A hotel in harmony with its island

The Mauritian architect Jean-Marc Eynaud designed an architecture which blends with the surroundings, playing with space and elements like the ocean and tropical vegetation. Local materials such as wood, lava stone and thatch are used, combined with the brilliance of marble and granite. Outward-looking, large windows allow air to circulate. Ponds, fountains and lava sculptures adorn beautifully the gardens.

The 17 villas and 44 suites are spread over 14 hectares of tropical garden and are all facing the Indian Ocean. The direct access to the beach is perfect for beautiful morning walks. The design is contemporary luxury (plasma TV, air conditioning, music selector, coffee ...) with a Mauritian influence, a mixture of cultures, Creole, Asian and African: Japanese sliding panels, Creole ceiling fan,  Indian furniture...

We recommend the suites upstairs, the wide balcony offering a perfect panorama to admire the sunsets over the bay. To have a fully exclusive stay, choose one of the sumptuous villas with private pool. A little further away from shore and overlooking the rocky coast, they promise a magical and serene stay.
