Really does it get any better than this? This luxurious Mauritius resort has to be one of the most friendly and agreeable of the bunch. On arrival you are greeted by a veritable battalion of staff ready to whisk away your bags and usher you into your subtly opulent temporary home. This incomparable standard of service continues throughout your stay, as the resort boats some five hundred staff members servicing fewer than two hundred guest rooms. The decor, inspired by early twentieth century plantation houses, is Colonial in style, with mahogany furnishings and four-poster beds, minimalism is not a concept that applies, but that’s just as well as there’s only so much chrome and white one can tolerate. The onsite Sanctuary Spa is world class offers an array of skincare treatments and massages as well as custom-made spa packages. Feeling indulgent? Opt for the La Prairie caviar body treatment. After you’ve been sunned and soothed head to the restaurant for some superb French cooking, that makes the most of fresh local ingredients. You’ll never want to leave.
