56 ESCAPE TO The estate is built around the picturesque 18-hole championship Heritage Golf Club, ranked among the Top 10 Courses in Africa by CNN and voted Indian Ocean’s Best Golf Course at the prestigious World Golf Awards last year. The club will be hosting The AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open between 7 – 10 May 2015, which is expected to attract top golfers from the European, Asian and Sunshine Tours, since the €1 million prize fund is the highest ever purse for a tournament in Mauritius – plus the added bonus of one million USD for shooting an Eagle on the 17th hole! The estate borders the private Fréderica Nature Reserve, which spans 3500 acres of untouched countryside and, at 500ft, has the highest waterfall on the island. One of the largest of its kind in Mauritius, it is a haven for lovers of magnificent landscapes. With spectacular views over the lagoon, C Beach Club is a destination in itself; a unique ‘lifestyle rendezvous’, it has achieved a reputation as the island’s sea, sand and sun experience par excellence. Adjacent to the Heritage Le Telfair, it provides food, leisure and entertainment facilities for all ages. There is a wide range of water activities, including scuba diving, wind/ kite surfing, sailing, water skiing, deep sea fishing, kayaking and even the opportunity to swim with dolphins. For land-based activities, there are several world-class golf courses, tennis, archery, zip-wire flying, hiking, hunting, trekking, rock climbing, horse riding, quad biking, cycling and mountain biking. Residents can then relax and rejuvenate at the Seven Colours Spa. A new phase of plots close to the C Beach Club was launched last year. Fifteen West borders the west side of the estate along the picturesque 14th and 15th (hence ‘Fifteen West’) fairways and are the last remaining golf frontage villas on the estate. The 32 individual plots vary in size and benefit from spectacular golf, sea, lake and mountain views. “Prices for villas at Fifteen West start at only $659, 000, which is exceptional value for a freehold home with golf fairway frontage, pool and landscaped garden
