One&Only Le Saint Géran is set on beautiful Belle Mare peninsula with more than a mile of white sandy beach fronting 60 acres of lush vegetation and gently swaying coconut palms. The chic resort provides a relaxed and private retreat where the focus on first-rate service and exceptional food make it a holiday experience not to be missed. Being one of the few resorts in Mauritius that offers 24-hour personal butler service, guests’ needs are immediately handled. All suites feature private terraces or balconies facing the ocean or bay, as well as doors opening onto tropical gardens.
Food is a standout here and nothing compares to Spoon des Îles. This gourmet creation of famed French chef Alain Ducasse produces innovative meals – some of the best in the Indian Ocean. For an after-dinner cocktail, the pool bar is a hot spot for sipping liqueur or wine during the evening entertainment.
The resort features a Gary Player designed 9-hole golf course in addition to a huge array of water and land activities to fill the day. Le Saint Géran’s Spa is one of the largest in Mauritius, and serves as a pleasurable respite.
Or, a day spent spread out along the beach, enjoying a dip in the lovely water, is further enhanced by terrific beachside service – cocktails, and relaxation, are never far away.
