Stayed at Constance Lemuria — 2025
There are few moments in life that truly feel suspended in time — ours began as I stepped barefoot onto the soft sands of Anse Georgette, the sound of waves whispering through the palms as the golden light of the Seychelles wrapped around us. At Constance Lemuria, every heartbeat of our wedding felt like a dream brought to life — intimate, natural, and filled with the quiet kind of beauty that words can never quite hold.
From the first sunrise on Mahé to the last sunset over Praslin, we felt completely seen and cared for — every smile, every detail, every thoughtful touch reflected the resort’s effortless grace and deep understanding of what it means to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Standing together beneath the open sky, surrounded by nature so vivid and alive, it felt as though the world had paused just for us.
Even now, when life moves too quickly, I close my eyes and I’m there again — the sea breeze lifting my veil, the sound of gentle laughter from our loved ones, the taste of salt and champagne as we toasted to forever. Constance Lemuria didn’t just host our wedding; it became part of our story — a place where love felt boundless, peaceful, and profoundly real.
That memory, that feeling — of stillness, of connection, of pure joy — is something I will carry with me always. Constance is more than a destination; it’s a feeling you return to, again and again, in your heart.

Constance Belle Mare Plage – where our love story began
Constance Belle Mare Plage will always hold a very special place in our hearts. It was the destination of our very first holiday together – back when my wife was still my girlfriend. From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted: the breathtaking scenery, the crystal-clear water, the incredible hospitality, and the delicious food made it an unforgettable experience.
Almost ten years have passed since then. Today, we are happily married and blessed with the greatest gift of all – our little sunshine, our son.
Looking back, we can truly say that Constance was the starting point of our wonderful journey together – the place where our love grew even stronger. Returning to this magical place would mean so much to us.
It would be a dream come true to relive those beautiful memories and create new ones – maybe together with our son at the very same place where it all began.
We would be incredibly happy and grateful to win this chance – to go back, reminisce, and celebrate how it all started.

Stayed at Constance Ephelia— 2024
Dear Constance Team,
Happy 50th Anniversary! Today, I’d like to share a very special story that forever connects my wife Lucie and me to Constance.
Back in 2014, Lucie and I travelled to the Seychelles for the very first time. She was still a student, and I had just started my career. Our budget was limited, so we stayed in small bed & breakfasts while exploring Mahé, Praslin and La Digue.
On Mahé, we drove every single paved road and eventually found ourselves in the breathtaking bay of Port Launay. Spending the day there, we couldn’t help but notice the stunning Constance Ephelia resort, perfectly nestled into the landscape. We were mesmerised.
Right then and there, we made a promise to each other: one day, when life allowed, we would come back. And secretly, I made another promise to myself — that if we ever returned, I would ask Lucie to become my wife on that very beach, at that very hotel.
In 2024, a decade later, we made that dream come true. We returned not only to Constance Ephelia, but also to Constance Lemuria, where we celebrated Lucie’s birthday on July 26. And on July 30, at Constance Ephelia, I got down on one knee. She said “yes”, and on September 26, 2025, we were married.
The Constance team made that evening unforgettable with their warm hospitality, dedication and attention to detail. Lucie and I had the most magical time — just the two of us, enjoying exquisite food, talking, laughing, and soaking in every moment.
It was everything we had dreamed of, thanks to you. This story has become one we love to tell — to friends, to family, to anyone who will listen — about a promise, a dream, and a place so special that it became part of our lives.
Thank you, Constance. We love you, we will keep returning to this magical place and its extraordinary people and would love to explore more Constance Hotels around the globe.
All the best in the world to you to the Constance team,
Lucie and Dirk

Stayed at Constance Prince Maurice — 2025
Toujours un bonheur de retrouver le Prince Maurice !
Nous avons découvert l’hôtel en 2017… et depuis, nous y revenons chaque année. En août 2024, nous y avons célébré notre mariage, avant de poursuivre notre lune de miel au Constance Halaveli.
Après notre maison à La Réunion, le Prince Maurice est sans conteste le lieu sur terre où nous nous sentons le mieux. Un écrin de magie et de sérénité, une parenthèse précieuse dans nos vies trépidantes : confort absolu, quiétude, gastronomie raffinée, vins d’exception et service irréprochable. Le Prince Maurice nous a appris à voyager autrement.
Merci au groupe Constance de cultiver l’excellence et d’élever les standards du voyage !

