One & Only Le Saint Geran
Poste de Flacq, Mauritius
Why we love it
Renowned as the ‘Grande Dame’ of Mauritian hotels, One & Only Le Saint Geran is nestled upon the north eastern coast of the island, and built around a sheltered lagoon, meaning the resort benefits from clear calm waters all year round. It is surrounded by white sand beaches as far as the eye can see and over 60 acres of meticulously kept gardens.
One & Only Le Saint Geran was the first luxury hotel to be built upon the whole island in 1975 and has recently been reopened after undergoing a multimillion dollar refurbishment, retaining its famous reputation as the best Mauritius has to offer. The iconic colonial-style architecture is seamlessly blended with new modern buildings which reflect the rich and varied histories of Mauritius’ sugar plantation past. With all 143 rooms, suites and lodges boasting a mesmerising ocean view, One & Only Le Saint Geran is re-defining the ultra-luxury Mauritian experience whilst retaining the complete exclusivity, outstanding service and unrivalled ocean views that it has always been famed for.
Brand new restaurants and inspired dining concepts means that there are options to suit all your culinary needs. Soak up the breath-taking lagoon atmosphere whilst feasting on pan Asian cuisine at the over water Tapasake restaurant, wiggle your toes in the seafront sand and sample the best seafood for miles, fresh off the grill at La Pointe. Then, when the sun goes down, grab an infamous Dodo cocktail off Oliver, the bar tender who has been there for 23 years, and dance the night away over illuminated water features accompanied by live music.
With two kilometres of pristine beach, three pools to choose from, ESPA spa, a state-of-the-art fitness suite and numerous water and beachside sports, One & Only Le Saint Geran is perfect whether you are looking for peaceful relaxation or adventurous activities. Unwind in an al fresco yoga class under the famous Mauritian sunset or try your hand at Padel Tennis in the first two courts on the whole island.

Mauritius is the best winter escape for the whole family. My family travelled as three generations and True Travel made sure it was seamless. From having our rooms next to each other, ensuring babysitters were confirmed and making restaurant reservations – their service was faultless.
