The St Regis

Set on one of Mauritius' most beautiful and protected sections of blond beach on the island's southwest coast. The gigantic rock, Le Morne Brabant, provides a spectacular background and a strenuous climb, and adjacent attractions include Black River Gorge National Park and a dolphin safari. Le Morne is also the greatest kitesurfing place on the island.

Guests are invited to choose a room in this old sugar baron's plantation mansion, which occupies a commanding position on Le Morne and offers lots of grandeur and genuinely remarkable service. Guests are privileged to have private access to one of the most beautiful stretches of sand in the vicinity, and the attentive staff organizes a variety of unique outings, such as a trip to Black River Gorge National Park and an incredible dolphin safari. Each room has been constructed to face the seaside and has wide picture windows that let in plenty of light and air.

Personable front-of-house workers with strong English abilities stand out from the crowd. You'll eventually want to take your St. Regis butler home with you. A luxury automobile can be used to pick you up at the airport. The ION Club Prestige, the island's first premium kite-surfing club, was established in this hotel. A private cinema is located adjacent to the enormous, well-stocked library for evenings. Exquisite experiences such as Morning Bliss, a couples ylang ylang massage in a beach cabana followed by health 'cleanse' or 'booster' breakfast for two, are available.