Stayed at Constance Moofushi— 2023
More Than a Hotel - 10 Years of Love and Constance
Ten years ago, we first set foot on Constance Moofushi, and it captured our hearts forever. We celebrated our wedding there with an incredibly moving and beautiful ceremony on the snowy white beach. The planning was flawless, and the experience was nothing short of magical.
That first visit gifted us with more than just memories; it gifted us with lifelong friends from Switzerland. Our bond, forged in the beauty of Moofushi, remains strong to this day.
Our next chapter with Constance Moofushi was as a young family. We returned with our one year old baby, and Constance Moofushi worked its magic for the second time, bringing us together with kindred spirits. Once again, it gifted us with true friends, whom we cherish and with whom we are inseparable to this day! Constance has a way of bringing together souls who share a love for life's finest pleasures: hedonism, the enjoyment of wine, a deep appreciation for nature, and a desire to be among beautiful people.
We feel better here than at home, yet I could never call it just a hotel. It is a heavenly corner with incredible staff, a delightful atmosphere, and leaving has always brought me to tears. Our subsequent journey led us to Constance Belle Mare Mauritius, and once again, we found ourselves in paradise. The nature, the cuisine, and, of course, the magnificent wine cellar create a perfect harmony.
For a vacation with a small child, it is simply the best place on Earth, where we truly recharge as a family, our hearts overflow with love, and a spark ignites in our eyes.
This post is a gratitude letter to every Constance employee. You don't just make people happy, you give them something bigger – a new little life, brimming with vivid impressions, new friends, and flavors!
Thank you! And very soon, in December, we are racing back to you in Constance Belle Mare. May our family continue to grow alongside you, and may your hearts always be filled with the love of those who return.

Stayed at Constance Halaveli — 2025
A Honeymoon to Remember: Our Magical Escape to Constance Halaveli
From the moment we stepped off the seaplane and onto the jetty of Constance Halaveli, we knew we were entering a world apart—one where time slows down, senses awaken, and every detail is crafted to perfection. Nestled in the heart of the Maldives, this island sanctuary became the backdrop to one of the most meaningful chapters of our lives: our honeymoon.
Despite a few rainy days, our experience was nothing short of extraordinary. In fact, the occasional tropical showers only added to the charm—inviting us to slow down, savor the moment, and enjoy the cozy luxury of our overwater villa. Waking up to the gentle sound of waves beneath us, sipping coffee on our private deck as the ocean shimmered in every shade of blue, and watching the rain dance over the lagoon—these moments will stay with us forever.
What truly elevated our stay was the exceptional quality of service. Every member of the staff—from the warm welcome at reception to the attentive waiters and the discreet housekeeping team—made us feel not just cared for, but genuinely celebrated. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail created an atmosphere of effortless elegance. We were constantly surprised by thoughtful gestures: a bottle of champagne waiting in our room, petals on the bed, and personalized notes that made us feel truly special.
The culinary experience at Constance Halaveli was another highlight. Each meal was a celebration of flavor, freshness, and creativity. Whether we were enjoying a romantic dinner under the stars at Jing, indulging in the vibrant buffet at Jahaz, or savoring a light lunch by the pool, the food was consistently exquisite. The chefs masterfully combined international sophistication with local ingredients, offering dishes that delighted both the palate and the soul. We still dream of the grilled lobster, the delicate sushi, and the tropical fruit platters that greeted us each morning.
Beyond the villa and the dining, the natural beauty of the island was simply breathtaking. The lush vegetation, the pristine white sand, and the crystal-clear waters created a paradise that felt almost unreal. We spent hours snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs, swimming with manta rays, and walking hand-in-hand along the beach at sunset. Even on cloudy days, the island radiated serenity and magic.
But perhaps what made our stay truly unforgettable was the sense of intimacy and connection we felt—not only with each other, but with the place itself. Constance Halaveli is more than a luxury resort; it is a haven where love is nurtured, memories are made, and every moment feels like a gift.
We left with hearts full of gratitude, already dreaming of the day we might return. Thank you, Constance Halaveli, for giving us a honeymoon beyond our wildest dreams. It was not just a stay—it was a celebration of love, life, and beauty.
We left Constance Halaveli with hearts full of joy, memories etched in gold, and a quiet promise to return. Because some places don’t just host you—they become part of your story.

