Legend Hill Residences & Spa
Rivière Noire · Black River
Legend Hill stands at Tamarin, on the west coast of Mauritius, in the Rivière Noire district, on the flank of the Tourelle mountain. It is not an ordinary hotel, and its name says so: the estate brings together fifty-two properties, villas, apartments and penthouses, sold to private owners by the developer MJ Développement, and a hotel wing of rooms and suites. The whole is run by Phoenix Hotel Collection, a hotel management company based at Èze-Village, in the south of France.

What sets it apart
Position is the first argument: the estate is built into the flank of the mountain, above Tamarin bay, and the view takes in a hundred and eighty degrees over Le Morne and the bay. The fifty-two properties run from three to four bedrooms and open onto outdoor terraces facing the ocean: intimate nests with infinity pools. A second part of the estate is hotel accommodation, with sea view rooms and suites. The shared services serve both parts: spa, sports club, restaurants, bar and concierge.
The mood
Two tables: Le 1812, a gourmet restaurant whose menu was designed by the French chef Glenn Viel, three Michelin stars, and The B-View, chill & food, in the spirit of a beach club. A cocktail bar, The Santosha, completes the offer. On the fitness side, a two-hundred-square-metre sports club, a spa and a pilates and yoga area. A club house and a concierge service serve the whole estate.

Good to know
- This estate is not only a hotel: fifty-two properties on it belong to private owners, and the hotel wing is separate from them. That is the point to clear up before booking.
- The estate is high up and not on the beachfront: the sea is reached by going down.
Getting there
The estate is on Allée des Tamariniers, at Tamarin, in the Rivière Noire district, on the west coast. It is built high up, on the flank of the Tourelle mountain, and not on the beachfront: the sea is below.
