TRAVEL<br />

ONE&ONLY LE<br />

SAINT GERAN<br />

L<br />

eaving Dubai, we headed to Mauritius<br />

to sample the delights of the acclaimed<br />

One&Only St Geran, another firm favourite<br />

with royalty and celebrities, which nestles<br />

peacefully in the silver white sands of its<br />

own private peninsula. Under the sway of hundreds<br />

of coconut palms, tropical flower filled gardens run<br />

right down to the edge of a pristine pure white coralsand<br />

beach.<br />

This exclusive Mauritian hideaway is a<br />

wonderland for all manner of water sports with<br />

beaches, coves and reefs famed for kiteboarding,<br />

water-skiing and scuba diving. Ideal for couples and<br />

families alike, guests enjoy incomparable hospitality,<br />

the One&Only Spa, world-class golf, KidsOnly<br />

programmes and exceptional cuisine.<br />

The resort features luxurious suites with ocean<br />

views, but if you can, book their two-bedroom Ocean<br />

Front Villa Residence complete with its own pool.<br />

Here you can enjoy your stay in discreet luxury, with<br />

all mod cons, and your own host on hand 24-hours a<br />

day, supported by a team of valets and private chef.<br />

The villa is hidden in a peaceful corner on the<br />

St Geran estate – yet still within just a few minutes<br />

beach front walk to all of the resort’s amenities. It<br />

boasts clear views of the Indian Ocean beyond the<br />

swimming pool and terrace, a master bedroom<br />

with magnificent four-poster king-size bed, and<br />

the second bedroom features two queen-size beds.<br />

Each of the two bathrooms has cascading shower<br />

and whirlpool bath, plus a fully-fitted kitchen and<br />

spacious living/dining room equipped with premium<br />

quality china, crystal and silverware - ideal for<br />

entertaining a small group or for a private romantic<br />

dinner.<br />

In terms of dining, you’re spoilt for choice, with<br />

The Terrace, next to the pool, serving a fantastically<br />

fresh luxury seafood buffet, the chic PRIME<br />

Contemporary Grill offering delights including<br />

Australian Angus Wagyu beef, fresh seafood and<br />

organic produce and the Indian Pavilion located<br />

along the water’s edge, enjoying a magnificent<br />

natural setting, with views of the green sugarcaneclad<br />

mountains and the private lagoon. The open<br />

kitchen there enables guests to be part of the<br />

creative cooking experience, as the whole dining<br />

area is infused with the most mouth-watering<br />

aromas of Indian spices and herbs<br />

The spa at St Geran is a wonderfully peaceful<br />

hideway, with its own private lap pool and views<br />

across the lagoon, and also features a very good hair<br />

and beauty salons plus an acclaimed and exclusive<br />

Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez.<br />

Coupling the chic, cosmopolitan allure of Dubai<br />

with the luxurious laid-back beach vibe of Mauritius<br />

proved a most definite success and is highly<br />

recommended.<br />
