What sets it apart
The hotel is designed for guests with reduced mobility: some of the rooms are on the ground floor, the minimum room size is twenty square metres so that a wheelchair can manoeuvre, the showers are walk-in and lit, the mattresses orthopaedic, the seats ergonomic, and the public areas are wheelchair accessible. The other particularity lies in the Privilege rooms, of sixty-five square metres: on half board or all-inclusive, they include à la carte dinner at the beach restaurant at no supplement apart from seafood, one day’s catamaran cruise per stay with open bar and lunch on board for a stay of at least seven nights, a pillow menu and an espresso machine.
The mood
The hotel is in the middle of the village, so the shops and nightlife of Grand Baie are within walking distance, and its infinity pool looks out on the sailing boats and catamarans. The main bar, La Varangue, offers a list of premium rums and a wide choice of aromatic teas, and the beach bar serves Mauritian snacks, banana chips, moolkoo, roasted peanuts and fritters. The spa offers treatments for children aged 4 to 12, with adult treatments from the age of thirteen.
