What sets it apart
The butler service is the central argument: the brand has run it for more than a century, and here it is attached to every suite, not only the largest. The Pure Spa spreads over more than two thousand square metres, with twelve treatment rooms, couples’ suites, a salon, a men’s grooming area and a relaxation terrace. The Grand Beachfront Villa is the largest unit, with four bedrooms each opening onto its own ocean-facing terrace, a heated infinity pool and three plunge pools, a private gym and steam room, two ocean-facing lounges, a private dining room and a family dining space for twelve, with a senior butler and a private chef available around the clock. The Manor House suites, in the estate’s original manor, measure 146 to 214 square metres and can host Pure Spa rituals in-suite.
The mood
Five dining venues, each with its own idea, and three of them serve dinner only. Le Manoir is the international table, French technique with Creole influences, breakfast 7 am to 11 am and dinner 6.30 pm to 10 pm. Atsuko is the Japanese table, teppanyaki and sushi prepared live, dinner 7 pm to 10.30 pm. Floating Market serves the flavours of South-East Asia at the water’s edge, dinner 7 pm to 10.30 pm. INDYA is the Indian table, dinner 7 pm to 10.30 pm. The Boathouse is the beach grill drawing on Greek and Turkish traditions, lunch 12.30 pm to 3.30 pm and dinner 6.30 pm to 10 pm. The St. Regis Bar, open 11 am to 11 pm, carries a hand-painted mural of Le Morne, and La Pâtisserie serves croissants, pastries and coffee on the colonial veranda, 11 am to 11 pm.

Getting there
The hotel stands on the Le Morne peninsula, at the foot of Le Morne Brabant. The brand’s rituals punctuate the day: sabrage at sunset, inherited from Mrs Astor, the Bloody Mary in its Mauritian reading with local spice, and afternoon tea served daily by the sea. The estate holds a private cinema, La Palme d’Or, a library, a Clefs d’Or concierge service and round-the-clock in-room dining.
