Sunny Holidays

Once upon a golden Christmas at Constance Hotels and Resorts…

No, we do not have snow, no mulled wine, no mistletoe and not even mince pie or Christmas pudding for Christmas

But we have perfectly sun-drenched hotels and resorts in the Indian Ocean where the sun shines
at 25°C and 33°C and the sea is at its best!

Our guests are encouraged to breathe in the heat, sight and flavours
While we craft the most exquisite of Christmas wine pairing dinners!