Stayed at Constance Prince Maurice — 2003
It’s impossible to restrict our experience with Constance Hotels to just one story—there have been too many unforgettable moments. But arriving at Prince Maurice for our honeymoon stands out as one of the most magical. I vividly remember the long drive up to the reception, exhausted after 24 hours of travel and several days of wedding celebrations. As the taxi door opened, we were welcomed with warm smiles, refreshing towels, and the signature scent of the hotel. In that instant, the fatigue vanished.
That moment marked the beginning of our love affair with Constance Hotels, and we’ve never looked back. From our first visit as newlyweds, to returning while expecting our first child, to family holidays with two young children and their grandparents at Belle Mare Plage, each stay has been filled with joy and meaning. One especially memorable highlight was winning the Texas Scramble at the Legends course with my father-in-law—an incredible experience that added a touch of friendly competition and celebration to our trip.
We’ve celebrated our 10th and 20th anniversaries at Moofushi and Halaveli—snorkeling with whale sharks being a standout memory—and every visit has left us recharged and grateful. Most importantly, the staff have been consistently exceptional. From the cleaners to the reception team to the activity coordinators, every single person has made us feel welcome, cared for, and truly at home.
We’ve cherished every trip, and each one has added a new layer to our story.
Thank you, Constance Hotels, for the memories, the warmth, and the magic. We can’t wait to return—and look forward to more magical trips, perhaps one day with our own sons-in-law and grandchildren in tow.

Stayed at Constance Tsarabanjina — 2018
After another glorious day at Constance Tsarabanjina we slowly meandered back to our beautiful cabin. The evening breeze rustled the palm trees as we walked back from our delicious dinner, looking out for giant chameleons and delighting in the beautiful stars. We reached our chalet and noticed movement around the paving stones of our cabin. We shone our cellphone torches and saw small, brown creatures all around our cabin searching out the light. A mass of turtles hatching around our cabin!!
We literally leapt with joy and alarm. Cam, my son raced to the office to notify the manager and let him know of this amazing occurrence. Guests at dinner were notified and we shone our cellphone torches towards the sea to show them the way. The most special, life affirming moment seeing these tiny beings making their journey — a memory that will stay with my son and I forever.
This is one of the many reasons that we have come back to Constance Tsarabanjina time and time again, the warmth of the staff, the barefoot luxury and the timeless memories.

Stayed at Constance Prince Maurice — 2025
Sometimes, the most beautiful destinations find you by accident.
In 2018, I was a student visiting Mauritius for the first time, full of curiosity but short on luxury. One afternoon, I stumbled upon Constance Prince Maurice for lunch. It wasn’t part of any plan — just a spontaneous stop that turned into a memory I could never shake.
From the moment I stepped onto the property, I was spellbound. The serene lagoon, the calm, the ambiance, the gentle rustle of palm trees — it all felt like another world. As I left that day, I made a quiet promise to myself: One day, I’ll come back. Not just for lunch, but to truly experience this place.
Years passed, life moved forward, and that promise stayed tucked in my heart.
In 2025, I finally returned — this time not as a student, but as someone fulfilling a long-held dream. From the first warm welcome to the final goodbye, every moment was perfection. The staff didn’t just serve; they cared. Every detail felt personal, thoughtful, and full of genuine Mauritian warmth.
It’s rare to find a place that makes you feel both at home and completely transported — but Constance Prince Maurice is that rare gem. My heart was full the entire stay, and even now, as I write this, I can still feel the calm of that ocean breeze and the warmth of the staff that filled each day.
I’ve traveled far and wide since, but nowhere in the world compares to this experience. Constance Prince Maurice isn’t just a hotel — it’s a promise kept, a dream realized, and a feeling I can’t wait to relive again.

Stayed at Constance Tekoma — 2025
I had the most unforgettable honeymoon experience at Tekoma Constance Hotel in Rodrigues! The hotel's serene atmosphere, stunning ocean views, and beautifully decorated rooms made our stay truly special. The staff went above and beyond to make our honeymoon even more memorable, and the cherry on top was when they surprised me with a birthday celebration during our stay!
The delicious cake, lovely decor, and warm wishes from the team made me feel so loved. We enjoyed relaxing on the beach, rejuvenating at the spa, and savoring exquisite meals at the hotel's restaurant. Tekoma Constance Hotel is a perfect haven for couples seeking a romantic getaway. I'm so grateful for the wonderful memories we created there!
