This beach hotel is one of the world's great resorts - the height of cool, modern elegance, imbued with the warmth of tropical Mauritius, truly one of the 'Leading Hotels of the World'. It lies on a beautiful stretch of sandy coast, looking out over the tranquil Trou d'Eau Douce Bay. Out in the lagoon are two beautiful islands, including Ile aux Cerfs with its spectacular 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Bernhard Langer. The centre of Trou d'Eau Douce is approximately 2 km from the resort.

There is a 'gastronomic theatre' serving nine different cuisines, classic tropical dining poolside, refined east-meets-west cuisine, and relaxed shoes-off eating on the resort islands. Light snacks and refreshing beverages are also served on the beach all day.
