You will have the choice to dine inside among the pillars, or outside under the stars where you can choose from a menu of European, Oriental and Creole dishes. You will also have a choice of eating at the Lagoon Pool Restaurant overlooking the ocean, or at the bar during the day for a light snack.

In the evening you may choose to continue to relax and unwind or head over to the bar for some live entertainment by small groups of talented local professional musicians.

The resort does all it can to maintain a good relationship with the surrounding communities by employing staff locally and using when possible locally sourced foods.

In our opinion this is somewhere to stay if absolute tranquillity and luxury is what you are seeking. The staff at this hotel are exceptional in every way, and will go to any lengths to help you giving you a personalised service that is far above and beyond that of a 5 star hotel. The food here is simply divine and guests are encouraged to sample the local Mauritian food as it is fantastic. Although the hotel offers live entertainment this does not intrude in anyway on the tranquillity of the bar and its magnificent views over the Indian Ocean.

This resort really has so much to offer, if it is a honeymoon or a relaxing break you are looking to book, this really is the place to stay!
