What sets it apart
The Wildwind Sailing Centre, based on the hotel’s beach, is its strongest argument: it is a training centre recognised by the British Royal Yachting Association. It offers dinghies, catamarans and paddle boards convertible to windsurf or Wind-SUP boards, with instructors for beginners and experienced sailors alike. Rooms come in two 24-square-metre categories, one over the garden, one facing the sea, with a balcony or terrace and up to two adults and two children.
The mood
Le Wahoo is the à la carte beach restaurant, facing the sea: Mauritian dishes, seafood platters and fresh lobster, open daily noon to 2.30 pm and 7.30 pm to 10 pm. Le Cotomili serves a full American breakfast and dines from 7.30 pm to 10 pm. La Canne à Sucre is the bar, open daily 8.30 am to 11.30 pm, cocktails, canapés and aperitifs. Case Ti Pima is the snack bar at the poolside, from noon to 6 pm. In the evening the hotel programmes local artists, Creole music, and themed nights for the national day or Divali.

Good to know
- If the pizzeria matters to your choice, have it confirmed when booking.
- Both categories are the same size, 24 square metres: the difference is the view, garden or sea.
- A third and fourth bed cost extra, and so does the minibar in the garden category.
- Sailing is the strong point: book lessons with the Wildwind centre on arrival, above all in high season.
- The kids club closes at 5 pm, and takes children up to twelve, which is wider than most hotels on the island.
