Our Thoughts

Sited on the quiet south coast, which is devoid of the developments affecting some areas of the island, this is Mauritius’ only genuine destination spa.

A number of wellbeing programmes can be pre-booked in advance, and if timed right, a stay can coincide with one of the spa gurus and masters who regularly visit.
