Le Saint Géran

Top choice in Mauritius


Le Saint Géran is classic Mauritian luxury at its finest. And the clientele seems to agree. The resort sees more repeat customers than most top-end hotels on the island, the guest list a veritable who's who of movie stars and celebrities. Spacious rooms, under the signature bright-blue roofs, are arranged along the seemingly endless oceanfront – everyone has a to-die-for view.

Water sports are plenty, there's a charming kids' club, and the top-notch butler service caters to every request. Le Saint Géran has set the bar unmatchably high in the dining category as well. Of its numerous restaurants, world-class Indian Pavilion is the pick. The golf course here, too, is world-class; it was designed by Gary Player.
