One & Only Le Saint Geran, Belle Mare, Mauritius

A paradise within a paradise, this gorgeous six-star hotel is the ultimate indulgence. Set beside a sparkling, pristine beach on the edge of the Indian Ocean, on a 60 acre private peninsula, it is the epitome of relaxation, luxury, gastronomy, and enjoyment. Newly redesigned with supreme elegance, One&Only Le Saint Géran embraces the multi-ethnic cuisine of the Alain Ducasse "Spoon des Iles" gourmet restaurant, the languorous pampering of a Givenchy Health and Beauty Spa; a challenging Gary Player designed golf course and the excitement of its own casino. And naturally, the luxury villa and 162 suites are pure bliss.

Exquisite taste and grand opulence seamlessly blend state-of-the-art technology within One&Only Le Saint Géran's 175 rooms and suites. The outsize beds are covered with Egyptian cotton sheets, piled high with goose down pillows. Every piece of hand selected furniture along with the artful blending of the colours of Indian Ocean spices contribute to the rooms' gentle ambience. Panoramic picture windows seem to magically bring the azure sea and lagoon close enough to touch. Huge fully fitted tubs and showers invite you to linger amidst mist-free mirrors, aromatherapy oils and exotic bath salts.

Facilities include the Givenchy Spa, gymnasium, golf, tennis, Aerobics Yoga, Beach volleyball, water-skiing bocciball, windsurfing, pedalos, sailing, water polo, snorkelling and glass bottom boat trips.
