sea |
| Deluxe Beachfront Room | Sleeps 4 | 560 ft²52 m² | Not published | Beachfront |
| Senior Suite | Sleeps 6 | Not published | Not published | Garden, pool or sea |
| Heritage Villa Beach Front | Sleeps 6 | Not published | 3 bedrooms | Beachfrontprivate pool |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book

Heritage Awali is one of Mauritius's stronger true all-inclusive choices for families, golfers and spa-focused travelers.
The resort's value depends heavily on which all-inclusive package you book.
It is better for a resort-and-estate holiday than for travelers who want nightlife or a walkable town.
Hidden tips
Compare Gourmet Bliss and Premium All Inclusive benefits before booking.
Book restaurants early because repeated guest discussion mentions reservation friction.
Families should note that the kids club starts at age 3.
Things guests wish they had known
The experience changes materially depending on whether you book the higher all-inclusive package with expanded dining and golf privileges.

The rate, and where to check it
A checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. Here is the stay we price.
