Part of Starwood's Luxury Collection, this resort is a refined and
elegant addition to Mauritius. A combination of sophistication and
laid-back style make this a fantastic property from which to be
based. Two large pools offer ample room for sunbathing and
lounging, whilst the small beach has small, intimate areas with
hammocks and sunloungers. Land recreation facilities include a
state-of-the-art fitness centre, two tennis courts, a Mandara spa
and, for children, the Explorers Club. In addition, extensive work
has recently been done on the beach area, which now boasts 700
metres of white sand beach.
Exterior: The property is comprised of 15 thatched villas situated
over 20 acres, housing a combination of 193 rooms. Much of the
property has been built with hardwood timber and the decor is muted
and natural. Two large swimming pools are situated on either side
of the resort.
Lobby: The lobby is large and expansive with ample seating area
overlooking the pool and beach. The lobby bar is off to one side
and offers guests an area to sit and unwind, whilst small boutiques
line the corridor that lead out to one side of the resort.
Rooms
Each of the 15 villas has been designed to embrace the beauty of
the resort's spectacular beachfront setting. The landscaping,
various water-based features and the sheer beauty of the Indian
Ocean work their way into the simple yet sophisticated
décor. All rooms offer breathtaking sea views. All of the
rooms and suites have a classic feel, though a modern aesthetic
weaves its way in and out of the tastefully appointed spaces. The
accommodation comes with thoughtful amenities, such as flat-screen
televisions and Luxury Collection beds. A palette of soft, muted
colours that includes taupe, ivory, and duck-egg blue adds a sense
of serene elegance to the rooms. Spacious and airy marble bathrooms
and dressing areas open up onto a generous bedroom and patio area,
providing the ideal spot from which to admire the natural reef and
gentle waves pulsing below.
Restaurant & Food
There are three restaurants on-site, the main restaurant located
just off the lobby serves breakfast, lunch and the included
half-board dinner. Dinner is either a three-course menu or buffet,
depending on the evening. An Italian speciality restaurant is
located near one of the pools and is open for both lunch and
dinner. Lastly, a casual lunch option is located near the other
swimming pool.
