Beach-side spa treatment under an Alice Temperley-designed tipi at Le Saint Geran
Where... Le Saint Geran, Mauritius
I knew I'd arrived when... "I was led outside via the hotel's dramatic cavernous main hallway, and an incomparable view of creamy sand and gentle turquoise spilled out in front of me. Le Saint Geran is set on a stunning peninsula - walk to its sandy tip and you can almost convince yourself you are walking on water - and what a dreamy beach it has, punctuated so perfectly by swaying coconut palms, discreet waiters bearing iced water and luxuriantly sized hammocks. There's a real sense of warmth here, thanks to the long-serving staff, who treat the place and the guests with real affection. Mature gardens and homely comforts meld seamlessly with the new at the Saint Geran. The fitness studio is a glossy temple to toning and firming with a full Kinesis and Wellness System of apparatus. The one-on-one assisted stretching session is a must, plus there's an 18m lap pool for those wishing to work out without collision.
The treatment highlight... Le Saint Geran is one of the few places in the world you can experience a Bastien Gonzales medical pedicure with a Bastien trained chiropodist. The result is astonishing, and where better to flaunt butter-smooth, preened feet than on holiday?
Don't forget to pack... A snorkel mask - you can always borrow, but with fish this glorious just a short swim away, a perfectly-snug mask just right for you will be a real asset.
Try this... Book a spa treatment on the beach in the hotel's glorious cream silk cotton tipi designed by Alice Temperley, which twinkles with jewels and mirrored glass.
Avoid this... Dinner on the beach unless fully shielded with insect repellent. KG
