Le Saint Geran is found at Pointe de Flacq at Belle Mare beach, a more secluded part of Mauritius that opens up onto the wider Indian ocean. This gives you the chance to go island hopping, sailing out for picnics at île aux Cerfs and île Plate, enjoying the clear azure water while spotting marine life.

Back on land, the staff will pamper you with gourmet meals, yoga, meditation and dance classes, and waterskiing or kitesurfing. Rooms are tranquil with subtle tones that let the turquoise sea, white sand and intense sunshine really sing. Children are as catered to as their parents with a kids’ clubhouse packed with fun activities and crafts. The spa has a sauna, steam room, hammam and nail bar.
