Heaven Is A Place On Earth
From Montenegro to the Maldives, One&Only resorts are not so much holiday destinations as dream worlds in which to live out your escapist fantasies. Now, with Mauritius once again open to travellers, the iconic One&Only Le Saint Géran is welcoming guests for a delicious dose of winter sun.
THE RESORT
Located on its own private peninsula, surrounded by a calm Indian Ocean lagoon and colourful coral reefs, you’ll discover the resort nestled within lush tropical gardens that lead out to pristine stretches of pure white sand. A temple to ultra-luxury, One&Only Le Saint Géran’s breathtaking mix of classic colonial style and modern beachy glamour combines in a laidback yet luxurious temple to Mauritian lifestyle and culture.
THE SPA
Covering a blissful 1,000 square metres overlooking the lagoon, the One&Only Spa delivers heavenly indoor and open-air treatments. The spa is renowned for its tailored holistic experiences, ranging from deep relaxation therapies to signature wellness regimens, each treatment using indigenous ingredients and authentic Mauritian techniques to soothe away stress and reboot your inner glow.
THE CUISINE
The culinary offering at One&Only Le Saint Géran is second to none, with five tempting restaurants conjuring a mouthwatering diversity of cuisines, alongside unforgettable private dining experiences. Take your pick from the following eateries:
Farm-To-Fork Feast
PRIME, One&Only Le Saint Géran’s spectacular Mauritian grill serves the finest cuts of Angus and Wagyu beef, fresh local seafood and seasonal produce. Its impressive wine cellar features rare vintages from all over the world, with a focus on sustainable wines. Finish up with a glass or two from the wide selection of rum infusions, curated to honour the Mauritian history of rum distillation.
Asian-Fusion Gets The Tapas Treatment
Tapasake is home to incredible Pan-Asian plates. Here you can savour gastro-inspired cocktails, enjoy the theatre-style preparation of sushi, teppanyaki, batayaki and tandoor from the restaurant’s open kitchen, and share in the Spanish ‘tapas’ style of dining. Housed in a traditional thatched pavilion, the over-water restaurant offers unforgettable views of sugarcane-clad mountains and glowing Mauritian sunsets.
Seafood On The Sand
La Pointe beach restaurant can be found at Palm Grove, at the very tip of the peninsula. Dig your feet in the silver-white sands while savouring freshly caught seafood grilled over firewood and coconut for an authentic local flavour.
A Chef’s Showcase
La Terrasse restaurant celebrates the thrill of performance cooking, as chefs welcome guests into their kitchen, eager to interact as they create delicious Mauritian, Indian, Chinese and Mediterranean delicacies. Adding to the performance element, live music is enjoyed here nightly.
Under The Stars
Bespoke Private Dining is a must-have experience at One&Only Le Saint Géran, where the soft sandy beaches create a perfect romantic setting for a meal to remember.
THE EXPERIENCES
If you can tear yourself away from the dazzling beaches, turquoise sea waters or the spectacular pool, there’s plenty to do and discover both on and off-resort.
From Kids' Clubs To Kickboxing
Club One is the resort’s hub for all things active. Besides offering adventurous clubs for kids and tweens, it also boasts a state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor fitness centre, two paddle courts, three floodlit tennis courts, mini golf and football grounds. Break up lazy days with group classes, from spinning and zumba to kick boxing and HIIT, and return home not just well fed but fabulously fit too.
Wild In The Country
One&Only Le Saint Géran has partnered with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) to offer guests a Walk The Wild experience. Led by eco-rangers, you’ll venture through protected nature reserves, stunning waterfalls and spectacular gorges, while coming face to face with Mauritius’ indigenous flora and fauna.
Catch Of The Day
Equally exhilarating is the foodie adventure, One Bonfire, which begins with a morning of deep-sea fishing on board a 55-foot boat. Back on dry land, after a restorative spa visit, you’ll gather for a sunset celebration around the bonfire, to enjoy your own freshly grilled catches.
Take A Bite Out Of Life
For the truly adventurous, there’s the ocean adventure Meet The Sharks. You’ll ride out to sea on the resort’s luxury Legend 33 speedboat before swimming with up to 50 Grey Reef and White Tip sharks in crystal clear waters.
At One With Nature
Nature lovers will be thrilled by the Discover Real Mauritius experience, which offers travellers to chance to explore the natural wonders of the island by hiking off the beaten track deep in the wilderness, from the vast mountain ranges of Le Morne Brabant to the beautiful Tamarind Falls.
An Eco Adventure
Meanwhile, eco-enthusiasts will love the Secret Mangroves experience. Guests are guided through the mature mangroves of the resort’s lagoon by kayak or stand-up paddle to witness this breathtaking untouched ecosystem.
