Tamassa means ‘party’ in Creole, and we live up to our name at our resort nightclub – the very first to open in the south of the island.
For those eager to continue the party into the early hours, Jalsa is the perfect spot for socialising, enjoying a drink with friends or dancing the night away.
Dear friends,
After months of physically distancing, I'm sure, like me, you're dreaming of returning to your favourite destination. Looking back now, especially as we live through the strangest time of our lives, what I think about the most is how we as a team - and really, as a family - have been able to stay socially connected, supportive and hopeful. That includes guests and team members supporting each other in every way we can imagine. The greatest gift we can share right now is one of friendship, kindness and optimism. We received so many heart-warming letters from guests from all over the world, showing their care and expressing their wish to return as soon as they are able, and it's been nothing short of encouraging and uplifting for the team's motivation. As we take steps towards recovery and planning where to go next, we probably have many questions on our minds on how safe it is to be travelling and the proper precautions we need to take before embarking on our next voyage. I would like to assure you that the comfort, safety and wellness of our extended family remain our utmost priority. To ensure you are holidaying with peace of mind, we offer a flexible rebooking and cancellation policy as follows:
We have also made some service adjustments in consultation with SGS, the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, in addition to the precautionary measures recommended by the World Health Organisation.
The teams of LUX* Resorts & Hotels, SALT Resorts and Tamassa Resorts understand the courage it takes for the brave people to fight on the frontline. Our teams have banded together to provide support to their local communities. In Mauritius, SALT of Palmar produced 500 reuseable face masks for the villagers and police in Belle Mare; LUX* Belle Mare Resort & Villas, LUX* Grand Gaube Resort & Villas and LUX* Le Morne Resort baked over a thousand cupcakes to thank the first responders for their selfless service rendered during the country's confinement; and the team at Tamassa put together care packs consisting of daily necessities and dry goods for the underprivileged. Over in Yunnan, China, LUX* Tea Horse Road Benzilan has been doing their part to care for the environment by picking up trash along nature trails and hiking routes, in addition to cleaning and volunteering their services in the revered Tibetan Buddhist temples in Shangri-La.
This unprecedented situation has taught us how fragile freedom is and travelling as we know it will now change irrevocably,
but it will bounce back. We eagerly await your return. Meanwhile, stay safe and stay in touch.
Sincerely always,
Paul Jones
Chief Executive Officer
