At a glance
One&Only Le Saint Géran sits on a private peninsula on the east coast of Mauritius, surrounded by 60 acres of tropical gardens and fringed by more than a mile of white sand beach, with the Indian Ocean on one side and a sheltered lagoon on the other.
The resort was the first property in the One&Only collection and takes its name from the ship Le Saint Géran, which sank off this coast in 1744 and inspired the 18th-century French romance novel Paul and Virginie by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. A transformation completed in recent years updated the resort’s colonial-style architecture, with new structures drawing on the island’s original sugar cane factories and plantation houses for their design language.
The 142 rooms and suites were remodeled as part of that transformation, with nature-inspired interiors of tropical green, sand yellow, and ocean blue, marble bathrooms, and private balconies or terraces with ocean or garden views. The resort sits entirely within its own private peninsula, which means the beach, the pools, the gardens, and the six restaurants are shared only with fellow guests.

Accommodation
Rooms
All rooms feature marble bathrooms, private balconies or terraces with ocean or garden views, 24-hour room service, free WiFi, air conditioning, and a minibar. Nature-inspired interiors of tropical green, sand yellow, and ocean blue run throughout.
Ocean View Rooms are available in king or twin configurations with a private balcony. Beach Access Rooms sit at ground floor level with a private terrace opening directly onto the resort’s private beach.
Suites
All suites include the same room amenities throughout, with butler service added as standard across every category. Junior Suites add a separate living area to the room layout. Ocean Balcony Suites have a private balcony directly overlooking the ocean and a separate living and dining area.
The two and three-bedroom suites cover over 2,100 square feet with furnished terraces, beachside cabanas, and a living and dining room between the bedrooms, suited to families or small groups.
Villa One
Villa One is the resort’s most complete accommodation, sold on an exclusive-use basis with a dedicated butler assigned for the duration of the stay.
The villa has a private pool, direct beach access, and a separate living and dining area, with all the room amenities of the suite collection extended across a fully private setting.
Meals, activities, and spa treatments can all be arranged within the villa rather than at the shared resort facilities, making it the most self-contained option the property offers.
