ONE&ONLY LE
SAINT GERAN
L
eaving Dubai, we headed to Mauritius
to sample the delights of the acclaimed
One&Only St Geran, another firm favourite
with royalty and celebrities, which nestles
peacefully in the silver white sands of its
own private peninsula. Under the sway of hundreds
of coconut palms, tropical flower filled gardens run
right down to the edge of a pristine pure white coralsand
beach.
This exclusive Mauritian hideaway is a
wonderland for all manner of water sports with
beaches, coves and reefs famed for kiteboarding,
water-skiing and scuba diving. Ideal for couples and
families alike, guests enjoy incomparable hospitality,
the One&Only Spa, world-class golf, KidsOnly
programmes and exceptional cuisine.
The resort features luxurious suites with ocean
views, but if you can, book their two-bedroom Ocean
Front Villa Residence complete with its own pool.
Here you can enjoy your stay in discreet luxury, with
all mod cons, and your own host on hand 24-hours a
day, supported by a team of valets and private chef.
The villa is hidden in a peaceful corner on the
St Geran estate – yet still within just a few minutes
beach front walk to all of the resort’s amenities. It
boasts clear views of the Indian Ocean beyond the
swimming pool and terrace, a master bedroom
with magnificent four-poster king-size bed, and
the second bedroom features two queen-size beds.
Each of the two bathrooms has cascading shower
and whirlpool bath, plus a fully-fitted kitchen and
spacious living/dining room equipped with premium
quality china, crystal and silverware - ideal for
entertaining a small group or for a private romantic
dinner.
In terms of dining, you’re spoilt for choice, with
The Terrace, next to the pool, serving a fantastically
fresh luxury seafood buffet, the chic PRIME
Contemporary Grill offering delights including
Australian Angus Wagyu beef, fresh seafood and
organic produce and the Indian Pavilion located
along the water’s edge, enjoying a magnificent
natural setting, with views of the green sugarcaneclad
mountains and the private lagoon. The open
kitchen there enables guests to be part of the
creative cooking experience, as the whole dining
area is infused with the most mouth-watering
aromas of Indian spices and herbs
The spa at St Geran is a wonderfully peaceful
hideway, with its own private lap pool and views
across the lagoon, and also features a very good hair
and beauty salons plus an acclaimed and exclusive
Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez.
Coupling the chic, cosmopolitan allure of Dubai
with the luxurious laid-back beach vibe of Mauritius
proved a most definite success and is highly
recommended.
