One&Only Le Saint Geran Hotel

At One&Only Le Saint Géran, Mauritian influences reign supreme. Originally opened in 1975 and remodeled in 1999, the resort’s relaxed and discreet luxury is complemented by service that is attentive, yet unobtrusive. Here, terraced and balconied rooms all face out privately to the Indian Ocean. Under the calm sway of thousands of coconut palms, immaculate gardens run down to the edge of the coral-sand beach, which seamlessly wraps the peninsula for over a mile.

The sheltered lagoon provides calm waters for an array of water sports accessible within steps and idyllic for adults and children alike. Deft skills dispense sublime calm and confidence at the spa, a discreet sanctuary with its own private lap pool. The lush Gary Player 9-hole golf course situated in the resort's grounds has its own Golf Academy and clubhouse.

Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden With over 8,000 specimens of 800 different species of palms and plants encompassing 37 hectares, the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden is well worth a visit.

L’Aventure du Sucre Discover the fascinating role of Mauritius’ sugar cane history on the island at this interactive exhibition located in the centre of a restored factory.

Chamarel An interesting geological attraction, commonly referred to as Seven Coloured Earth, Chamarel features an undulating ground of varied coloured sand, swirled with patches of blue, green, red, purple and yellow earth, apparently caused by the weathering of volcanic rocks. The nearby Chamarel waterfall emerges from the moors and primeval vegetation and is startlingly beautiful.
