MAY 8, 2006. Naiade Resorts, whose hotels and spas are ideally positioned on the idyllic coastlines of Mauritius, the Maldives and the Seychelles, are celebrating a successful year after total revenue for 2005 topped at lb29 million (Rs1,580 million).

Naiade Resorts has consistently built upon its existing success. Last year, the group's profit, lb6 million (Rs 339 million), was a phenomenal 14% increase on 2004. The beginning of 2006 has also shown a good start, where tourist arrivals in Mauritius in January and February were 18% and 15% higher than corresponding months the previous year.

The idyllic White Sands Resort & Spa in the Maldives, acquired by Naiade Resorts in November 2005, is expected to be one of the best performing hotels within the portfolio after it is fully extended and redeveloped. There are also great expectations for Desroches Island Resort in the Seychelles, once a further 56 rooms are built.

THE RESORTS

The five star Beau Rivage resort is located on the stunning eastern coast of Mauritius, where guests stay in sea facing thatched-roof villas and unwind at the magnificent Aphrodite Spa. The General Manager, Regis Catoire, started in April 2006 and will continue to establish Beau Rivage as one of Mauritius' leading hotels.

Merville Beach has a truly cosmopolitan ambiance. Adventurous guests can go deep sea fishing, whilst the more sedate guests can bask under the sun and enjoy catamaran cruises around the tropical coastline. This 3* Superior Resort is 10 minutes walking distance from Grand Baie, Mauritius' 'local' Riviera.

Legends hotel is based upon the principles of Feng Shui, with each room, suite and villa is designed according to one of its core elements. The lavish presidential suite is the cr`eme de la cr`eme of accommodation while the Source Spa is the ultimate in pampering. Since this year, 4* de Luxe Legends offers a Prestige All Inclusive option to guests.

Les Pavillons, consisting of a series of colonial-style villas, sits on the edge of the turquoise lagoon of Le Morne Peninsula. It boasts a fresh water swimming pool overlooking the lagoon and a whole host of exotic bars and restaurants to enjoy in the evening. Deep sea fishing fans or kite surfers cannot find a better location when holidaying in Mauritius.

Le Tropical is renowned for its couple's orientation, with comfy, air-conditioned rooms overlooking the sea. Le Cocotier offers food to suit all tastes, from Chinese, Indian, Creole to European while the bar, Le Canne a Sucre, creates exotic cocktails to be enjoyed on the swimming pool terrace. This 3* property is a lead price in its category on the island, offering great All Inclusive prices.

Ile des Deux Cocos is the definitive retreat: an entire tropical island and villa, stooped in bohemian history, for the sole use of the guest. An entire hospitality team are at guest's beck and call and Arabian, Folly and Indian themed evenings highlight the fusion of cultures found here. Naiade Resorts can organise varied functions there, from weddings to private parties or product launches.

Desroches Island is known as the best spot for diving in the Seychelles and listed among the 14 top diving sites on the planet, with 14 km of private secluded tropical beaches. This luxury 'boutique' Resort is an 'eco friendly hideaway' at its best, with 20 luxury suites surrounded by lush vegetation.

Guests at White Sands Resorts & Spa in the Maldives can either stay in authentic Maldivian houseboats on stilts over the turquoise waters or in quaint thatched cottages nestled in lush gardens. The resort offers unique honeymoon and wedding facilities as well as a spoiling Coconut Spa. Euro Divers operates in this 4* resort, which is known to be surrounded by the prime diving spots that the destination promotes.
