Rezidor Hotel Group (RHG) has announced that its luxury lifestyle brand, Hotel Missioni, is to open a new 80-suite property overlooking the Indian Ocean in Mauritius in 2014.

The hotel will be owned by Bouigue Développement and will include the brand's signature dining concept, Cucina; a Choco Café; a fitness area; and a 900sq m (9,688sq ft) spa.

Hotel Missoni Mauritius, which will join the brand's existing properties in Edinburgh, UK, and Kuwait, will also offer access to a 650m (2,133ft) beach and outdoor swimming pools.

Each of the hotel's suites will incorporate Missoni's signature patterns and fabrics, as well as a large covered outdoor living area known as a Varangue in Mauritius.

RHG president and chief executive officer Kurt Ritter said: "Combining Missoni's iconic design with the local culture influenced by Europe, Africa and Asia, the hotel will be truly unique in Mauritius."

Bouigue Développement executive chair Gilles Bouigue added: "[The new hotel] will surely be a great success and a new flagship premium quality hotel of the tourism industry in Mauritius."
