TAMASSA
TAMASSA is pleased to announce the completion of extensive coastal improvement works resulting in a safe natural swimming area in the lagoon at Tamassa, and the rehabilitation of the beach into a signature cove.
The Bel Ombre lagoon is almost 600 m wide at Tamassa and a unique marine ecosystem, one of the most untouched and diverse in Mauritius. Its varied depth and natural conditions favour high diversity among coral (over 25 species), and countless species of colourful creatures. It is all within easy and safe reach for keen snorkelers, right outside the newly created swimming area in front of our resort, and particularly adapted to drift snorkelling.
The new natural pool, created by native rock breakwaters, is 40 metres wide by 100 metres long, has a separate child-friendly dipping pool and provides a safe swimming experience for our guests, whilst allowing friendly marine life to mingle freely with the swimmers, and easy access into the lagoon beyond for a fabulous snorkelling experience. The new configuration has allowed for a wider, naturally formed beach of soft, springy sand which is, without a doubt, the best in the Bel Ombre area.
The works were executed by Coastal Specialists Ltd. – a company recognized for its proven and innovative coastal design, research in Marine Biology, Marine Ecology, coastal dynamics and coastal processes. It is directed by Mr. Rajiv Bheeroo, a scientist with a flawless reputation in enhancing coastal and near shore environment whilst protecting, propagating and conserving the ecosystem. He has a great passion for the marine environment of Mauritius.
Safe for all, considerate to the marine landscape and ecosystem and absolutely beautiful - we are delighted with the results of this project and are looking forward to sharing it with all our guests at Tamassa!
