Overview
Get a taste of how the other half live at this luxurious resort on the island of Mauritius. The award-winning One&Only Le Saint Géran is on a private peninsula, with a white-sand beach surrounded by warm turquoise water. Guests are treated to complimentary extras including welcome cocktails, a 24-hour personal butler service, green fees and bike hire.
The 60 acres of grounds are meticulously kept and the service is attentive. Not only will your butler help you with unpacking, there are staff on hand to clean sunglasses and bring cold towels and drinks by the infinity pool. Wi-Fi is complimentary throughout, including on the beach, and there are plenty of hammocks strung between palm trees.
There are plenty of free activities -- try a guided kayak tour in the lagoon, snorkelling, water skiing, paddle boarding, wakeboarding and glass-bottom boat trips to the reef. For those who want to explore further afield, the island's capital Port Louis makes a pleasant day trip, while one of the world's oldest botanical gardens is a 30-minute drive from the hotel. A hire car is recommended.
If that sounds too much like hard work, stop at the spa. Vogue recommends the Bastien Gonzalez pedicure and there is a tipi on the beach for treatments. There is also a junior spa for younger guests. Children are well catered for throughout the hotel, with a kids' club, special menus, and child-size dressing gowns and slippers in the rooms. The water is shallow near the beach and perfect for paddling.
In the evenings, there are three restaurants to choose from. La Terrasse puts on a lavish buffet with local and European cuisine. Breakfast is served here too. PRIME serves Australian Angus Wagyu beef and seafood, and is open for dinner Tuesday-Sunday. Or, try the Indian Pavilion overlooking the lagoon and serving modern Indian cuisine such as tandoori lobster, paneer wrapped in banana leaf and marinated prawns with cashew nut sauce. Private dining on the beach or balcony can also be arranged.
The rooms are spacious and light. Every room has a balcony with ocean views, plus an espresso machine, welcome Mauritian rum, daily fresh fruit and a choice of room scent each evening at turndown.
