One and Only Le Saint Geran - Affordable Luxury

When this resort was built nearly 40 years ago, they had the pick of the island for the location. And this is where they chose to put their “piece of heaven”! Nestled peacefully on its own private peninsula, on the coast of Mauritius, fringed by over 1 mile of white sandy beaches, lies the incomparable and distinguished, Le St Géran. Terraced and balconied rooms all face out privately to the Indian Ocean. Under the calm sway of countless coconut palms, 60 acres of grounds take in tropical gardens, poolside and ocean dining. With immaculate health and beauty treatments, golf, tennis and water sports, here is a place that always fulfils the promise of its timeless reputation. One&Only Le Saint Géran is north facing basking on the golden peninsula of Belle Mare on the island’s northeast coast, surrounded by 60 acres of tropical gardens and thousands of swaying coconut trees. Immortalized in Bernadin de Saint Pierre’s novel ‘Paul et Virginie’, the peninsula is near the site of Le Saint Géran shipwreck. One hour from the airport, 40 minutes from the capital Port Louis and 20 minutes from Le Touessrok. Dining at Le Saint Géran is a holiday experience of its own! Be sure to try out Rasoi by Vaneet. This exceptional tropical waterside restaurant features the multi-award winning contemporary Indian cuisine of Vineet Bhatia.

Other restaurants include the La Terrasse and Prime.
