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 />
