This is the grande dame of Mauritius resorts, with an illustrious history going back to 1975. It was the island’s very first luxury resort, and one that still sets standards many others can only dream of achieving. Its location is simply staggering; a private peninsula between a gorgeous, sheltered lagoon and the blissfully warm Indian Ocean, surrounded by fabulous coral reefs and clear waters. Here’s why this resort is the perfect destination for one-of-a-kind adventures.
Blissfully private accommodation
This ultra-luxury resort has just 142 rooms and suites, and one secluded two-bedroom villa – all of which have been cleverly designed to bring the great outdoors in through seamless indoor–outdoor flooring and island-inspired colour palettes. Its suites come with personalised 24-hour butler service, while the villa has a dedicated butler and private chef service, along with a pool and direct beach access.
Five-star dining
This resort’s dining options are quite simply irresistible. We particularly love feet-in-the-sand La Pointe for its daily catch grilled over firewood, Prime for its Australian Angus and Wagyu steaks, fresh seafood, and local produce, and the lagoon venue Tapasake with its overwater seating and fusion of Japanese flavours with Spanish tapas.
There’s private romantic dining on the jetty or beach, and for sociable moments you can head to the open-air lounge surrounding the central infinity pool, with live music evenings and dancing over illuminated water features.
Craft the perfect day
The resort has no fewer than three sparkling infinity pools – one family, one adults-only, and one in the spa – plus private beaches and the Boathouse with everything you need for water sports fun on the lagoon.
Fancy heading outside the resort? You can climb waterfalls and search for rare wildlife with an eco-ranger, or you can take a helicopter ride to see the surrounding Mauritian islands from the sky. Back at the resort, join in with cookery and mixology classes. For older children 13-17 years old, One Tribe hosts the likes of treasure hunts, table tennis tournaments, five-a-side football, snorkelling trips, barbecues, bonfires, and karaoke.
