One&Only Le Saint Géran

Our verdict

Le Saint Géran is the resort we suggest when the budget allows the best, and when space, service and a sense of occasion matter as much as the beach. It has stood on its own private peninsula on the east coast since 1975, between the ocean and a calm lagoon, with almost 2 km of beach, and was renovated from top to bottom in 2017. There are about 140 rooms and suites, and even the entry-level rooms are 60 to 65 m² and take four, so a family of four fits in one room. Children under 12 stay free in their parents' room outside the festive season, and there are clubs for children and teenagers. Dinner is at La Terrasse, Tapasake over the water, PRIME's grill or RIVA's Italian beach club, and the spa is the island's only Guerlain spa. The trade-offs: it's the most expensive resort we sell in Mauritius, half board is a dinner supplement priced in euros, the east coast is breezier in winter, and the festive season carries steep extra charges. Against Royal Palm Beachcomber, the island's other classic five-star: choose Le Saint Géran for a whole peninsula, bigger standard rooms and children under 12 free. Choose Royal Palm for 68 suites, more staff per guest, golf at Mont Choisy and calmer water on the north-west coast.

Best for

• a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon or anniversary
• families of four in one room: every room is 60 m² or more and sleeps four
• children under 12 free in the parents' room (outside the festive season)
• a private peninsula with an ocean beach and a calm lagoon
• serious dining and the Guerlain spa

At a glance

Which room to book

• Couples: a Sunset Room (60 to 65 m²) looks over the lagoon and the mountains; an Ocean Room or Beachfront Room (60 to 65 m²) faces the sea. All have a terrace or balcony and a dressing room.
• Honeymoon: a Beachfront Junior Suite (130 m², separate lounge, a beach cabana of your own) or a Beachfront Suite (150 m², separate bedroom). Suite guests have butler service.
• Family of four: any of the rooms takes four, with one king bed or two queen beds; the Sunset Room adds a sofa bed. Children under 12 stay free outside the festive season.
• Family of five or six: two interconnecting rooms, or a suite with an interconnecting room. The resort has two- and three-bedroom suite combinations for families.
• The ultimate: Villa One, a two-bedroom beachfront villa with a private infinity pool and its own butler, chef and staff.

Children

• KidsOnly: One&Only's club for children, at Club One, with art, sport, nature adventures and movie nights. The resort lists it among its family activities; we confirm the ages and hours for your dates.
• One Tribe: the teenagers' club, with chill-out areas, DJ evenings and barbecues.
• Free stays: children under 12 stay free in the parents' room all year except 21 December 2026 to 9 January 2027. Under 4s are free, cot included.
• Dining: half board for children aged 4 to 11 costs EUR 40 or 60 a day depending on the season; under 4s eat free.
• Water: the lagoon side of the peninsula is calm, and the boathouse runs kayaking and paddleboard trips through the mangroves.
• Rooms: every room sleeps four, so most families need only one.

Meal plans

Le Saint Géran is sold on bed and breakfast, with half board as a supplement. The resort doesn't publish an all-inclusive.

Half board gives you dinner every night at La Terrasse, or a dinner credit at Tapasake, PRIME or RIVA. In 2026 the supplement is EUR 115 per adult per day, EUR 40 to 60 per child aged 4 to 11, and free for under 4s. Drinks are extra. It has to be booked for the whole stay.

The festive season: from 21 December 2026 to 9 January 2027, children under 12 pay EUR 200 a night, and the Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve gala dinners are compulsory, at EUR 300 and EUR 530 per adult.

Also extra: a tourist tax of EUR 3 per person per night from age 12, and late check-out.

What we'd do: book half board. It covers dinner every night, lets you try all four restaurants, and we price it in rand in one figure with your flights and transfers.

Restaurants

• La Terrasse: the main restaurant, with open kitchen stations of Mauritian and international food, and open-air pavilions over water features.
• Tapasake: the signature restaurant, built out over the lagoon, with Japanese food and Mediterranean influences: sushi and flame-grilled tapas.
• PRIME: a steakhouse and grill for Australian beef and Mauritian seafood, with a terrace and wine pairings.
• RIVA: an Italian Riviera-style beach and pool club, with antipasti, pasta and grilled fish, and private cabanas.
• Le Badamier: Mauritian lunches under an old badamier tree on the water's edge (12:00 to 15:30), with street food, rum cocktails and a DJ at sunset (bar 10:00 to 19:00). All ages welcome.

For a special night, the resort arranges private dinners on the beach and in a tipi. Room service runs around the clock.

Honest downsides

• The price. It's the most expensive resort we sell in Mauritius, and the euro-priced extras (half board, drinks, gala dinners) add up.
• The festive season. Children under 12 pay, extra guests over 12 pay EUR 200 a night, and two gala dinners are compulsory.
• No published all-inclusive. Bed and breakfast or half board, with drinks extra.
• The east coast in winter. From about June to September the trade winds make it breezier than the west coast. The peninsula's lagoon side stays calmer.
• About an hour from the airport, and a long way from Grand Baie.
• Kids' club details aren't published. We confirm ages and hours before you book.
