One&Only

One&Only Le Saint Géran feels less like a conventional beach resort and more like a storied private peninsula estate on Mauritius’s east coast, embraced at once by the Indian Ocean and a მშვიდ lagoon. Set on its own secluded stretch of land, with twin shorelines, white-sand beaches, and expansive tropical gardens, it has long held its place as one of the island’s most iconic luxury addresses. Following an extensive renovation in 2017, the resort shifted from the mood of a classic society hideaway to something lighter, more open, and distinctly contemporary in its expression of island luxury. Today, it offers 142 guestrooms and suites, along with the singular Villa One, with most accommodations opening toward the lagoon, the ocean, or the beach, and using generous terraces and a stronger indoor-outdoor connection to draw in the peninsula’s sea breeze, sunlight, and luminous water views. From a design standpoint, the reimagined guestrooms were redesigned by South African studio DSGN, while the spa was conceived by Susurrus and the landscape by MAAT Handasa, giving the property a cleaner architectural language, more natural materiality, and a looser, more modern sense of scale that moves well beyond a traditional colonial-style island retreat.

The dining scene is equally well developed, unfolding across a series of venues that stay closely tied to the setting and the rhythm of resort life: the waterfront all-day restaurant La Terrasse, the overwater Japanese restaurant Tapasake, the steak-led Prime, the beachfront La Pointe, and RIVA, which brings the mood of an Italian beach club to Mauritius. The addition of the Guerlain Spa has further sharpened the resort’s identity, introducing the house’s distinctly French approach to beauty and wellness into a setting shaped by tropical nature and ocean light. What makes this resort so compelling is not simply its reputation or pedigree, but the way it distills Mauritius’s most iconic peninsula scenery, historic stature, and renewed design sensibility into an island escape that feels both timeless and unmistakably current.

The Residence & Spa is an intimate sanctuary for those who wish to luxuriate in absolute comfort.

The intimate gardens, pool and private beach offer a sheltered refuge, where pampering is the predominant indulgence.

Guests staying for three nights or more benefit from a complimentary Aquaventure Waterpark at the nearby Atlantis The Palm, once per stay.
